Re-Edit of Main Task

At the beginning we all sat down and thought about what we could do to make the footage we had look better, as we were wanting to make it look less like a college and more like a random location.  This was very hard to do as there were signs all over the place making it hard to cut them out.  In the end we decided to completely re shoot, this included coming up with a completely new story line, new story board and a new location.  Our new opening scene makes a lot more sense when it comes to telling a story and it includes dialogue.  For the titles/ credits I learnt how to use Adobe After Effects and I made some titles to overlay the video and they looked more professional than the first main task as they were at the end of the scene making it look more like a movie trailer.

As we were borrowing the HD camera of school again we were also able to borrow a boom microphone and a digital recorder of a friend, so we were able to get the best quality sound as possible.

After doing the reshoot during our inset day, we sat down in our next media class and got to work editing the footage as from doing is we only had a week to re edit.  

This put a lot of pressure onto the whole group, (mainly Me, Ashley and Josh) as we had to completely start over so we could get our high grades we wanted. After I had downloaded a trial version of Sony Vegas onto the school computer I set Ashley to start editing the clips whilst I designed a ‘Suspect 7’ Logo and Josh and Phil got on with completing the story board.

Overall I feel that we managed to get the very most out of the final edit and all of us and I especially am very proud of it and I’m very glad that we re did the whole thing, even thought it was a rush to get it finished and a very stressful time. I feel it was very well presented and that it will push our grades up from the first task.
