what im doing in summer

DVD burning

Due to massive problems encountered with the college computers encore cs3 is not working and crashes on every computer loading up. I tryed running encore at home but no luck due to encore not linking with Photoshop. But this error comes up. I had to put the file and burn it to the disc using windows without the menu.




This is the menu i made with Photoshop along with a working highlight for the words that cuts to the movie.  
I also had a sound track imported which was Son of Flynn by Daft Punk.

So you have to go on to the file and watch it on Quicktime.

Editing

The first thing I did for my project file for editing is create a 720p 25 frames per second project. This is a higher resolution for better quality efficiency.  I saved it to my external hard drive that I own in my premiere folder. the project is now ready to be started.
Firstly I imported all my .MOV files and grouped them together in premiere folders to keep me organised.

I followed the story board as much as possible but sadly we did not film the scene of Zach's parents talking about video gaming and their opinions.  This is because we did not have enough time to go to his house and also his parents were unavailable at the times we needed them. This means that we did not have all the range of opinions that we wanted.  Zach could have taken a camera home and done it himself but he wanted another team member to accompany him.

I used many video effect transitions in my edit to make things flow. I used many different transitions such as stretch, fade to black and swing etc. I used split screen for the first time on a college project and I used it for vox pops interviewingas a transition.

I used key frames images and audio fluently throughout this project by using other programmes such as photoshop, paint and sound recorder.

Keyframes are edited in by placing and moving within effect sliders, you can use many to create animation which will demonstrate interest to the audience.

Music tracks were used to blank out silent parts of the documentary and this generates excitement inbetween talking in clips.

Filming

Today after pre-production was finished, filming is the next step after these many weeks.

I had to use sufficient enthusiasm for Zach to come and film at my house for the rest of our footage. I also organised for another friend to help us out due to Sam’s absence as he had to work. Filming was disorganised . We managed to film footage playing the games and then also footage of our introduction and factual information clips. Moreover, interviewing of my parents which was sufficient because of their opinions compared to a younger audience’s opinion.

We also filmed in college and interviewed some fellow students to see what their opinion of gaming was to help the legitimacy of our project. We also found out information on what types  of games people played and at what age they first started to play.

For our social action filming we organised a story board I created that we would show the process of EMA such as the filling in the form and giving it in and therefore receiving the money. We filmed in the college foyer where the EMA box is located.

Pre-Production

We have spent the last few weeks completing production paperwork for our 2 documentaries.
This has envolved listing and Developing our ideas, developing scripts and logistical sections and research and planning tasks.

For pre -production there has been a lot of pressure put upon us due to the slow working of the group and some absences , also the work allocation was late being set up.We have to go to the lecturer and show that we have done the work so we can go and use the college camera equipment.
Last minute bookings will have to be made for the equipment due to lack of time and footage

• Such as sound mixing
• Sound volume changing (dB's)
• Also Exporting at different kilo hurt levels and bit rate.
• Comparing audio tracks

This is Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 + 5, 6 i have used this software package multiple times for different projects Ive done like music videos and trailers. This is a powerful Professional cutting software in comparison to Apple's Final Cut Pro. we are going to be using this software for this project for editing processes
