For some of the projects we have used the studio and will continue to use it for further projects and final project that is to do with band Identity and promotion. Since the technical run through I feel that I understand the use and function of some of the equipment in there better.
For some of the filming we have used the basic flip video cameras. they are relatively easy to use but function well when we need to do some in camera editing and consider the shots that we are using carefully. they allow for basic editing and settings but they also have the added function of having a USB connectivity.
For putting the stop motion video together we used the imovie software, it allowed us to trim the clips down and remove the zoom function that would otherwise appear on the clips. We added in a soundtrack by selecting all of the clips and dropping in the sound. It did allow for some colour editing by hue/saturation functions.
The blogger website has been beneficial for displaying the work that we have been doing. I will also be adding some of my graphics work to the site in order to further its usefulness when showing to a potential employer. I like how I can add more to the posts and therefore edit at a later date.
We have also been using a HD video camera from the media department. This with a tripod will also be useful when making our music video. this will allow for a far more professional finish to the project than using the Flip Cameras. It allows for in camera editing and use of a gunzoom microphone for the accurate recording of sound.
I like the assignment and have enjoyed the stop motion video aspect of it and have since found that if you are employed as a graphic designer you may be asked to do a similar project involving collaboration.
I think that we need more collaboration with the music department rather than just going into Burton to take pictures. We need to practice photographing people performing and playing instruments in order to make this successful at the end of the year.
