Progress so far

We have been given our 3 filming lessons and we feel we have progressed a lot. We managed to film all our clips, but one, in the first filming lesson, and upload them onto the Macs. This gave us an advantage of 2 more lessons to edit with, which we used well.
Unfortunately with the absence of Jack, we lacked team support, but eventually we managed to upload and string together the clips so it made sense. After we did this we added a fade in fade out to the beginning clips so the audience can 'warm in' to the viewing of this children's movie.
During the second lesson of editing without Jack we focused on the beginning credits. This proved difficult but we learnt many new skills including how to fade out credits and how to move the text about the screen. We incorporated these skills into the children's film beginning sequence.
In the sequence we also learnt how to modify the speed of the clip and also learnt how to reverse a clip. These skills are also used in our children's film.
During the next few lessons we will hope to make the sound track for the film on Garage Band and tweak any minor problems with the opening sequence.
