When i first started Media AS, i didn't have any skills with any of the programmes on the Apple MAC's. I actually wasn't very good or had any skills with the MAC's too. I have used them in the past for GCSE media as we had to edit our little video we done but i didn't really know much.
When we first got introduced to the Apple MAC's i thought it was going to be something i could never figure out and be good at! But it didn't take very long to get the hang off!
We were firstly introduced to the Final Cut Pro, which is clearly the main programme to edit our trailer. We used clips from the Bait tutorial to bring some clips together for it to make sense. This was basically just an exercise us to get used to tools such as the razor tool, input, output etc.
We were also introduced into Live type pro, SoundTrack Pro and the actual equipment to film: JVC video camera, Tripod, Sound kit and Lighting!
It took us roughly half a lesson to be able to use each programme. Live Type Pro was another programme were i learnt to create titles for my title sequence. We learnt how to get effects onto the words, different styles, font, size, colour and animation etc. We also learned how to put them onto Final Cut Pro and rend them to get the final piece!
We filmed with the JVC digital cameras and i really enjoyed doing this. This wasn't the first time i had used a tripod or camera because i had been filming for my GCSE course works too. However i had gained skills into camera movements, angles and shots.
We were taught the really basic aspects of what we needed to do while using the camera (health and safety)
We were taught how to lengthen a tripod, open and close lenses of the camera, turn on and off, insert memory card and battery and how to check for the voice, to see if its working!
I really enjoyed using all these programmes and gaining new skills for the media society!
