Line of Action Edit

Task:

In your teams, you will have planned and shot your line of action in as mush detail as possible. Yesterday, I saw some examples of some excellent practice - white balancing every shot during week eight of your first year shows marvellous attention to detail! Also, lots of manual focus and one group even managed to film in 16:9... This brief should give you the time and space to practise new things and improve.

Here's what you need to do now:

1. Write up your shots list from yesterday and write a production blog of what you were required to do and what you did.

2. In your teams, capture footage using batch capture like we did last week. This time though, you are going to log every clip (so it becomes an offline clip with a red line through it in the project bin). As you go along, mark up which clips you actually want to capture. At the end of logging, select the clips you want to capture in your project bin and get batch capturing! Screen grab all the way - this brief is about editing - so you need to show me that you really understand this process. Whilst it is batch capturing, type up your technical journals whilst it is all fresh in your minds.

3. Transfer captured footage onto the student shared area and set up your own projects.

4. Edit your film using the long version - take us every step of the way using every shot you took to describe the line of action. Add in non-diegetic sound and mix with your diegetic sound i.e. don't delete existing sound...

5. Once you have completed that, try your second, pacier version. You will make this a third of the length of your original - it will rely on fewer clips, but it will still make visual sense and describe the line of action.

6. Send both edits to Vimeo. Upload to blog. Job done!
