(The week of April 1th, 2010) This week’s class was even shorter than the last. All my group members were gone. Jordan could not make it and Jenny and Bryan were out of town. I came to class with the intention of digitizing our tape so that we could begin the tedious editing process. However, the camera was checked out to another group, so we could not do anything new with our movie this week. We had to go a second consecutive week without digitizing.
In class, Eric explained how the digitizer on the camera works. Basically, one can digitize while filming if they sync the digitizer with the camera. This sends the video from the tape straight to a hard drive. The alternative is to digitize the footage after one has finished shooting. This takes much more time and energy that the previous digitizing method. Our group did not digitize while we shot because we were shooting an action film. This required a lot of movement of the camera and having the digitizer protruding from the top of the camera made it very inconvenient for the camerawoman, Jenny.
