Timelapse photography- Final shoot
As one of my units is image manipulation I wanted to experiment with moving image. I decided to create a time-lapse of my final shoot. I set up a GoPro camera to take photographs at regular images and used a combination of the GoPro editing software and iMovie. Below is my finished time-lapse piece.
I have included screenshots of the process to document how I edited the footage together to produce the final video.
Step 1.Open GoPro editor and import new files
Step 2. Add files to conversion list
Step 3. Convert files
Step 4. Edit clips- trim, change colour balance, add colour filters
Step 5. Export file to edit in more advanced software
Step 6. Launch editing software
Step 7. Import footage
Step 8. Drag footage onto timeline
Step 9. Select audio (optional)
Step 10. Add audio to timeline
Step 11. Add title and ending
Step 11. Export final video when you.re finished
Step 12. Save final video
After importing the files into the GoPro editor I decided I wanted to refine and customise the footage further. I split some of the frames in order to cut out some unwanted shots. To help add some context to the video I also added audio in the form of forest sounds. To finish off I added an end title including my name.
I really enjoyed working with moving image and it's something I want to explore and experiment with further. It is the first time I have ever done anything like this so I don't have a lot of experience but I am very pleased with the outcome.
