Blogpost for Friday the 28th!

This week in CommTech we worked on our 30 second videos. My video is going to be about Georgian College, and the program Digital Photography & Imaging. I am going to introduce the college name, the program, and then show some of my photographs I took. We also received a chapter 8 Video Editing booklet with some questions. Here they are with the answers;

Chapter 8 - Video Editing
1. Describe how digital video editing evolved starting in the 1990's.
2. There are three types of editing methods. Name each of them and describe when you would use each type.
The three editing methods are;
i) Edit as you shoot - always allow for the short delay between the time you press the record button and when the camcorder actually starts, look around to see where the light is coming from, always use a tripod, plan out camera movements, plan out types of shots, leave ten seconds of footage before each shot and after each shot, and walk through the scene so you get an idea of what the shot is about.
ii) Tape editing - an inexpensive storage medium and editing long productions can go quicker.
iii) Computer editing - affordable that even the average consumer can produce a professional looking video with their home computer. All you need is a computer capable of handling fast speeds and a capture card is needed.
3. What are the features needed on a computer in order to perform digital video editing. Give a comprehensive list and descriptions.
4. What information is contained on the Edit Decision List?
5. Define Editing Style. What are the 2 types of editing styles outlined in this chapter? Give 2 characteristics for each of these styles.
Editing style is the distinct way in which an editor makes decisions about length of cutsm which shots should follow each other, and the overall look of the video.
6. When considering pace in a video what must be considered? Give four points on how you know when to edit with a slow pace and four points for a fast pace.
7. When editing as you shoot, there are many points to remember. Name at least 3 of these pointers and explain why each of them is important to remember.
