Today in class we went over the editing process of our film projects. The lecture included instructions on using our cameras and tripods, as well as accessing the footage on our SD cards and dumping all of our takes on a computer or flash-drive. We also learned how to create a film sequence using clips of raw footage, and then cutting off parts we don't want in the film. We were also taught how to add titles and music to it using different tracks. Our teacher also showed us how to edit things like speed and color of the film. To use the tripod, you first unlock the latches on the legs. Then, you pull out all three legs all the way, then lock the latches again. To attach the camera to the tripod, you pull the lever on the top and flip up the part of the tripod that holds the camera, then flip the lever back to keep it in place. Unscrew the plate on top of the tripod and screw it into the hole in the bottom of the camera, making sure that it's tight enough or else the filing quality will be shaky. You then put the plate, with the camera attached, back on top of the tripod, and it is ready for filming.
To access the footage on the SD card, you have to check out an SD card reader. Then, you put the card in the reader and plug it into the computer. You open the reader option that appears on the desktop. Opening the folder with the footage seems slightly confusing, but our teacher gave us the exact steps to follow in order to open it, so I don't think I will have any trouble. Overall, I think I might have difficulty getting through the editing process, but I also believe I'll figure it out when I get there and ask for help if I need to.
