In class, I have heard my teacher tell stories of students of previous years have all their footage taken, but then have it all deleted. This caused the students to have to rush filming again and getting a worse grade. I did not want this to happen to me. I wanted to create a place other than my phone or flash drive where I could save all my footage onto. I needed a storage area where I could put the footage from my phone, from Sean's phone, and the GoPro all into one place where I could easily access it for when I wanted to edit. This is where Google Drive came in.
Sean created a Google Drive folder where he put all of the shots that he got from his phone onto. I then transferred all of my phones shots into the Google Drive folder as well. This will ensure that I have multiple places that have the saved footage, meaning there is almost no possible way that I could lose my footage. Google Drive also has a feature that makes accessing the files and certain shot that I want easier. The image below shows that the files can be viewed in such a way that only shows the name of the file and it's information. I can't see what the file entails unless I open it up. This would make the editing process much harder as I would not be able to see each type of shot.
However, I can switch the format of Google Drive to make each file look like an image. This will help me so much when I go to edit because I will be able to see each shot easily. This will prevent me from having to open every single file to search for the shot that I want to put into the film opening. There are already over 65 files, and I'm not even done filming yet.
I still have to ask my teacher for a tri-pod and film the shot that are inside my house. I also have to film before the sun sets, preferably at 4:00 PM, and I also have to film after the sun sets so probably around 7:00 PM. The reason I want to film at two different times is because I need to get the footage for the scenes before biking to the park, which should have more natural light as it will be before those scenes. I also need to have a shot of me in the "hospital." This will be way after I crash, so it would only make sense if I make this scene late at night, AKA when the sun goes down and it gets dark. I cannot film today since I have a dentist appointment right after schools, and I have a track practice right after my dentist appointment. So I will finish filming tomorrow. When I finish filming tomorrow, I will be able to edit over the weekend and hopefully finish the film opening. I will still need to make some revisions to the video and ask a couple of peers about what they think. I also need to think about the music in the film and the font of the title. There's also the topic of Foley sound. There's still so much to do, but I'll find a way to get it done. I'm still technically on schedule. Well, until next time. See ya!
