Work Based Learning

I have recently completed my first Work Based Learning (WBL) task. This task involved editing a number of prerecorded interviews for the Principal of Newcastle College. The interviews focused on a number of students from different courses, and asked them about why they had chosen Newcastle to study at, and what they wanted to do after their courses.

While editing there were a number of tasks that I had to complete to get a worthy product at the end. First of all I synced up audio that had been recorded on an external device when the interview was taking place, this would allow the final video to have cleaner and crisper audio than what it would have had if we had used the camera's on board microphone. Secondly I had to colour correct the footage, this was because when the interview was conducted, it was not lit correctly and therefore would look to dark. So I increased the brightness and contrast within final cut so that the image was clearer, but because of this, there was more grain on the image so I had to balance out the brightness with the grain, to achieve a good look and overall product at the end.

It was worth it when I received this feedback...
