FINAL CUT PRO
Final Cut Pro has played a massive role in the making of our music videos, simply for the fact that they are made from scratch on final cut!
After all our clips were imported, final cut was used to snip out unwanted filming, add transitions, add base track editing, marking to get the lip sync in time, and to just create our final video.
Below are three screenshots of me using Final Cut and explaining what I was doing:
 |
| Above is a screenshot of me editing the duration/speed of the selected clip on the timeline. We were trying to see how the scene would look in slow motion - didn't work out too well. |
 |
| Above is a screenshot of me trying to add different effects onto our clip. I was looking at types of blurs specifically because for the lyric that says '...in the BLUR of the stars,' I wanted my face to be blurred for a second or so. (Below is the blur) |
 |
| Blur effect |
 |
| Above is a screenshot of me rendering the sequence so far on the timeline. The coloured clip on the left is what is being rendered due to the black and white colour change. We had to render quite alot because our whole video was in black and white. |

Final Cut Pro was also used for the making of our animatic storyboard. This was easier as it didn't include a range of transitions and effects - it was pretty much the basic import photo then drag it onto the timeline.

Photoshop is very similar to Final Cut in a way, it's just that Photoshop focuses more on still images and collages. Tools such as the 'magic wand tool' allowed me to crop out unwanted parts of the image, e.g the green screen.

Final Cut Pro and Photoshop were a bit of a struggle at the beginning, especially with marking, but the more I practiced and attended workshop - the better I got :)
BLOGGER
This was used to blog about all our research, planning, and different stages of production. It is exactly like an online diary but of course we have to watch exactly what we say. I think blogging has been 100% useful because it allows not only the examiner, but also ourselves to see how much we have progressed from the start. This can be seen through conflicting ideas that had been expressed back in our planning days.
Looking back to our September blogs and comparing it to recent January blogs, the blog also allowed us to see how we overcame these barriers during filming, editing, and the creation of our digipaks and advertisements. BLOGGER also helped us look at previous students work to inspire us!
BLOGGER helped us keep track of any ideas that were brought up, incase they were forgotten. This made it easy for me to stay on track with my work, because all I had to do was refer back to my blog. It is also very easy to access, as it can be accessed on any computer or mobile device. And of course I'm using it right now to blog my evaluation :)
