Editing Blog

Today October 14th 2019 In class, we learned the procedures of what we will have to do on the day we film and on the days we edit our commercials. In the begging we were taught how to check out the cameras. Our teacher explained how we were supposed to manage the camera and its components, like the SD card and the tripod. We were told how to fill out the the forms to rent the camera, so when the day of the filming comes we will be prepared to do what we are supposed to fast so we can have as much class time we can to film our commercial. After we learned about the agreement sheet we learned how to manage the tripod. I payed attention very carefully to the instructions because one small mistake could cost us the commercial or even worse, break the camera in some way.We will edit our commercial using pinnacle studios and to do that we need a log in and password from one person of our group. It is important that we always use the same person to log in so we can edit our commercial.

Our teacher went over every single little detail on how to use pinnacle studio. She taught us how to save programs, cut, add light or take away light and many other things. This period helped us a lot because when we get all the footage done it won’t take long for us to finish the editing and be done with our project. We also learned how to “dump” our footage from the camera into pinnacle studios safely, so we don’t have any risks of losing our footage and have to re shoot it again. I could tell that Mrs.Marchionne was an excerpt on pinnacle studios because they way she was explaining us how to do our editing was very clarifying and easy to understand. A really important point that our teacher made was that it is important for us to write the person that we are using log in and password because in case that the person is absent my group would still be able to finish our work easily.

Overall this class period was very helpful for me and my group because none of us new how to use the materials that the school provides for us properly. We also didn’t know how to edit on pinnacle studios, and even to dump the footage from the camera to the computer properly. Mrs.Marchionne’s explanation was really good and helped me and my group to understand the procedures and how to do what we have to do right and in the easiest way possible. She was very clear on her explanation and that was really easy to comprehend. Me and my group are ready to get started on filming. We will make sure we handle all the materials carefully. We will also edit our commercial the way our teacher taught us. Hopefully we will be able to do on the field exactly what we have planned on the transcript paper and get a good grade on this project.
