Production: Organising our footage

This is how we organised our footage between the drone shots and camera shoots. We used whatsapp to preview and send clips and communicated and google drive to save videos in high quality. This blogpost was made by CANDRA

organising our footage

The apps we used to edit are : 

 

We use Capcut to edit our video and uses Canva to edit our font and typeface . We chose to use Capcut to edit our intro , because Capcut have a lot of feature such as many choices of effects that we could use and  we could acces easily and the app are mostly free , so it is the best option for us , and we could acces capcut easily . 

we used this app as a way to control the drone and transfer footage from our drone. A problem I encounter was due to connection issues controlling the drone would be hard as there was a noticable delay which made it hard to do micro adjustments and keep the drone in a good position. To solve this problem I had 2 solutions: A I would get a controller and be able to use DJI’s proprietary wireless solution instead of wifi from my phone to the drone but that would include buying more expensive equipment. So instead I trusted the drones ability to fly and track targets autonimously but this meant I had no control over the drones actions. Aswell during the transfer of the footage the drone would often disconnect from the phone which meant it had to be reconnected to continue the download, again the only solution to this was to get a remote as it could transfer faster and would be in the form of an SD.

ONLINE

Google drive: 

Google drive is very useful to store videos as it keeps the resolution of the video the same unlike other apps which might reduce the quality of the video , this helps us to organise which clips do we use and which typeface and fonts we use we put it in the google drive , however the time needed to upload the video into the drive is a lot , which makes it longer to share videos through the files , our solution is to use other device first so that we could use time as effective as possible

whatsapp : 

Whatsapp really helps us communicate long distance , also we are used to using this app which makes us easier to communicate with each other , also this app has a call feature which helps us communicate through call so that we can have better communication between each member of the group , however when sending videos or photos through whatsapp the quality of the video or photo would be bad , so we use google drive to share the videos and other important things related to our project .

Aswell a majority of our footage was in Maha's phone as it was him who recorded everything and editted everything.

Reflection: 

Our footage organisation was on point all our footage was nicely put into google drive links which we shared on whatsapp. This made it very easy to share lossless footage from one device to another especially with my drone to Maha the edtor's phone. This was also very important in our whole process as it meant all our data wouldn't be lost and easily acesssed and also made it easy to pick and choose between takes.
