Today’s Plan:
- Work List #5: Editing Go West Film Festival Footage
This week we are going to start working concurrently on two projects. Today we will start editing footage from last year’s film festival. As that project wraps up, everyone will develop a potential opening credits sequence for our clips. As you are working on the former, identify good shots / b-roll that might appear in the latter.
Editing Go West Film Festival Footage
I have footage from several different speakers:
- Tuesday, Nov 8th 2022, Rodney Sauer, Chaplan’s The Gold Rush, 1925
- Friday, Nov 11th 2022, Creative Producer Felicitas Funke, Cowboys, 2019
- Saturday, Nov 12th 2022, Director Gaston Davis, Cowboys without Borders, 2020
- Saturday, Nov 12th 2022, Writer, Director, Actor Ross Denyer, Tell No Tales, 2019
- Short Interview with Dr. David Caldwell, Co-President of the Go West Film Festival. Interview on Friday Nov 11th 2022.
Here’s a link to the folder with the general assets.
Today’s Plan:
- Watch the “completed” clips from 2022 together
- Go over the list of collective assets
- Brainstorm a list of things we should / need to do. We want to create branding across clips
- Form Teams and Distribute Assignments
- ON FRIDAY: We will import the clips into a Premiere project [NOTE: computers don’t get wiped regularly]. I will show you how to stabilize clips, how to zoom and crop a clip, [what else comes up in the brainstorm that you need/want to know how to do?]
Homework
Watch and rename clips. Identify segments to include in final videos. Upcoming work: make an 8 second introductory sequence.
