Editing

I was looking forward to the editing process of my film as during the last few weeks of the workshops I had really felt I had got the handle of editing and especially using after effects. Which I am pleased about because I know I have struggled with after effects with previous work. The only thing I was worried about was the editing of sound, as I was not sure what clips the sound was good enough to use or what I could put on as my backing.

Technical Issues 

During editing I came across a few technical issues, the first one was getting the footage off the camera and onto my laptop. When I went into university I managed to successfully get the footage onto my computer then to only find out I did not have enough storage space on my hardrive. I then had to use a university portable hardrive to store my editing and footage.  I then planned to complete the editing at home and plugging the portable hard drive into my laptop. Unfortunately when I got home I found that it did not have the correct connections for the university hardrive to plug into my macbook pro laptop.  

After some research and downloading a file converting software I did managed to eventually download the footage off the camera onto my laptop to start my editing all over again.

 I then had to download after effects and this took considerable time.After I had finished editing I had to research how I exported my movie as I was able to do it but then I could not find it on my laptop or had not saved properly. After viewing multiple videos on YouTube I worked it out. I also found uploading onto youtube was problem due to poor internet speeds where i live so i wish i had left more time for that. However when i did upload in university it uploaded straight away so that was one less worry.
