I HAVE FINISHED MY EDIT!!! I'm so happy!! Last night I have just finished my edit and it looks brilliant in any ways possible! Now all I need to do is hand it in and when that is done Mr Andrews will talk to us about using GarageBand!
So we're nearly half way down or maybe less!! So this is really good news!! Just to let everyone know that I'm done with my edit and all we need to do is the MUSIC, which is my favourite part!!

Reflection: 13/08/10
Today is Friday the 13 and all is well here at the year 10 Creative Media classroom!!
I have learnt new different techniques of the program Final Cut Pro and how these different techniques are used with helping enhance my edit. I have also found out new discoveries about why my edit has been SO SLOW! But I guess Mr Andrews had mentioned it but now I'm double checking if the problem he had suggested. An exciting experience happened today, well... I'm being dramatic, it wasn't that exciting experience it was just a joy to do it. I guess you want to know what this exciting experience was? Well today one of my team mates showed us her version of the film and it was VERY GOOD!! I was like WOW and man I did mean it! It was better than mine.... and now I have a small idea that I might ask to take but it isn't that big so in away it makes ideas grow and it also makes friendship stronger!!
The different techniques that I have learnt today is adding effects into my edit such as Blurs, Cross Dissolve and Contrast the Brightness. This was really exciting for me to learnt because I have been asking Mr Andrews for his help for a long time, but as you know the class has been very busy and there are a lot of people who need his help so I ask my fellow friends and crew about how to add these techniques in my edit and as graciously they obliged. Katie Manchester helped me with finding out how to do the blurs and adding more effects and Olivia Park showed me how to change the contrast of the background colour. So overall using these different techniques makes my edit much clearer and brighter!!
So the reason why my editing has been so slow is because of my small little hard-drive. Mr Andrews had said that it was it and I did believe him but when I came home today and I put my program on my other big hard-drive and I started using the Final Cut Pro program to start editing I found that the program runs so much faster and clearer than it did with my small little hard-drive. So now I'm running with a fast program and I'm sorting everything out and I'm under control with everything!
The footage that we watched was Olivia Park's version of our film. Her film was very good (I have to say)!! I was very surprised but I was surprised that she made it so good... if that makes sense!! :P
I took some of her ideas (but she doesn't know-I'm going to ask her) but this idea is only small! The editing was very good but I have to say there are some errors that are placed in her edit, like she doesn't have text (which I'm guessing that she's going to add them in later) and I sort of good lost with some of the sequences but eventually I caught up. But if I didn't understand the movie myself than I would defiantly get lost... but yeah. That's her edit and maybe I'll tell her my feedback but I guess the storyline is just like the rest of my crews work...
The best thing about having a great CM class is that I have gotten my friend back and that we are cool with everything! I'm so happy each CM class because soon we will be doing something that I love doing, and that's... Sound in Film! Or Music in Film! I love doing this because in my music class (last term) we did an assignment on composing with film. Which is composing a piece of music to a clip and for our test we had to watch different clips and figure out the different instruments playing, texture and everything relating to the elements of music to how it is represented in each film. So you can say I have a head start but I believe that it's a little different from what I did in music because we actually had to compose our music and for this we will just have to combine different beats and rhythm together and bomb you got your music.
Overall I am happy with the progress that I'm at now and I am nearly finish editing my footage and soon it will be ready to hand in!!

Reflection: 12/08/10
In this lesson today we are finishing off our edit. For me I am having trouble with editing my transitions into my film. I have my transition slides in but I'm not quiet sure if it's done correct or not, so I'm trying to ask Mr Andrews for his help but as their are other people who need his help more than I do than I will just have to wait again until the next time. This is the only thing I need to do because I have edited my clips together but I also I need to add titles into the film...
My edit is the same as the on that we showed in class because that was my own edit so actually I showed my edited to the class. The film that I edit in iMovie is much better version to the one from Final Cut because to be honest I can not handle using Final Cut and it's so frustrating in figuring out how to us Final Cut.
Also I have another problem an annoying warning box is always appearing on my screen saying that my hard-drive has small space and thus can not play some scenes that I want it to play... so overall FRUSTRATING!!!

Reflection: 6/08/10- Editing my Footage
2 days ago I had taken home a school laptop to finish my edit of my film. I had a few difficulties working out how to use Final cut because I'm quiet use to using iMovie, so I had to figured out different things with the program and to my great success I worked out and managed how to use this program after a nights work.
The difficulties that I had with the program lay within playing the clips. A message kept popping up saying something like, "It is slow because of hard-drive doesn't have enough memory and it's slow because..." of something. They also said something about RT which I have no idea what that means...
I also had difficulties figuring out how to crop the footage but in the end I managed how to do it but I took quiet a while to do it. Also I tried putting in the transitions in because you have to do this strange thing by adding in the next footage and then you had to click in the middle of both clips and than do to the transition button and choose your transition. I know that doesn't sound too hard but it is when you never used it for a long period of time. But overall using the program wasn't so hard, but there were some pot holes that I had trouble with but everything is almost done and all I need to do is add titles and more transitions...
I emailed Mr Andrews about the problems I had with the message popping up and I thought that I would be there for the next lesson but unfortunately I had to leave early because I was running a temp. So I haven't finished my editing (just yet) and I missed our last CM lesson which I really need help with my editing. So now I'm screwed!
1. I don't have a computer to finish off my editing
2. Don't have Mr Andrews help
3. It's due on Monday!!!

Reflections: 3/08/10
Today was the day when we had to make a To Do List of what we needed to do and what we've done. So far my group has done a far amount of work done, but we still need to finish off the EDL.
Today I was sorting out and covert my footage that I wanted in MY edit film. This didn't take a long time because I knew all ready what I wanted to do because it was similar with the actually rough edit we did as a group, but there are scenes that are added in that we filmed after we showed our rough edit to the class.
I had a few problems today. Firstly I had problems with working out how to use Final Cut Pro, because I'm really use to using iMovie but as the rest of my group and Mr Andrews had mentioned it would actually better if I choose to edit my film in Final Cut Pro (to my dismay). But he always mentioned that it would be better quality so I had to change once he said 'BETTER'.
So today I was just converting and picking throw the footage I wanted and having few bumps in the way as well...
