Film 7 (extract from workbook)

7/11/07: I have finished the ordering and editing of the stills which was unbelievably simple to achieve, now all I have to do is add some visual trnasitions and effects which also seems to happen at the press of a button. I have now decided (after thinking about it all damn night and after trying both out at 4am) which song I am going to use. In the end it came down to which one sparked my own emotive response. In doing this I have realised that I want to use the Marilyn Manson because whilst watching it with the film I had a flood of emotion that I didnt know I felt about my attack. It wasnt sadness or self pity, but anger and the want to prove a point. Im not sure if this is a good thing or not but with it producing this response I want to use it. After watching the film I had a sudden drive to produce more work. I ended up using this to update my blog and start creating the digital presspack.
11/11/07: I have found a problem within my film, I cant actually work out how to save it so it can be viewed within quicktime. I also have to work out how to compress the fille so it can be uploaded to something like youtube. Using film is confusing and quite complicated. It doesnt help that Im not particularly confident within the media of film. I think Im going to need some help with making it play in quicktime, as nothing I am doing seems to be making a difference.
12/11/07: Hurrah I have managed to work out how to save my film as a quicktime film by using the help button within the iMovie programme. All I had to do was simply go to FILE-EXPORT-SAVE AS-QUICKTIME- then choose the type of compressed file I wanted to save it as. It was easy to do. After saving it as both a high resolution film and a film for web, I have uploaded it to youtube and created a link on my blog page to the youtube viewing of my film. I am extremely happy to have this part of my project finished with as it was the part I was most anxious about.
