My Final Preliminary Task

Here is my final edit of my preliminary task based on a short film called 'the social life'. I did my filming seperatly from the filming of my phone screen. I then used final cut for the first time to insert the screen ontop of my short film. I have learn loads of different techniques on final cut already such as cropping and inserting an image or clip, I have learnt how to split clips and generally understand how to work on this software as it is very different from imovie.

Struggles I had to face:
Whilst making my preliminary task I had to over come some issues along the way such as sending my edited work over from my laptop to my destop due to issues of not posting. This wasnt to hard to do but it did meant that the quality of the filming is quite poor. Once I uploaded my first draft, I needed to edit the phone screen clips onto Mrs Williams Mac as she had final cut, however, when I came to export both of my filming clips, my preliminary task got lost. I therefore, had to convert it off youtube to then exported onto the laptop, which meant, again it lost quality. I think I over came this problem well and I have also learnt alot in the process which is a positive.
Finally, I notice that I spelt 'starring' wrong at the beginging. However, it was too late to change it as I couldnt edit it. I tried to cover it but it didnt work, so in the end I left it as it isnt too obvious.

Screen experiment

Once I filmed my preliminary task, I then filmed the additional parts of the phone screen afterwards. Firstly, using the new iPhone update I was able to record my screen taking a picture on snapchat and posting it, then scrolling through social media, liking different posts. I then recorded my phone on my camera and uploaded this to IMovie. However, I can't yet insert this onto my preliminary task as iMovie doesn't have the accessabilties. Here is my phone screen clips that I will insert into my preliminary task once I get to school and have final cut to use.

My Preliminary Task

Here is my preliminary task on the short film called "A Social Life". I chose this short film to remake as it raises similar issues as I will be portraying. I filmed this in my home with a Panasonic Lumix GX7 which has sharp quality. However, when I can to edit this I did it all on my MacBook but then it wouldn't upload,  I therefore had to send it over to my Apple Mac computer which lost quality definition. I have learnt from this that I will do all my editing on my Mac desktop to prevent this problem. This isn't my finished product as I will be editing to make the phone screen come up onto the screen so it shows us what my character is looking at on her phone.
