4th February, Editing!

Today was our second film class, and the first thing we did was split up into two groups. Julien and Jeff went to film different sounds and to experiment with foley (during which they only really ended up using their own voices). Camille and I log and captured our footage from last class and began to edit.

I think that during this class, the IB learner profile that best fit the way I worked is as a communicator as well as as an inquirer (see below). After Jeff and Julien came back from filming, we had to agree on how we would edit the footage. This took cooperation, which did not come naturally at first, but we worked through it, and by the end of the class almost finished our work ! (A rarity for me). This was our first class working with final cut pro, and it took some getting used to. However Jeff helpfully gave us a brief tutorial on the basics of the program, and that really helped. Overall, a very informative class!

Communicators: They understand and express ideas and information confidently and creatively in more than one language and in a variety of modes of communication. They work effectively and willingly in collaboration with others.

Inquirers: They develop their natural curiosity. They acquire the skills necessary to conduct inquiry and research and show independence in learning. They actively enjoy learning and this love of learning will be sustained throughout their lives.
