Grading screengrab |
This is my first year doing media, whereas the other two members of the group have done it previously for GCSE. I felt this put me in a lower position of expertise but we had done a prelim activity and edited our rough cut already so I knew the basic editing skills. As the time went on, I picked up on different things that could be done to make the sequence even better, using dissolves and video effects, to create the right feel for certain aspects of the film (for example blurring the screen when it is Lola's point of view to show that she is drunk and isn't thinking straight). Another important skill I learned, was how to grade shots to make them all look roughly the same colour. I came in most lunchtimes and breaks to work on the edit and spoke to the media technician about many points so that I could learn how to do different things such as making some of the shots slow motion. No more than two people were needed to edit the sequence at a time because otherwise it was over crowded, and so when we were all present (in lessons and at lunch), one person would be allocated the Macbook in order to work on the titles, and we all took this in turns.
