Today we learned many things such as how to dump our clips into the computer, film while using a tripod and how to edit our commercial. Ms. Katz first showed us the camera that we will use in order to film our commercial. She then went over the procedures that we need to follow for filming and bringing the camera and sd card back to class. Ms. Katz then put the camera on a tripod. She went over different angles that you can do with the tripod such as tilts and pans. Whenever we need to move the tripod however, we must close it back even if it's just a few feet. She then told us that we can also get attachments for our iPhones that allow us to connect it to the tripod if we want to use our phones. If we want to record with our phones then we must do the same dump process. Ms katz showed us how to dump right after the showed us the camera. The dumping process is the most important.
Dumping is a super important process. For dumping, you must put your sd camera in the computer and make a new folder on your desktop. After you make a new folder and name it, you can start grabbing your clips. Your clips will will be under the DCMI folder. After you open the DCMI folder the you have to find the date. Once I find the date, I open the ACVHD folder and grab my clips and drag into my folder that made. Ms. Katz told us to make sure that our clips were successfully put in our folder because someone can delete your footage. If i'm working with a group then someone must give their login for their computer. Everytime we go on our computer we must go on the same person's login. If not, we won't be able to access the footage.
Lastly, we learned about editing. First we need to open Pinnacle Studios which will be on the desktop of the computer. It might be Pinnacle 17, 18, or 19 but it does not matter because they all have what is required to edit. After you open pinnacle studio, you have to wait before you start clicking stuff. If you don't wait until it's fully loaded, it will crash. After pinnacle has loaded, you will load your footage in AVI 2. In Avi 1, text will be placed, and in AVI 3, will be the sound. Ms. Katz then proceeded to show us how to cut and trim clips as well as add text. She showed us how to edit the texts font and change the color. Lastly, Ms. Katz showed us most importantly how to render / export our movie to the final product.
