Software issues - Resolution?

I have spoken to Brett and he said I could use the disks for his version of Final Cut Pro 7 which are at his house nearby and download it onto another mac so I will be able to export it as long as I find someone who is willing to let me use their mac computer for a short while.

BENJAMIN NEWTON

Benjamin Newton has recently bought himself a macbook and after calling around he agreed to let me use his computer to export my film and radio trailer so I will be taking the hard drive round to his house along with Brett's version of final cut pro to download onto the computer and hopefully hand my work in by the end of the week!

Evaluation - Software problem No1

I went into college today to export my radio trailer and film so I could use extracts for my evaluation however because I edited the sound levels on Bretts mac with Final Cut Pro 7 it means that the college macs cannot read the information as they do not have the latest version of Final Cut.

We tried to export it using Final Cut Express which they have the latest version of but it's not the same format so it won't work.

I could use Brett's computer to export it however he is now back in Derby which is about 130 miles from me and my college!

Evaluation - Editing Day No 3

So far things are going well, I've decided to use parts from filming day one and filming day two because when I filmed in the spare room I spoke more clearly in the first half than on filming day two but the setting looked better when I filmed outside so I have been editing parts of each into my main edit.

I have also been putting together the audience feedback with pictures of the people and what they said about my film which has proved more difficult than I first thought, Even though I've only taken quotes from what they have it still takes up a large amount of screen time to have enough time to read it

I have chosen a scrolling text to help the audience follow what they're saying as well as to add a little variety to editing my evaluation.

Evaluation - Editing day No 2

I used most of my day taking screen shots to use in my evaluation such as

Screen shots of my blog

Screen shot of my magazine article

Screen shot of my script

Screen shot of my shot list

Evaluation - Editing day No 1

Finally I have started making headway on the final piece of my project, I still need to export my film and radio trailer to a quicktime file so I can use clips in my evaluation but for the time being I have downloaded some clips from the other films I will be using in my evaluation.

I've downloaded realplayer to download all the clips I want to use in my evaluation.

These are some of the films I related to my own in my evaluation.

Two Ladies and a Hill

Gold Top

Booth story

Windows Movie Maker

Over the weekend I decided I couldn't wait any longer and so I have started the rough edit for my evaluation on Windows Media Player from home, this program is a very basic editing program and although easy to use it has a lot of issues that Final Cut Pro doesn't but I cant afford to waste anymore time.

Hard Ware Problem No 2

I borrowed the hard drive that contains my film and have taken it home to put the files for my evaluation on it and take it into the college to edit it but my computer will not recognize the hard drive! I have spoken to the college technicians who said it would be because I haven't got the correct drives installed but none of the information help because the files are too big to store on my memory stick and I cannot store them on the hard drive either, I am now three days behind schedule already and far behind the rest of my class I will try and find another hard drive to use but if not I will just have to edit my evaluation from home.
