Did I solve any problems today? How? What didn't I understand or find difficult today? What can I do about this?
Because some of the clips were of inadequate quality, we decided to film just a bit more a little. We needed to get a few filler clips for the song, basically the lip syncing and a victory thrust to show the protagonist's achievements. The problem was Nic's enthusiasm in singing, because he couldn't dance and was not very lively, so for one clip, we taught him basic dance moves for which he used. The end result was one excellent lip synced singing scene. This was the biggest problem solved. During the editing, I found adding bloopers difficult because of the lack of experience with tools. Despite being relatively inexperienced with the complex video editing platform, with Alastair the "Editor in Chief", we managed with to learn that in order to add bloopers, it wasn't a matter of finding templates where bloopers could be dragged in, rather, it involved shrinking the credits so that there would be space on the side where video clips could be added. After adding this and finalizing it, the music video was deemed officially finished.
What film skills have been reviewed today? What new skills have been introduced?
Given the two main tasks today, the filming and editing, the skills practiced were general filming techniques and general editing techniques. Both were obviously employed to finish the music video, officially. The new skill learned today was the addition of bloopers in the use of final cut pro. As described in the previous question, this new skill, while isn't vital is a good skill to have because many videos or movies tend to have bloopers. This also enhances my editing skill particularly in the credits area.
Evaluation
How successful was I in achieving my goals today and why? How could I/my group make use of time more effectively?
Because this was one of the last classes before the Criteria B due date, our main goal was to complete the music video so that it could be submitted on time, while our secondary goal was to fix up some inadequate parts of the music video such as Nic Tse's lack of dance skill in the clips. Given the fact we managed to finish the music video with the final filming and editing of the music video so that we could hand it in on time, I'd say we were incredibly successful in our goals today. Due to this, we were well on track and judging by other groups, we were ahead. We worked incredibly efficiently today which was one of the key reasons as to why we were able to complete our goals, which means our time management especially with the task division was incredibly good. I still, believe though, that better concentration in clip recording could have helped due to some distractions.
