Today we finished off our international promos. We then filmed some footage for a music class. Our groups theme was the word "calm". So we filmed a few different things at school such as trees blowing in the wind. We then went online and found some images of young children playing and smiling. We used this to create our short clip for inspiration for the music students. We used soundtrack pro to create an acoustic track that we could use to help edit our clip. However once the editing is completed we will remove the song track so that the music students can use the footage to help inspirer them to compose their own music. Tomorrow we will head to north brighton to attend sessions at the 2011 Bayside Film Festival.

The majority of todays lesson was spent editing our international student promo videos. Rob was away on ski camp so we had a sub. This made some editing tasks hard because I wasn't able to ask rob questions. However, with the help from my classmates, i managed to work through the problems I came across. The biggest task this lesson was not only finding the right footage for what the interviewee was saying but adjusting the sound levels in relation to the music and the talking. This was hard because the sound quality in the interview was crap to be honest. The good thing is that next week i will only need to add in a few titles and I will be finished :)

Last week we started a new activity to help promote the international program at the school through creating a short video showing of Sandringham College's qualities. I made good progress last week working out what parts of the interview I wanted to use in my video. I found it hard to find the right additional footage. I wrote out notes on what i wanted my final video to look like and as to what I needed to do this week in order to complete me video.
