imovie imovie
The imac proved to be an important tool to contributing towards my opening film project as the programme imovie on the macs allowed me to upload and edit my film exactly how I wanted to.
To ensure the editing of my filming was effective I practised by randomly filming around school, uploading the footage to an imac via the fire wire cable and then editing the footage so the film had a sense of continuity. By doing this and experimenting with the various amounts of editing techniques such as: transitions, audio effects, and visual effects like titles, I gained a great understanding of how imovie worked and how to get the best out of it, this research and practise proved effective when it came to editing my actual piece because it meant I could get working straight away without needing help and could use more challenging and superior editing techniques. I also carried out practise filming on the Sony camera I used for my actual piece, so I could gain an understanding of how it worked, therefore I wasn’t stuck when it came to filming my final piece meaning I didn’t require the help of other people, which saved time. Preparation proved essential.
imovie’s layout is user friendly, I found it very easy and effective to use. After importing my footage, imovie instantly separated the film into the different shots and from there I cut out the bits I needed by splitting the video at the play head then dragging the cut shot in to the area below to start building my project.
