Interesting note to think about! I definitely think that were this not a school atmosphere (filled mostly with seniors who are ready to get the heck out of here!) we would be going about this differently. What this seems to be turning into is me doing a solid majority of editing in its entirety. Which I’m actually okay with, I love this stuff 🙂

That seemed to do the trick, thank you for your help! With somewhat comical timing, as this problem is solved, I’ve found another! When I take pictures, everything appears to look the same after pressing the DOF preview button. When I take video, however, the exposure is not at all the same. When viewing in the monitor before the shot, it is much darker than what the shot ends up turning out. Any help on this one?

Thanks Steve!
I believe I’ve found the solution (and another problem within). After setting up your experiment, I looked back at my shots and realized the aperture was in fact affecting depth of field. Only problem is that I can’t see the actual difference in the monitor – only when reviewing the footage after it’s been taken. So this makes things a little inconvenient when trying to set up a shot. -
Sorry for the late reply! We decided to split up scenes evenly between four editors to do a rough cut, mostly to establish continuity, where I will do “finishing touches.”
Richard – it’s a really loose grade. Our video class is heavily senior-based, so our teacher decided to let us take on a hefty but fun project before we graduate. It’s pretty much whatever we make it, and as long as we put the time into it (no worries there), our grade will be just fine.

Thanks for the reply Mark! As you might imagine, the biggest priority for us to reach the deadline, so I’m just trying to think of the most time-efficient way to go about it. Ideally I’d love to go about editing this project in the most industrially professional way as possible, but at the same time, I don’t think the rest of the class will be willing to put in the time and effort required to do so.
I can definitely see how we might run into problems with differing styles. Maybe we could assign one person as the editing director to be on quality control duties to make sure each scene is similar in style? Not too sure how to go about that.
Your last idea also could be a good one. I’ll talk with the class about that.

Sadly, I’m currently using my school’s software and they don’t have any of those programs. Inconvenient, but I might just screenshot the frame I need and take it into photoshop. Hopefully it’s not too cheesy. Thanks guys!
