Camerawork and editing

During the filming of or piece the amount of equipment needed to reach a finished piece, in our case, was very limited. We were restricted by the quality of the camera and the accessibility of it. Our school had to share 5 cameras between 50-60 of us. So we did worry about getting it all finished on time, but everything really did flow quite well for us. We didn't have a tripod so still images were hard to achieve and we found that our footage was mostly a bit shaky. But we made do and managed to get some really good footage. What came next was bringing all the footage together. We did this by using the editing suite at our school which had 5 apple mac computers. The software we used on theses was iMovie, an editing software that is very simple to use and deals with some basic effects. Such as simple transitions, Texts, image overlaying and a simple version of green screen. We found the editing part very stressful as we had some technical problems with the mac. But we carried on and have enjoyed doing it. The software was easy to get used to as we had used in the production of our media work last year. We used less of the colour overlays and editing software that's on iMovie and tried to rely more on just quick cuts.
