Test Footage - Typing the Titles

This is our test video to see if our camera could record the text on the computer screen...it did. We used Alex's Nikon DSLR for this test footage, and recorded using the macro lens so we could get the close-up shots of the typing and the words entering the Google search bar clearly. This test was also done so we could practice our second use of practical title in our opening sequence, the nerd in our film types out on the computer, 'Bradley Stearn as the nerd', this is a practical title, as it has been made with every day items such as a computer screen. Practical titles are more entertaining than just basic text that has been made in Photoshop or Final Cut. The test was also done to see if the file format that the camera recorded to was compatible with Apples Final Cut video editing software, it was compatible and the outcome is shown below. We edited using Final Cut, and simply put three different camera angles into a fast cutting sequence.


Update - 21/10/2011 -
As well as testing Alex's camera, today we tested to see if Brad's camera was compatible with Apples Final Cut. The outcome was a relief, because we had filmed almost everything on the camera and if it wasn't compatible, we would of had to re-film everything in one lesson, or edit using our own 'Windows' laptops.
