Week 12

As we continue to finalise the edit it became apparent that a few shots were not as steady as we once thought. I'm not quite sure how this happened as the tripod was placed on a flat surface away from where anyone was standing. There was one particular pan across the singers which was really shaky and not acceptable to be submitted. The pan shot was difficult to achieve on the day of filming anyway due to lack of space on the stage and no dolly and track. Although these would have been advantageous in getting a more successful shot we improvised by walking across in font of the singers trying our best to keep a still wrist. So to overcome this i took the clip home on a memory stick to edit at home. I converted the file into MP4 and uploaded it into iMovie, i know a simple software but it had what i needed. The software has a button which allows iMovie to analyse the clip and stabilise the video. I did this and although it made some difference it wasn't extensive but still it has made the overall aesthetics of the video better. Aswell as doing this we continued to work on the DVD cover and magazine advert.

The red squiggly line shows what parts of the clip have been stabilised.
