What post-production decisions did you make?
Children's film - We tried to use Photoshop animations but this although looked good at first, but however managed to end up losing the whole thing on the deadline day when the photoshop files were removed and we managed to end up with un-rendered over all the footage.
when we needed to think about the soundtrack for the film we looked at the program garage band in order to compose our soundtrack after we had edited as this made it easier to put music to the footage. We didn't change much of the music we used most of the defaults which is in contrast to our Thriller were we made most of the music ourselves.
for the editing part of our post-production work we didn't really do anything that was overly complex as we were still inexperienced with the final cut software, this lead to us only using quick cuts to simulate speed and movement.
Thriller - Parallel narrative, Different parts in focus with foreground and background. So for example from the children's film us we were the main focus, but in the thriller we are using other parts as the focus, like the shot through the banisters. Our garage band soundtrack was much more custom made, and we used a voice over to reveal more of the story and create more questions. We also made our credits blend into the environment, like blending one into the pedestal. As it was a thriller we decided to make the colour of the screen darker to suit the dark and gritty mood of the thriller. Our most creative part of our thriller is the parallel narrative which we used to make a anachronic feel to it buy using flashbacks to show past stories. And we made the screen black and white to show this without having to show timestamps on the screen.
Music Video - For our music video we did not have to make a soundtrack as there was already one, this freed up time for us to concentrate on other aspects of the post production. In the case of editing we used simple techniques to create the feeling of voyeurism on the main actor, we also used other footage from news networks to emphasise the point of our film. The transitions that we used was called "bad TV" which we varied each time in order to not make it seem over used, it also added to the voyeur feeling as it seemed like you were actually watching a T.V this was backed up by a form of glitch that we added to the footage to make it seem like a bad connected stream of footage.
The function of post-production is to add effects and the cutting of footage after all the footage has been shot that it gives it order as well as enabling editing of the footage.
To what extend have digital technologies helped developed your research and planning skills, over the two years.
Through the use of blogger and sites like youtube we had managed to get lots of information on what are audience had wanted and how it is best to get it out there too them. Digital technology also included final cut, garage band and the cameras we used to film the piece. Our Music video had looked much more professional due to the fact that the cameras we had used HD cameras, and we became much more inventive with garage band and final cut.
While planning our projects our use of digital technologies changed and improved, for a start we begun to use the internet in new ways looking on lots of different sites for information, for example Know your Tribe rather than referring to the default response of just checking Wikipedia altough this was only the case in terms of information that we needed, when we required more information on people e.g. The King Blues we managed to find their blog site and were able to find out alot of stuff about them like their political views and opinions.
You can see how much we increased in using the blog by comparing the children's blog with the thriller one, as the thriller one is full of information to do with similar films to the genre we were going to focus on. Whereas children's film we concentrated on the whole children's film industry as a whole.
