Editing, Logging and Capturing

Today, as part of a normal group production meeting, we started the editing of our existing footage in our editing suite using Final Cut Pro. We recovered our Mini DV Tape, and were given another tape to keep in case we cannot recover the original Mini DV Tape in future circumstances, for intance next week when we are planning to complete our pop promo by filming the handheld shots to be used in the flashbacks with the "Super 8mm" aged-film effect.

Also today, after recovering our Tape (recording medium) we captured and logged the shots which we had managed to film before the Christmas holiday period. We logged and captured these shots so that we could use them in the editing of existing footage.

For the shots in the flashbacks where we anticipate using an aged film effect (Super 8mm effect), we were planning on filming with the camera but handheld, to give these shots more of a personal feel, and these shots will be the point-of-view from the character which I am playing.
