Film-making tutorial with Franziska Bahrle
Franzi is teaching me to improve the efficiency with which I go through the standard sequence - filming (best recording setting for the camera) - loading what I've recorded into my computers film-making software (Final Cut Pro + advice on the detail of that software) - compressing the film in readiness for streaming on the web (choice of codec, frame rate, interlace or not to interlace, etc - the stuff with which I struggle) - transfer of compressed film to converter (MPEG Streamclip). This is all about technical quality, not the quality of my filming. It's like being taught about ink, pens and paper when you want to write well. But I'm continuing tutorials with Franziska who is a video journalist, and a talented film-maker, to learn more about the art.
Here's an example of a test film she made using my camera, software and laptop. There's no sound: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWSJVOwqyII
One of the next things I'll be learning is how to do sound transitions to match image transitions. Until now I have just made my transitions with film and sound locked.
