Brentford CLC
On two occasions so far we have visited Brentford CLC to use there facilities to aid our media work.
They have Apple Mac computers, which have excellent software for creating and editing videos.
The first week we went there we learnt the basics, how to play around with the different video effects and just got a general feel for it.
The next week, after having shot our ''Busted'' music video, we took what we had filmed to Brentford and put it together on the macs. We had not fully recorded everything, so therefore put together what we had recorded so far, and learnt how to use IMovie with the help of an assistant at Brentford. I learnt how to edit clips and shorten them, and get them in sync with the music so that our mouthes were moving in time with the singers voices.
The next time we went to Brentford, we went with the finished clips, and incorporated them into what we had done the previous time. I successfully managed to finish the video and had the privelidge of having it put up on YouTube.
Here is the link to our remake of Busteds ''What I Go To School For'' edited by myself.
