Garage Band Sound Editing - Typing (Harrison + Isaac)

Today Isaac and I have exported the movie to garageband to edit in some foley sounds. In this post we are showing how we cut up a clip we got from garageband to make it look like our title clip that reads "Transaction." has an individual clip for each letter to make it look like it is being typed.

To do this we had to take one clip and cut each click and time it correctly to make it look like it was being typed.

Here is the screenshot of what we did and as you can see a lot of clicks and specific placing was involved.

We are now going to carry on with the movie and try to complete the final piece.

Idea for Email scene.

This was an idea I had that could be used for the email scene. Scrapped it though because it wouldn't have fit in with the film.

Blog Layout

As I was unwell today and couldn't make it to college to edit the final production I decided that the blog needed a bit of an overhaul as it wasn't very attractive, I wanted to make it simple and pleasing.

For starters, here is what it looked like at first:

Very bland and boring! Also the margins of the columns was off meaning that the pictures were going over the borders into the other columns making it look messy, I decided to clean that up, change the colour scheme, add a personalised header and make the Twitter feed work.

It now looks like this:

Which in my opinion looks a lot nicer and as it is personalised to us suits it a lot more. Also the Twitter feed is now working and there is a blog archive making it easier to navigate our work.

I made the header in Photoshop and found the 3 logos (Facebook, Twitter and YouTube) online which were very handy and make it look a lot nicer.

The one problem I faced was trying to add links to the header, there is not a specific part on blogger where you can do so, so I visited a website called image mapper which enabled me to map the image and generate an HTML code which I then pasted into a new widget on Blogger which then produced the image as a header with the hyper links over the places I selected but it was off centre and raised a bit which didn't look right, I was able to centre it but I wasn't able to lower it so I have just resulted in using the first one with out the links for the time being and adding a new page with all our links.

Decision - Harrison James Isaac

Editing update.

This is how far we have come with our editing. At this point in time we have faced a few hiccups which we are going to talk about in a post tomorrow which will contain a video of us talking about editing.

The movie itself is coming on very well, we still have a bit to do but we are happy with how it's currently looking.

We have are currently implementing the technique of cross cutting, and we still have a 180 degree rule to put in. We have also used a fade transition to show the change in time and have also used a few match on actions which shows good continuity within the film.

Overall, production is going well and we are happy with how things are going.
