Reflection/Evaluation for 15/4/11

Reflection

Today we finalized our post-production process and exported our video. During the process, there were several problems, most of which were relatively minor. The audio equalization in the video was problematic. The song conflicted greatly with the original audio from the recording sessions, such as the basketball bounces and speech.

Due to our ineptness with the program, it took some help from Ms. Wong and time to explore the program to find an audio edit zone. This allowed us to reduce the volume of the ambient noise and balance the audio. After this, we exported the video successfully. This experience helped me understand audio editing within movies a lot more.


Evaluation

Today I found it really fulfilling and felt a sense of achievement today when our group exported our final video and placed it into the drop box. The sense of accomplishment in completing a project such as this was enjoyable and the fact that we were the only group to make the deadline was also rewarding.

I also enjoyed the learning experience during today's lesson and also in previous lessons. I am now a little more acquainted with the software used to edit videos professionally, and while I still have a long way to go before I become efficient with the program so that I can use it effectively, I think I have learned a lot about editing and the filmmaking process in general throughout this project.

I will, however, continue to make videos for fun occasionally and expand, through experimentation, my knowledge of the program. This will help me be more comfortable with the program in future.
