Preliminary Task: Post-Production

First Version

After story boarding our Preliminary task, we were given iPads to go out and film with. Once we had finished filming, we made a file called "DENCH Prelim." We then imported the file into the file, but we then realised that we had filmed it portrait, when we should have filmed it landscape. 

As you can see, the files have came out portrait and when we import them onto iMovie in the next step, you will see that the movie has came out too wide. 

Once we had imported the files onto iMovie, you can see that because we filmed it portrait, each clip has come out too wide.

Here is an example of a clip that we had filmed in portrait:

 Final Version: 

After realising that we had filmed it wrong, we re-filmed it in landscape. Here are the steps we took to begin editing our preliminary task: 

First, we imported the video from the iPad onto the iMac into a new folder called, "DENCH Prelim 2."

You can see here the difference between are first version and our final version already. Here, the clips are in landscape and not portrait. 

To begin editing or video, we opened iMovie and clicked on File, then Import, then movies. 

Then, we had to select the video that we wanted to import so we could edit, we picked the video from our "DENCH Prelim 2' folder.

This is the result when you have imported your video onto iMovie. You can now begin to edit your video. 

To cut different sections of your clip, you have to hold down on that clip and a yellow border will appear around the selected clip. You then drag that border to where you want that clip to begin or to end. 

Once you have the clip to the size you want, you can then hold down on the clip and with your mouse, drag it up to the far left corner. This is where all of your final cuts will be placed and you can add music and sound effects here too. 

To import music into your video, you go to the section of where the video is being played and if you look underneath, there is a music not sign. If you click on this 3 options will come up, iMovie Sound Effects, iLife Sound Effects and iTunes. When you have found the music or sound effect you want, to import it into your movie, drag it up into the  top left corner. First of all, the music clip will show up, saying that the music or sound effect will run throughout. However, if you do not want it running throughout, you can just hold down on the end of the music clip, drag it to where you want it to go to. 

Here is our final edit of our preliminary task. We cut many of the clips, to get the correct cuts that we desired and we added in music in some parts and a sound effects also.
