In todays lesson, we continued on from the previous week and worked on our International Students Program clip. Also, previously Rob had given us some tutorials to do for the editing program Adobe After Effects CS5, so I decided to get a move on with those.
The whole lesson was based on the computer mostly, which was quite draining after a while. Overall, it was a productive lesson and I got a fair amount of work done.

Today Rob sat us all down to tell as about Sandringham's International Student Program. He told us that we were to make videos to promote what the school has to offer.
As we all dispersed to our computers, we were informed that there was already footage (filmed by another year level a few years back) on the computers for us to use. This was partially good news, but not very good news. It was good because we could just concentrate on editing, but it was bad because we weren't sure as to what, or how they filmed.
It turns out the footage wasn't that bad, but there were a couple of shots where the sound wasn't very good or clear, and also there is one interview with Denise (the program leader) that wasn't very good looking. She had brown clothing on and there was a brown background...so in other words, it clashed quite badly and didn't make the school look like a very 'attractive' building.
With us viewing all of this footage, and starting to edit, this consumed most of the lesson.

In todays lesson, I tried to spend most of my time completing the tasks I hadn't so far. This included finishing any questions (from chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 15, 17). Luckily, I had completed the majority of the questions.
Considering this, I checked what else I needed to complete to be handed up. At this point, I was very thankful that I had finished all of the theory work that we needed to do, but I still had some prac to finish.
So in that case, I went straight to my computer and got to editing my music film clip (Bohemian Rhapsody) considering I had evidently 'wasted' my time the previous week. Thankfully by the end of the lesson I managed to pull together an edit that included a background.
At the end of the lesson Rob asked us to both put all of our prac work onto a disc, and also print out our blog entries. As I was uploading my work to the disc, I decided to put both versions of my music clip onto there just incase.
By the end of the lesson I had handed up my disc with all my work and all of my journal entries. I was fairly happy with the work I had done this lesson as I left.

In today's lesson, we first looked over the questions we were assigned, corrected and discussed them as a group.
We then all went into the computer room to seperately edit our lip-syncing music videos. So as soon as I got onto my computer, I started straight away.
A tactical error I seemed to make, was that I concentrated on editing different clips from all of the takes we made, to create the music video - rather than editing the blue screen. So, in result of this misfortune (and misuse of time), by the end of the lesson I had only edited the music video with changing clips, rather than use one continuous take and change the background.
I did enjoy the lesson, but was disappointed in the end with my unfinished result.

In today's lesson, I was able to complete editing my "School Policy" video, due to me fixing my iPod settings at home.
I chose the song "Ghosts & Sticks and Bricks & Stuff", a mash-up of the band A Day to Remember and Deadmau5, which fit perfectly to what I had organised the week prior.
After I finished this, my group gathered together and started filming our music video for "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. Because all four of us (Daniel, Leif, Brooke and I) had to be in many - to almost all of the shots, Cameron had to help us film with the blue screen.
He turned out to be a very good choice to pick to help us, because he gave us some tips with the blue screen and filming techniques when using it, due to him having experience with those kind of things.
After we were done, Cameron and I previously had planned his music video out, due to the fact we both like the song he chose. Even though we had both shared ideas, Cameron also had many others, so I (along with the rest of his group) helped him film it, and he asked me to be in it alot particularly because I knew the words.
I enjoyed this lesson very much, and actually got a lot done.

In today's lesson, we all spent most of the lesson editing our "School Policy" videos.
I had some trouble finishing it due to the fact that I had to change a setting on my iPod, so I was able to upload any of the music I had on there, to the computer.
So in that case, I just did as much as I could to get as close to completing the editing process as I could.

Today was not an official lesson, due to the fact it was on a tuesday, but we had an excursion in the city at ACMI located in Melbourne Square.
I arrived at the meeting spot at about five past 9, a little later than everyone else, but only by a few minutes. No one really seemed to notice, luckily.
We all then headed into the ACMI centre, to the theatre area and took our seats. We were accompanied by a few other schools, and in those schools were some of the students whose "Top Arts" entries we were about to watch. Rob warned us of this beforehand, as to not express our opinions on the films too loudly, so we wouldn't offend anyone. Which in hindsight, was quite clever.
After we watched the films, and had small, personal discussions about them, we all got to go into the ACMI "Centre for the Moving Image" which I found exceedingly enjoyable. Considering I had never been there before, I tried to take in as much information from it as I could, and tried to have a turn at all of the gadgets and presentations they had there.
And that proceeded the ending of the excursion. All-in-all I had a very enjoyable time.
