Using Final Cut Express

We have been using Final Cut Express to edit our opening sequence. Although we did not know how to use this program, we worked it out. Very few minor problems have occurred and luckily they have been solved pretty easily.

My Role in Sound

Ella and I both decided upon sound together during a group meeting. We used garage band to collect and create the sounds we would be using in our opening sequence. We have got all of the sound that we need and will put all of the sound into our opening sequence once the opening sequence is completed.

Making of a Production Details

We have started to produce a production identification for 'Fame Pictures'. It took us a while to learn how to use Adobe Flash, however once we knew what we were doing it did not take long to get started. We have started to produce a bouncing ball on a background. I think that we are doing well however I am not sure whether we will use this as our final production ident because it is not very original, but it have given us good practice into using Adobe Flash.

My Role in Editing

I think that I am quite good on computers and work well on programs and if I do not know how to use a program I can learn quite quickly. I think this will help us during the editing of our opening sequence because neither of us are very familiar with any of the programs that we are going to need to use. Me and Ella have agreed to do all of the editing together, therefore we can make joint decisions on all editing cuts, sound etc. That means that we will both have an equal role in editing because we both want to make our opening sequence well and to the highest standard possible.

My Role in Organisation.

I have produced 2 checklists for Ella and I. One of the checklist contains everything we need to post on our group blog. The second checklist contains everything we need to post on our individual blogs. This allows us to know what we have done so far, and what still needs to be done. We have also planned group meetings together and arranged what the subject of the meetings will be.
