A New Group Is Starting

Hi Everyone,

We have just completed the third and final Movie Making Class.

EXCITING NEWS

In Term 4, on the 6 October, we are starting a VIDEOGRAPHERS' WORKSOP on Tuesdays between 11am and 12.30pm at the Logan North Library. This group is open to all members who have done any of the Movie Making Classes, as well as anyone interested in Videography. Like the camera club, this will be a self-help group, where we all share knowledge in video techniques, editing software and subject matter. You won't need any specific equipment or software to belong to these workshops, only a keen interest in creating great videos.

If you're interested to join this group, please let me know so that when the roll opens, contact the tutor,

Class will start editing the raw footage collected in week 2,
using Wondershare Movie Editing Software which can be down-

(SEE BELOW)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WEEK 4 - 4 August 2015 - 10.00 AM - 12.00 Noon

Finishing editing touches then we upload the finished travel
video onto the U3A Movie Making You Tube Channel
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEcv3Fbkye6lmGsQll7P-0A
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So that everyone has a chance to learn editing methods, we will use this free editing program which runs on Apple and PC laptops and MacBooks. While you can do all editing functions with the free version, if you save the production, it will display a watermark, unless you purchase a license which costs $39.90, so it's not an expensive video program.

So bring your laptops along to the class, especially in weeks 3-5.

Lesson notes of this course will be emailed to students, in DOC format, free of charge, so you can either print them out or view them on your computer

Today's Lesson

After the film shoot two weeks ago, the class got down to editing the film 'THE LAGOON" using the Wondershare Video Editor.

The class went on the film shoot on the second class lesson to capture the raw footage for their first movie making attempt.

So this morning they started the post production process using the Wondershare Video editor, which runs both on Apple Mac and PCs, suitable for class teaching.

The editing process continues at next Tuesday's lesson.

Today's Lesson

The Movie Making Class went 'on set' this morning, shooting the footage for their new film 'THE LAGOON' (the lake drowned.)

Or you cab come up Daisy Hill Road then turn left into Highview Terrace to get to No 45.

You don't need to bring a laptop for this first meeting as we won't be doing any practical work on the first day.
