When editing the teachers collaboration video, I didn't quite realise how much editing I would need to
do. To make this video look as sleek and professional as possible I needed to adjust lighting, sound and colour just the videos themselves. I also needed to add simple yet effective transitions so I don't keep using jump cuts, which is used in basic video editing. To allow consortium students know the names of each teacher, I have placed an iMovie overplay which p
lays for 5 seconds. This says who they are and what they teach. Another overplay I used was a PNG formatted logo of the school. To do this I took the original logo of the rose, opened it within Adobe Photoshop, selected all the white background, deleted this then saved it into a PNG. This allows the background to be clear when placing it onto the video. iMovie isn't the best application though for applying this to videos as did raise some complications. When trying to edit the PNG file on the movie, the background would turn to black. Because I am unable to use FinalCut Pro at home ( I don't own the application) I will leave this part till I can edit at school with the Macs there and watch a tutorial previously to ensure I know how to place the logo over the top. Another complication is that the overlay of the PNG image doesn't allow transitions into other videos. This means that I make the image fade in and out every time a new clip of video started. This meant for longer editing.
Things to still do, however, is to film one final teacher, edit that to the rest of the video and then apply the media logo I made a few posts ago. I will then export this and edit the logo over the top exactly where I want it. I have previously learnt that FinalCut Pro is cooperative with iMovie, so the transition from each application should work smoothly.
