Finalising - Finishing off and uploading to YouTube

As some of my scenes got deleted, editing and finally uploading my main product to YouTube so that it could be posted to my blog was a challenging task for me. Nonetheless, here is my process:

- After observing the actions of those around me, I learnt how to upload a film from the final cut pro software to the internet. The first step included downloading the film itself to the desktop of the Mac. This process took approximately 30 mins. The next step for me was to allow YouTube to process the film, which again took 30 mins. After an hour of processing, there was only one step left. This of course was the uploading - luckily this did not take as long as the rest of the process! So I uploaded, waited, processed, waited, waited some more, and then, once all was finalised... I embedded the YouTube video into blogger. This last step was simple, as there was a share and embed option which allowed me to copy and paste the code into the HTML section of my blogger account.

If you look carefully at the top left corner of this image that I took of my work on the FCP software, you will see a large series of red clips that state 'MISSING CAMERA' this meant that all of my clips of one member of my talent crew had been deleted. This caused a huge crisis for me, as I could not retrieve the clips what so ever, and had to re-film scenes with my talent - hindering my process of meeting the set deadline.
