Problems...again

The effects I want and need to use on my video are not working which is causing me to get a little behind. We are 40 minutes into the lesson and I haven't done any of my video so far this lesson as I am spending my time faffing about trying to get the crop effect to work. This is really frustrating as it has worked for other students but for some reason now isn't working for me. I am going to have to either get on with another part of my video which I do not want to do as I'd like to do it chronologically or get on with my digi pack. Although it will not solve the problem so my best bet it so scrao the shots and effects I want to use and find something else.

Another Email

I have sent an email back to Universal Records about where my video may be used/uploaded.

Thank you for your reply. I would like to seek further clarification as there is a chance the video I make will need to be submitted via an online blog. However, in the past the videos have not loaded successfully onto the blogs so we may not use this platform. Again rest assured that the blog is only used for academic purposes although it is available in the domain.

Hi Megan,

You do not need permission to use any songs if they are only being screened privately in a classroom. If you are going to post the video online or screen at a festival, you will need clearance and sync rights. Hope that helps!

Problems

I have noticed in my video that one of my clips is a lot smaller than the others. It cuts from a full screen clip to a much smaller clip. I do not yet know if this will effect my grades but I am leaving the clip in for now until I have finished the rest of my video then I can look at my video and decide if it effects it much. This is hugely frustrating as it is not my doing that has caused this error as the clips for this section are off the same camera and have been converted in exactly the same way etc.

Video Progress

Progress

I am currently putting together a powerpoint presentatio on my progress on my video. It will be uploaded later today.

Images

I was having problems with my blog Tuesday and Wednesday so was unable to update my progress.

Tuesday evening I took some pictures of bath water to  try and create a plain yet effective image that i could use on the back of my digi pack. I tried colours and felt that they still didn't tie in with the front cover. I added a sepia effect to the image to try and make it similar to the colours on the front cover image which I think has worked. I am now going to put the image onto my page with the text and front cover and see how they work together.
