Today we started post production, we where doing the editing side. Firstly we both took a quick look through all of the footage that we had captured from our one week of production, to familiarise ourselves with what we where working with. We set a deadline for today that we would complete the first scene, which was all of the exterior shots of the Hero walking to his lesson. However it took quicker than planned, and we managed to complete scene one and two which was the conversation scene between the nerd and the hero.
We did come across a few problems whilst editing, however it was nothing we couldn't fix. Firstly was the problem of the 'unrendered' footage every time we place something into the video timeline, we had already found this problem out doing our '
typing the titles video test', so we knew how to fix it. It was as simple as clicking on the 'sequence' tap at the top of the software and clicking on render video. The only problem that this caused was waiting for the video to render, and as we recorded in 1080P High Definition video this took ages. The second problem that we came across whilst editing was trying to take a video file off a memory stick. This was because 'Brad' had made the CCTV style footage using Sony Vegas at home on his Windows PC, so the video file was '.WMV', which inst compatible on Apple Mac computers. To resolve this problem we are simply just going to re-render the CCTV footage into an Apple compatible file such as a 'Quicktime' file so we can use the video file in Final Cut.
During our next lesson, '03/11/2011', we hope to complete the basic video editing by finishing scene three, which is the 'Bad-guys' scene where he gets changed into spy clothes. Also we need to take the title credits that Jack and Elliot made in Photoshop and place them in various parts of our opening sequence, we are also going to create some titles within Final Cut to add variety to the style.
