Logging our work

Now that we have concluded the period of lessons in which we film our material, we have come to the editing stage. At the moment this entails us uploading our footage to adobe premiere and deciding which elements we should keep and which we should delete. Our group is finding this a particularly difficult process as we are yet to decide what the actual storyboard for our work is, therefore we do not know what will be of particular value to us yet. However members of our group are currently working on a story board and the footage we edit out is not completely erased, it can be revived into our production.

As you can see from the picture we are using specialist software to carry out our task on the Mac computer. Some of us found the process difficult at first, however we quickly learned the process to importing footage and editing it down to our preference. At the moment we are unsure of why there are two screens available for us to use, however this is something that our group will no doubt learn from our instructors in the lesson. We have quickly grasped the technique to using this particular software and we are achieving our work faster and faster as we learn more about it.

As we upload our footage we record the results in this table to have written proof of the progress we make in each lesson. We believe that by recording our results we can refer back to any changes we made in the editing stage of our work. At the moment we are logging the name of each individual piece of footage and writing down which elements we are definitely planning to keep. I feel that this organised preparation for our work will be very helpful in the later stages of production.
