What post-production decisions did you make?
Post production of our children’s film.
We started editing after filming all the scenes for our children’s film. We started cutting scenes that we didn’t need as we had filmed each one several times to make sure there was at least one that worked well and looked good. We had also used a moped in our children’s film although it looked slow and downplayed the action in the film so we decided to edit it and speed it up to make it more exciting for children to watch. We then added the title ‘The pursuit’ and some credits, as this was what had been suggested in an evaluation by the class. Once all the editing was complete we could export the film into Garageband and begin editing the sound and get it perfectly in time with the sequence.
Post production of our thriller.
The Post production stage started with the editing. As our thriller opening was not in chronological order, the cut up and placing of the footage took a long time. We decided to cut our footage up into small segments and then put them next to other pieces of footage, that is why there are some parts of the opening that follow and story. We then also decided to change the video filter on the product so it had a grainy look to it, so it looked as if it was old footage. We also decided to disorientate the viewer by putting some shots in reverse, and also speeding them up. We decided to ass credits on to the opening, the decisions we made for this were the font to use and where to put the credits. Deciding on where to put the credits was difficult as all of our shots were fairly short, and had something going on, and we wanted to make the credits subtle, so we edited them so they looked like they were on the wall. Once the editing was complete we had to create a soundtrack. We come the majority of diagetic sound, but as the majority of the footage was sped up or put in reverse it sounded very disorientated, which was the feel that we wanted. We also created a drone on Garageband to play through the film.
Post production of our music video.
The Post production stage of our music video started with editing the footage. As we had already decided what order our shots were going in it was not to hard to do, we just had to cut up the footage and place it where we wanted it. We then decided to put filters on the product so it looked old, as we wanted it to be a punk style music video. We put a filter on the footage to make it more grainy, and we also changed the colour of the footage to a yellow colour, so it looked more 80’s. As we were creating a music video, the music element to the video was already produced so we just had to put the music on top of the video. Once we had done this we had to move a few of the shots so that the lip-syncing was in the right place.
What is the function of post-production?
The function of post production is to turn your raw footage into an actual product. You do this through editing and sound. Post production turns your footage into a story, or your desired product. The post production stage of the product is important so people will understand your intentions.
Write 250 words on how your post-production skills have developed the 2 years-give detailed examples.
Over the two years our post production skills have improved dramatically. When we first came to long road, we knew nothing about the post production stage of a product, and as you can tell from our products over time, we have improved. If you look at the children’s film, there are obvious continuity errors. For example when Will stands up at the beginning, the next shot shows him standing up again, whereas if you look at our music video, the continuity is good. This is due to editing. Over the two years of being at long road we have used final cut express. When we first came to the college, we had never used the software, but over time we have become more familiar with the software, meaning that our product look a lot more professional. It also means post production time can be reduced as we are much more familiar with the editing programmes and can therefore get editing done a lot quicker, meaning more time can be used for filming resulting in better shots. Editing has also become more adventurous, for example in my thriller opening we changed the lighting of some of the shots but for the music video we were able to change the colour of the shots as well as the lighting to create an 80s looking film.
Write 500 words in response to "to what extent have digital technologies helped develop your research & planning skills during your media a-level.
Digital technologies have helped us develop our research and planning skills in many ways. The biggest aid to us has been the access that we have to the Internet. The Internet is very useful to us especially during the research stage of the project. This is because there is almost an unlimited amount of resources, from many places, from many different people. The types of resources that you can get online are also very different to anything else. You can get audio footage, video footage, images and text. Examples of these are that for our music video. We went on to YouTube where we could watch other music videos that are in the same genre as our production and look at the styles and techniques which are common within that genre, and then use them as we wish. An example of images is for deciding our costumes for our production. We went on to Google images and searched key words such as “Punk” and “80’s Police office”. This meant that we could see what they were wearing and we could base our costumes around them. The Internet was also useful as we could create blogs. This meant that we could post all of our ideas onto the one place, which is safe. It also meant if a member of the group had an idea and wanted to share it with us, they could write the idea on the blog for others to see. Other ways in which digital technologies have helped us through or research and planning stages of our production, is through a still’s camera. We could use this to take images of locations, props and costume’s and decide how we would use them within our production; it is also useful as it meant we could insure everything looked to how we planned to make our time more efficient. We could also use video cameras within our planning and research stage. This meant we could get test footage of what we wish to do, and then analyse it and see if it was how we expected. An example of this is within our thriller, in which one scene there is footage of someone washing blood off of his hands. We did test footage of this to see if the colours were how we expected. Digital technologies have also helped us with the decisions that we made when putting filters onto our videos. With the test footage that we took we could upload it into final cut express and then put filters on it to see how it looked. This saved time within the postproduction stage of the film, as we already knew what filters that we wanted on our footage.
