trying to re-adjust the image size

I have been trying to work out ways in which i can make all my footage the same image size as when i was shooting i accidentally shot one of my shoots in DV instead of HDV. I imported my edit into a new project in Pal DV to see if i could scale the HDV image size down however this didnt not work.I then had to re-size every clip to the same size as you can see below this worked i however then had to scale every frame as the images were to close.

Feedback from client - draft1

My second meeting with my client to show him my first full draft, apart from the issues i am still having with frame size he said that he prefered the opening sequences and was glad i took on board the feedback he gave me last time. He said he liked the feel that the promotional video gave and thought that it would attract younger members. He said that towards the end the shots need to become shorter and sharper so the same exciting feeling that is given off at the beginning is repeated at the end. He also didn't like the graphics that i used to display the interviewees names so this is i will have to change.

First edit

Artefact 3

For my third artefact i tested out the methods i had reserached into following my other 2 artefacts. I concentrated on 4 individuals and tested edited videos out on them to see how they reacted. I filmed four individuals and then edited the videos in four different ways to see how the pupils reacted. The ways were:

•Edited clips for self – annotation
•Edited clips with on screen annotation
•Edited clips with teachers comments
•Edited clips with slowed down/ zoomed in footage

What i found out ?

My results showed me that 3 of the dancers preffered the slowed down edit, 1 person preffered the on-screen annotation and the rest recieved zero votes.

The feedback i recieved was mainly positive as pupils said it was helpful to see the footage slowed down so that they can switch there concentration to watching the video rather than concentrating on the steps, and finally concluded that they felt if all the methods used in the videos were put together it would be much more beneficial.

Feedback from client

I went into hoofers to show the work i had done so far, it was only an opening sequence but i got some useful feedback from it :
- He thought it needed to be faster paced like it was shown in my storyboards, having sharper movements at the start


I also think that from this edit, i should only use the split screen of 4 as a split screen of 2 looks a little poor.

First draft- Opening

Filming day 2

Today i went to hoofers to shoot the exercise i classes. I filmed :
- A spinning class
- Abs, abs, abs
- Cardio workout

I got some really nice shots from these, especially some nice close up shots. The problem i had with this was that the class i was filming weren't actors so although i asked them to make it look fun most of them made it look like really hard work. I think in order to cancel this out i will take some shots with my actress of her smiling/having fun so it doesnt all look like such hard work.

Filming Day 1

Today was the first day of filming for my promotional video for Hoofers health club. I mainly took shots around the gym and swimming pool as well as working with my male actor. Things ran pretty smoothly and i got some good shots from it, however i personally feel that my best shots will come from the exercise classes as more people and action will be involved.
