Editing lesson blog

Today in class we learned about the procedures to check out a camera and when to sign in or out for one. We learned what to do when we get the camera, SD card, SD card reader and tripod, and how to use them. At the end of learning about the procedures of the 4 materials, we learned about the editing process. The editing process consisted of us needing to use pinnacle studios to import and export all our footage. The lesson as a whole took a long while, but that was because it was a lot to know and every bit of information was important. We would not want to mess up on one thing then our footage becomes missing or lost.

Camera, SD card, tripod lesson: For the camera part of the lesson we learned that before we can get a camera, we must sign an agreement sheet every time we want to check out one. We must sign in and out for both a camera and an SD card. If we do not sign it, we will not get a camera. We cannot start filming if we don’t have an ID on. The camera, camera bag and tripod will have a number on them we must put what number we used. Media passes will be given to us it will be used to know if one of our partners are not here. We also learned how to use the tripod, we were taught how to adjust the it to make it taller or shorter and how properly place the camera on top of it.

Editing lesson:  In the editing part of the lesson everything that we were taught is very important. If we didn’t listen and take notes to everything that we were told, we could mess up somewhere and potentially lose our footage. I learned that every bit of editing that I do to the footage will be done on pinnacle studios. To dump our footage to our computer, we must place our SD card into our SD card reader, then insert in into the USB. When we do that, we make a folder where all our footage will be. After doing that, we get to the good stuff. We are free to put transitions, music, sound, text etc. When we are finished editing, we must export the finished product.
