The Video...
The Video...
With the licence to pick our team for this week, I went on to stay loyal to my next door neighbour in the class to produce a well made video with partner, Matt.
Last week our tutors (Simon and Owain) were drilling into our heads to use 'close up' shots regularly within our footage and this week this was applied again. Personally I think as a pair, me and Matt got so side tracked on the fact we have a exciting new camera to try out meant that we forgot to pull of any close ups and as there was no time come 15:15 on Friday we couldn't reshoot.
Montage was the theme this week, but when it came to the editing stage, our tutors wanted us to make quick/instant shots which happen like in a flash. If this wasn't achieved I would have long/boring shots which would be ok for an ordinary video but it meant we hadn't achieved the technique of 'montage'. To achieve montage in further I sped up each and every sequence to 250% rather than 100%.

YouTube issue
Come 15:15 I was in rush to get out of the lesson due to other personal commitments after college. I had got my edit done by 14:25 that afternoon but every time I seem to upload my video it would always freeze on 39%. With that bad luck to conclude the week, I will attempt to try and upload the video again this upcoming Tuesday (8th March) in our digital editing theory lesson.
Black Screen...
For long periods after the video had finished, so approximately a whole 7 minutes my footage goes into black screen mode. Do not have a clue how this has cropped up but it is not a moment to worry because my tutor as it was at the end of the video it didn't matter.

Behind the Scenes...
Here is Matt as I and him paid a visit to Argos, in Trowbridge town centre on (Thursday 3 March) as instead of using a college camera like in previous work, Matt went on to splash out £38 for a 'GoPro' camera alongside a 'GoPro Chesty Chest Harness for himself and for the benefit of this exercise.
