10/14 Today our class went over how to sign in and out with our cameras and how to edit our commercial. We are assigned an agreement every time we use the school camera and every time we return it, if we don’t have it signed we will not be able to use the camera or SD card for recording. We learned where to sign in and where to sign out. There is a separate sheet for the SD card and camera so we must be responsible for our things, the sign in folder is near our classroom door and the sign out is on the other side of the room. We should have our contact number written down on the paper and another person in case someone in our group is not here. For our commercial project we will be using a camcorder which is usually easy to use. Our teacher taught us how and where to put in the SD card and how to use the tripod for stability. She is teaching us good general information on how to start up using our cameras and editing in the computer.
A lot of our equipment is easy to use because of its basic tools and I have prior experience with the use of cameras. Our teacher showed us how easy it is to turn on the cameras and off by flipping the screen where the videos shows on the camcorder closed and open. To charge the camera there is a U shaped port to plug it in from, it takes awhile to load but the once the camera is charged it stays on for a long time. We also leaned about the SD card reader which is a way to dump all of your footage onto the computer. Another thing we were taught was how to use a tripod. The use of a tripod is for stability. It has knobs for you to be able to adjust the camera. You can move it in some certain movements such as pan and tilt. You can bring it up as high your liking.
Lastly, we went over the editing portion for the commercial. We must make a folder to put in our clips and takes and set it as a desktop. We should save our footage to other places like our google drive as a back-up. We use pinnacle studious to edit our clips. To check if you have imported you must find the title of what you have saved in your folder. We learned how to crop raw footage using the razor blade icon it will help us in the future when its time to edit. We also were taught how to add text with the "T" icon. To export, we must use MPEG 4 best quality and start export, name it, and save it as an Export. We must save as after each time we edit in our commercial. We will continue to be taught more things to improve our project in the best way. I feel the more my group and I start to understand it the easier the film process will be .
