organising our footage

 This blog post consist of how we organize our footage after shooting.

The apps we used to edit are : 

 

We use Capcut to edit our video and uses Canva to edit our font and typeface . We chose to use Capcut to edit our intro , because Capcut have a lot of feature such as many choices of effects that we could use and  we could acces easily and the app are mostly free , so it is the best option for us , and we could acces capcut easily . 

we used this app as a way to control the drone and transfer footage from our drone. A problem I encounter was due to connection issues controlling the drone would be hard as there was a noticable delay which made it hard to do micro adjustments and keep the drone in a good position. To solve this problem I had 2 solutions: A I would get a controller and be able to use DJI’s proprietary wireless solution instead of wifi from my phone to the drone but that would include buying more expensive equipment. So instead I trusted the drones ability to fly and track targets autonimously but this meant I had no control over the drones actions. Aswell during the transfer of the footage the drone would often disconnect from the phone which meant it had to be reconnected to continue the download, again the only solution to this was to get a remote as it could transfer faster and would be in the form of an SD.

ONLINE

Google drive: 

Google drive is very useful to store videos as it keeps the resolution of the video the same unlike other apps which might reduce the quality of the video , this helps us to organise which clips do we use and which typeface and fonts we use we put it in the google drive , however the time needed to upload the video into the drive is a lot , which makes it longer to share videos through the files , our solution is to use other device first so that we could use time as effective as possible

whatsapp : 

Whatsapp really helps us communicate long distance , also we are used to using this app which makes us easier to communicate with each other , also this app has a call feature which helps us communicate through call so that we can have better communication between each member of the group , however when sending videos or photos through whatsapp the quality of the video or photo would be bad , so we use google drive to share the videos and other important things related to our project .

Also most of the footage is in maha's phone , because we use his phone to record and edit the video so most of the footage is on his phone.

reflection : These apps helps us a lot on doing the opening scene , because it helps us to edit and transfer video through one another , and this helps us communicate to send feedback and ideas for the opening scene .
