    The first short film I ever produced and directed was titled Rapture of The Church. I did not have any actual video editing software then; I had no way of editing the mini DV footage in post-production. To overcome this, I storyboarded the script and shot the scenes in sequence and in one-take. The resulting footage was a success and my short film received positive…

    Postproduction is the final step in the production process and it can have multiple purposes. The producer must supervise the editing process to make sure it is in the guidelines, look, budget, and on time. I know this is crucial because if it is off time, then it messes it up. There must be continuity in the postproduction. If it is a live production there will be little postproduction work, but things will need to be handled before the broadcast. There will need to be feedback so that information can be learned and further production will be improved. A digital video log sheet can help you know what scenes you have to put together. There are some editing guidelines that are essential for the postproduction…

    Film and digital capture are completely different media. They might be used for similar purposes, but they themselves are completely unrelated to each other. Both film and digital have their strengths and weaknesses but the digital’s strengths seem to outweigh the strengths of film in more ways than one, which makes it the future of the film industry. Digital cameras definitely set the bar high for the industry and it would be exciting to see where it goes.…

    In general, the filming was fun and entertaining, most of the retakes occurred because of wrong lines, or in the “picking up girls” scene, because of giggling. Me and Sathvik had the more major roles in the video, with Sathvik having the most and appearing on every scene, but I feel as though no one was left out at least in that aspect. When all the scenes were filmed I told Atul to send me all the files, so I could get started on them when I got home right away. I had some complications since Atul didn’t send me all the files I needed, and he would also refuse to send the raw video files, but used a link instead, which lowered the video quality and made it harder to download to my computer. After finally getting those things sorted out I got to work putting the clips together and editing intros, transitions, music, sound effects, etc. I used a program called Hitfilm Express 2017 which I had used on other projects before, the program is free, professional, and most importantly, easy to use. I got a very strong rough…

    GoPro CineForm Studio is divided into two main areas that define a two-step workflow. The first step is to ʻImportʼ your footage and ʻConvertʼ it to a GoPro CineForm file or GoPro CineForm 3D file. The GoPro CineForm file can be adjusted for color and framing in the ʻEditʼ section in Step 2. The adjustments made inside the Edit area of the software are created as “metadata” and saved along with the media file. No actual changes are made to the file and anything you do can be revised, or completely reversed at any time. These nondestructive changes are a feature unique to the GoPro CineForm file type. By converting your footage to GoPro CineForm files, and keeping them in that state while you use your favorite video editing program to cut them together while you make color and framing (and 3D alignment) changes in GoPro CineForm Studio, you keep your options open until the very end of your project. Once your clip is ready, or youʼve edited your GoPro CineForm footage in your video editing software and exported a…
