Today I arrived at Long Road College, at 8am to collect the hard drive with the archive footage on from Nick. I needed the hard drive with the archive footage on, so i could import the footage into our promo video for the festival.
Once i had found the Hard drive and collected all that i needed from the media office at Long road, i then traveled to Coleridge, to start my day editing with Ash.
I arrived at Colerdige at 9.10am and soon got too work on the promo video.
It wasnt long after we started editing that we found a problem, that problem being that the archive footage is mainly in black and white, and we needed coulour footage for the promo video, but me and ash soon over came this problem by searching futher into the hard drive. Where we found some colour footage of archive, from around 1970ish.
Once we found the footage we needed to place into the windows on the promo video we got to work on editing all the seaperate videos int o black and white and we also editined the contrast and brightness on some of the shots, as some for example were too bright or dark due to the sun glare, so we editied the contrast on them shots.
Once we touched up the footage and also chose the final archive to place into the windows, we started to edit paths around the archive footage ready to be put into the windows on each of the shots.
The only other pronblem we faced was when we exported the video to after effects from final cut the videos were not propperly de-interlaced so the videos had a double vison type look to them. But this problem was soon solved when we simply de-interlaced all the clips by highlighting them all and pasting on the "de-interlace" effect to them all.
Overall today went well, and we done what we possibly could in order to make the project as close to complete as possible. We will continue our work on the promo video on wednesday at 9am when dave will be with me and ash to complete the promo video for the festival. (Or though it may not be published before the festival is over i still believe that this video will contribute strongly to my blog / portfolio and the work experiance, and will also benifit the film festuval organisers as they can use this for future screenings, also this video can be manipulated and changed to suit other projects such as the one set by matt on sunday, which was to create a video or booklet or anything else we can think of which will show future sponsers what they can get out of sponsering the festival in Cambridge, and also to sell the festival to them.
Here are some photos i took of todays editing session at Coleridge:
