DEVELOPMENT - Organising our files

Within the two media classes, each media group has access to their own 'trimedia' folder in which the members in the group all have access to it and can store any files into it.

The folder for our group is 'trimedia2' which each of us uses to store our files for our individual ancillary tasks and the footage for our music video. This means that all of our stuff can be stored in the same place and we can access each other’s work.

'trimedia2' folder:

This folder was extremely useful when Vanessa was creating her poster about Kings of Leon's gigs because I have already included tour dates on my website which needed to match to the poster. Having the trimedia2 folder enabled Vanessa to access my website and obtain the tour dates.

In addition, I took photos when we visited London and undertook filming at a studio and having the 'trimedia2' folder enabled me to upload these photos so that the other members of my group had access to them to add them to their own blog.

This is also the folder we refer to when we get our footage uploaded because this is where it is located. Within this folder I have inserted several folders to organise our footage, for example there is a folder named 'London footage' which includes all of our footage from London.

During a two hour practical lesson, Kate began to organise our London footage into sub folders which are named after the different locations that we shot at. She named these folders and began to look through the footage which she renamed and put them into the appropriate folders. I helped her with this in a lesson after in order to complete this and ensure that all of our footage was there and grouped together correctly.

I also started to create a table which stated the order of the shots with the name of their files and what happens in the shot. By undertaking this and rearranging the files into folders this will make the editing process much easier when accessing the different files we want to import.

For example, this is the folder for 'Borough Market' which consists of all the footage that was taken at this location. This means that for when we are editing and want to import the footage from Borough Market we can access it all from this folder.
