Editing Open Art

Yesterday I started editing all of the footage from the Open Art Evening at the Shire Hall Gallery.
I went through all the footage selecting the best shots, I then synced all of the audio to match the best shots with the best sound.
I then edited more of the earlier footage I had collected, trimming down clips and in some cases removing clips completely to make room for more important footage from the Evening exhibition.
This morning I have picked up where I left off last night, chopping up the footage of the presenting side of the open art evening, and adding some cut away shots.
I am now going to spend the afternoon editing the winners interviews.

Open Art

Last night was the final night of filming for the open art exhibition at The Shire Hall Gallery in Stafford.
we collected shots of the art as well as interviews with the winning artists and covered the presentation from start to finish.
This morning i have been going over the footage collected last night and have also been editing clips that i had collected previously to fit around the new footage.
I have also sped up a few clips of the hanging process of the art to give a time lapse from and empty wall to a wall full of art. Something that i think works very well.
Music has also now been added to accompany the footage. The artist that has done the music for me followed my instruction and has come up with a very fitting short piece.

Filming Drama

Yesterday i filmed the last scene for my drama.
Filming was a success as i got all the footage i needed quickly and efficiently.
I used my Gopro camera again for Point of view shots something that it is perfect for.
i also played about with pulling focus during shots, this is something that i have been cautious of doing before as i have been worried of messing it up but after a couple of attempts i succeeded with the shot which i am very pleased about.
since then i have edited all the footage together. i had a few minor issues with sound which i sorted through splicing together bits of sound from other clips. i then colour corrected the entire project, some shots were very dark but through some minor adjustments the problem was sorted.
