CLC

Today me and my media class went on a trip to the CLC to learn what we needed to know to carry out our preliminary task. Whilst we were there we were given a piece of footage of a lady making a cup of tea and we were told to edit it to make in look like it had been filmed continuously. They made us do this as this is what we were going to have to do after we had filmed our footage. When doing this task i found it very interesting and found that it was easier than i fort it would be. However, when we moved onto the next task which was to film 2 people talking to each other and edit them together as one was very complicating as we had to synchronize the sound in order for them to be speaking with each other not at each other. When doing this me and my group had some complications as the people who were recording the footage never got the begging which include the clap which was used for the start of the conversation. This meant that we couldn't line up the sound and just had to work around it.
Also, we were taught how to use Green screen technology(CGI), this was very complicating as you had to keep trying different backgrounds to see which one worked best with the footage you had. If you could still see pieces of the green background then you had to change your background so you could only see the the background you want. This was a very good experience and I learnt many things that will help me in media later on in life.
