LAPTOPS
There you should be none of your files on your desktop - at all. There might be some shared resources, but apart from that your desktop must be CLEAR! Both classes will be told this so don't take it upon yourself to tidy up the files that belong to your Mac buddy.
DIGITAL FOLDERS
- By this I mean your folders on your Mac books. How organised is your work?
You should have a Project 1 folder which should be VERY ORGANISED. ALL the footage must be inappropriate folders with appropriate labels. You should also have folders for documents, assets for effects and documentation.
KEY THING TO REMEMBER IS THAT ONCE YOU START MOVING AND RENAMING FOOTAGE BOTH PREMIERE AND AFTER EFFECTS WON'T BE ABLE TO FIND IT - SO ONLY DO THIS TIDY AFTER YOU'VE FINISHED AND EXPORTED THE FINAL VERSION.
- You will also have a lot of files on the Mac of activities we did when learning After Effects and Premiere - TIDY THESE UP - even if it's just into two files, one called Premiere - the other After Effects.
PROJECT FOLDERS
These are the paper ones. Are these organised? Is every document in a plastic sleeve? Do you need new ring binders? Is it presentable for marking and moderation?
METADATA
All your footage must be labelled correctly and you must have a screenshot of your project window in PREMIERE proving this. Put this screenshot on your blog and explain your labelling system.
BOOKING FORMS
Do you have a signed (by Nick or Dave) A/V Booking form for every time you took a camera out?
WORK BOOKS
Have you an entry for every lesson you have worked on this project since the 13th of January outlining what you intended to do that lesson and what you managed to achieve?
WORK SCHEDULE
On the week planner have you updated when you were filming and when you were editing? This is a working document so feel free to create different versions and have a lot of amendments.
AFTER EFFECTS
Take a screenshot of your final AE projects for each of you effects - post this onto your blog and write underneath the process your took to create the effect - THIS IS IMPORTANT AS IT MEANS YOU CAN REPEAT THE PROCESS IF NECESSARY OR REFINE IT.
SHOT LOG SHEETS
Have you been filling in the log sheets recording your footage every time you've been filming? Once you import your footage organise it and label and log the time-codes into the tables - (work in a group to complete this task).THIS MUST BE DONE - IT'S PART OF THE PASS CRITERIA FOR THE UNIT.
Have you changed your script or your sequence? Has this been reflected in your documentation.
Sketch out new storyboard frames for new shot compositions and additions to your footage.
Update your script, add edits to your digital original and print out the new PAGE (not the whole document).
WE WILL BE CHECKING ALL OF THESE SO THEY HAVE TO BE DONE - SO DO THEM NOW AND GET THEM OUT THE WAY.
