Blog reflection 11

This week we purely focused on editing the clips we had. However at the beginning of the week we filmed a few un planned shots to help bring the video together. Editing allowed us to see the faults in our previous filmed shots. The main decision for this week was trying to decide what shots went where and what shots we wanted to use in our music videos and ones to avoid. We also decided this week that we wanted to have behind the scene clips in our video. Meaning we had to go back and sort that out. However a lot of time has been spent on trying to get use to final cut. We had to change the colour on a majority of clips because they were too dark but final cut tools helped us make them brighter. We also started our digipak and magazine as we took some pictures when we filmed so we had consistency through all three products. We started editing the digipak and magazine to help us later on in the production area. We did this because we didn't have any shot to edit before filming because we used all our previous shots.

 Our plan was to have our first draft by thursday which we missed due to the lack of shots. However we have a deadline for next friday which we will meet allowing us to get feedback. I also had to decide weather i wanted to use fireworks or photoshop to edit the digipak with, i decided to use photoshop as i felt the software would give me more space to edit the digipak. I also want to become more experienced with this software. We mainly need to fill in the gaps for the bits we don't have footage which will be done by next week. I fell like we are in a good place in terms of timing for production. 
This week i learnt how to use final cut in more details as i can confidently import footage to my library which was a struggle before. I also learnt how to correct the colours on dark clips and how to add fades and filters to a clip.
