Editing&Final Cut Pro

At this lesson we have been introduce to Editing &Final Cut Pro here are some notes on using Final Cut Pro.
The first thing we need to do is set up the scratch disk this is very important. The Scratch Disk is where the computer takes notes on what you’re doing.
Than we go to Final Cut Pro

Here is the horror post I made by photoshop it was quite excisting as this is only my second time using photoshop!
I learnt how to put special effects on the text and to zoom in the original poster. I should improve myself by learning more techniques as I am still quite weak in this area.

Practical lesson 15/9/08 using FUJI FINEPIX S900 DIGITAL CAMERA

We had a practial lesson using digital camera. And I worked with Poppy as a team. We learned different shots ie.



CU=CLOSE UP



MS=MIDDLE SHOT



LS=LONGSHOT



Here is a photo we did





Close up with high angle and there is a looking space of her looking at the left hand side



There is another high angle shot. Which gives a weak feeling.




We also learned to look at the control wheel:
A=Aperture
Which is the cameras eye. It is like a pinhole letting in light. Also, turning the wheel will change the shutter speed.

For example:
If you were taking a picture of the moon at night, you would need to let lots of light in-(Aperture). But would also have to take the picture with a fast shutter speed, to avoid blurring the image.

My name is Ariana I wish to study Fashion management in the future. To study Media I wish to improve my IT skill and expand my horizon.
