Transferring footage from camera to PC

The Development work that I covered during the lesson:

During this lesson I uploaded my film from the camera onto the Computer. The downloading of the film was actually a very quick process. I found this part of the task extremely easy, this is because it only involved plugging a USB into the camera and computer and then finding the folder the film was stored in and then dragging and dropping the files wanted into another named folder on my H Drive. In total there was 7 files that i had to transfer from the recording device onto the computer.

However, during this process I did encounter a few problems. Firstly, when accessing the files stored on the camera, there was already multiple files stored on the camera because it had been used previously by other students, this made it very difficult for me to locate where my film was stored. Also whilst uploading my film I encountered a problem with storing my work onto the computer, this is because my H Drive only has a limited amount of space which was already nearly full up, which meant that i had problems uploading the files because they were large files, this meant that I had to delete some files stored on the computer in order to provide space for the new files.

How this development fitted in with the Client Brief:

This development fitted in with the client brief very well, this is because the client brief stated that I had to produce at least 4 scenes which were atleast 10 seconds long, each of the scenes that I filmed were way over 10 seconds long which meant I had met a requirement in the client brief.

Filming

The Development work I have covered during the lesson

During this lesson I started and finished the product of the film. I found the actual filming very hard to produce, this is because I have never used a camera to make a film before this task, this made it difficult for me to use all of the correct camera angles and to make the hand held camera shots steady and not jumpy and blurry. I had problems starting my film because the actors that i planned to use in the film were absent from college on separate days which made it hard to get the whole group together. During the lesson I also learnt how to use the zoom button on the camera, this allowed me to get a much better view of objects on my camera, such as the E Block sign at the beginning of the film.

How did it fit in with the Client Brief

The film that I produced fits in with the client brief very well. This is because each of the scenes in the film were at least 10 seconds long, which is a requirement in the client brief. Also in my film there was more than 4 scenes, which was also a requirement in the client brief.
I encountered many problems whilst filming. Firstly, I found it very hard to separate each of the scenes in my film whilst filming, this is because each of my scenes flowed into each other which made it appear like there was only a couple of scenes in the film, however it is actually made up of several scenes just they flow into each other.
