Parts of the footage which I had included of the woods was extremely shaky and I hadn't really noticed it until it was point out to me. I didn't realise, but there is a setting on iMovie which can improve the stabilisation of a clip massively, by changing a certain slider in the programme. I did however find a separate clip for a particularly shaky part and it looks much better, which you will be able to see in my most recent rough cut - Recent Rough Cut
I have used the clip that I am not using anymore as a comparison device to show you how the stabilisation setting has made a difference to the shakiness of the clips: Shakiness Comparisons
The clip that I am using instead of the previous piece of footage which is terribly shaky, is slightly out of focus which isn't a massive problem; however I have noticed it. This is what I mean:
The first screenshot that I have shown above dips in and out of focus; however it doesn't last for long, making me think that it isn't too much of an issue, however I will speak to my teacher tomorrow to get his opinion on the clip. It is, however much better than the previous shaky clip.
Over the next week like I mentioned in my previous blog post, I will be filming the phone scene which I have posted storyboards for and this will be shown in the middle section of the song where the lyrics sing, "this is nothing to be proud of". I had feedback on this part and it was suggested that what I have included at the moment was too slow and not pacey enough for the more upbeat change to the song, so to make this better I think the phone scene will fit well with this part. This is my rough cut so far: Most Recent Rough Cut
Like I mentioned previously, I will keep you up to date with how I get on filming the phone scene.
it might just be the way that it's renedered, but the stabilised version seems a bit jittery? I'll take a look at the latest cut this morning during the lesson and give you some verbal feedback.
