Skills building in 'Technical Week'

A week was put aside by our teacher, where we could pick out several things which we thought may cause complications when either filming or editing.

My worries were:

• Not being able to use the QuarkExpress software, as i mainly use Photoshop.


• Not knowing how to alter the features onthe cameras. E.g. being able to adjust the iris on the cameras or adjust the focus.


• Having no idea how to produce picture in picture with the adobe Premier Pro editing software.

Here is evidence of us achieving a good result with Adobe Premier Pro editing software to produce picture in picture:

Here is a print screen of our footage in the software. You are able to see that all of our clips are at the same time in the timeline however they are on different layers. We managed to do this by clicking on footage on the screen in the top right corner and then being able to drag them and resize them. This meant that I was able to readjust the slips so that they were beside one another rather on top of eachother.

Here is the clip that we produced with our footage:

I was really happy with what we had produced. During the production of this clip we realised that for us to have enough footage we needed to film a lot more than we had originally thought. Having four clips happening at once means that the amount of time our footage covers will decrease. I am glad that we did this test run so that we could have found this out before we came to film it.
