Software applications
The software application is the editing software that I had used to edit
you project on. It is a digital source where it is usually placed on a computer
or laptop of where you can get access to it. It is software where you cut and
stitch digital video together.
The software applications that I had used for the post productions stage
of the ultra-short film was Final cut X version 10.2.3 it is an advance
editing programme that is only found on an apple platform, for example the
I-Mac, MacBook pro or air.
The effect that I had when using this application is that it was an
advances editing software what this program allowed me to do is more technical
edits such as, colour correct, colour grading and sound mixing, these elements
had allowed me to editing my ultra-short film to a high film slandered for
my audience to view later in the final cut.
Hardware (Non Linear)
Hard ware is the physically elements
that you had used to edit your project. What this could count as is a laptop,
net book or a computer. It is hardware where you could get easy access to the
editing software application.
The hardware that we had used to edit
that ultra short film on was the I-Mac. It is an apple product which
allowed us to run our software applications without any problems. We had this
hardware because it was the only hardware which allowed final cut x to be
accessible on it.
The reasoning of why we had used the I-Mac for our hardware was that the
editing software that we had was final cut x and only ran on apple computer. We
had also used this because it was a fast hardware which ran the interface of
the software clearly. The IMac was all in one built which allowed me to access
the SD cards ports easily.
High Definition/Stranded definition
High definition and slandered definition is the
quality of what you have filmed and edited you video at. It is also the frame
that you have also filmed at that could affect the quality of you video. Film
is usually filmed at 25 fps with a 1080p quality.
I had filmed the footage at a high definition frame ate i had filmed the ultra-short film at 1080HD at 25 frames per second, as this is the standard HD film rate that the film should be filmed and edited at. I had made the editing software setting at 1080p at 25fps to match the recorded quality and not to lose out on quality.
The reasoning of why we had filmed and rendered the video at High
definitions is that I wanted to get the best quality out of the final video
file. I also wanted the audience to watch the ultra-short film at its best
viewing quality.
Tapes
Tapes are the storage of where we had recorded the
footage on. What this tape could be is tape, film reel, SSD or a SD card. This
is where the camera footage is placed a then is placed into the hardware and
transferred to.
What I had used as tapes where SD cards as this was the only sources of tapes that were accessible for the camera and also this was easy to upload the takes onto the I Mac because it has a SD cards slot to transfer the footage to the local hard drive.
The reasoning of why we had SD cards to place to footage on was that it was the
only tape that was able to be placed into the camera to record the footage on. Why
we had used SD cards was it allowed us to place the footage onto a tapes that
was easy to access.
Hard disc
The hard disc is where the footage was imported to
and where it was stored and placed. It is an internal hard dive that is placed
in the hardware that you are using to editing you film project on. It is a
drive that could be 250GB to 2TB hard drive.
The hard disc that the footage was placed at the local hard drive on the IMac. It is where we had uploaded the footage from the tapes into the local hard drive. By doing this it allowed us to place the footage on a file that was easy to access when editing the file and this allowed us to place a large amount of footage onto the file
The reasoning of why we use hard disc is that it allows us to upload the
footage into a placed that was easy to access when editing. The effect of
uploaded to a hard disc is that it is internal placed on the I Mac which makes
it reliable, because the hard drive is internal.
Data Transfer rates
The data transfer rate, is the speed that the tapes
transfer all of the recorded footage onto the hard disc on the hardware. It's
the rate the video is uploaded at and the duration it takes to upload all of
the footage onto the software ware it will be edited at.
In this case the data transfer rates were coming from the SD cards. The rate that the SD cards were transferred at was 80mb/s. What this mean is every 80mb of footage it would take one second to transfer into the I Mac.
The effect that this process has is it allowed the upload of footage to be
faster. Before it use to take 1 second for every one second of footage , which
meant it would cost a lot of time, but due to the technology development it has
allowed us to transfer the footage faster onto the I Macs and has allowed us to
spend more time to edit the project.
Exporting Productions
Exporting Productions is the end step
that you do when you have complete the final cut of the project. This is where
you render the project into one file.
What I had done is that I had rendered the final cut of the ultra-short
film to 1080pHD of 25fps. This process took 3min. This was a quick and easy
process where it made the file be condensed down into a smaller file for other
to load the video up easy without any buffering
The effect that this process is that
it is the final step when you have completed the project is a step that allows
you to distribute your film that you have complete it is to create one file
where you can view on multiple devices.
File types, eg mov, avi, flv:
File type is the file that the final video project
was rendered. And what the platform the videos could be viewed at. Some of the
file type example includes mov, avi, flv and mp4. It is the file of where the
project will be compressed at and the file would be labelled at.
The file type that I had rendered the video at was
MOV. The reasoning for this was that the hardware that I was working on was an
I Mac and the default video file type is MOV on quick time, which made the
video easy to view on the I-Mac.
The effect that I have on choosing this file type
is that it may be harder to view on other platforms for example a window
computer may not support the MOV file which may lead to downloading a different
video viewer. Some of the other file type may be expensive to view such as the
flv file as you will need Adobe flash software which needs to be purchased.
Compression
Compression is a process of where the file that you
have been working on in the editing software is condensed down into a small
file. The stage that this process is done at is at the final stage of rendering
the file project into one file.
I had compressed the file twice; the first stage
was at the rendering stage where I had compressed the 20GB file into a 350MB
mov file. Then it was compressed at the stage of the uploading the video at the
process stage, where it made the video size smaller size.
How this process my effect my video is by
compressing the size of the video, it will lead to losing out quality of the
video when rendering the video and by the compression process on YouTube this
will also reduce the quality of sound and video. This is a good effect where it
is quicker to load up the video because it has a smaller file to load.
