My First Time Filming and Editing

My First Time Filming and Editing

When I filmed for the first time, I felt like a fish out of water as I didn't know how to use the camera properly. The first thing my group and I did was film different shots however we didn't want to remove the camera from the tripod in fear of breaking the equipment. I noticed that when I filmed, I would watch the live action rather than watching it through the camera, making sure I got everything into the shot.


Editing for the first time was exciting but quite hard to wrap my head around as there are loads of different functions and features that are available. We decided to use Serif Movie Plus X 6. We used this to cut each shot to our desired length and made sure that each shot flowed smoothly into one another therefore keeping the editing continuous however because it was my first time using this software, the editing didn't turn out as I would have liked. Having the opportunity to try this software out means that I can now familiarize myself with the different available functions.
