What post-production decisions did you make?
Children's film
-transitions between scenes making a soft appearance.
-including sound into the opening using garageband to set the adventure tone.
-edited in a chronological order.
-with feedback, edit the sequence to make it more successful.
Thriller film
-hard transitions between scenes were made fast to increase tension in opening.
-sound was used to build suspense. Made in garageband.
-edited the sequence in chronological order
-added still images to build on the conventions of political thriller openings.
-edited the saturation of the shot to make a dull, tense mood.
Music video
-Edited shots with a fast pace to make the viewer not look at one shot for too long.
-lip-synchronized to match the lyrics to the video.
-added filters to challenge the conventions of the the genre.
-adding text of the lyrics to build on the conventions of the genre.
What is the function of post-production?
The purpose post-production is to build on the raw material obtained. For example with our thriller and children's film openings adding a composed music soundtrack to the filming using garageband, helping set the tone and builds on suspense and follows or challenges conventions of the genre. We used Final Cut Pro to put our filming in chronological order and edit to make our productions more successful. The main purpose of editing allowed us to ensure continuity. By this, we mean ensuring the filming follows the context and making sure nothing disrupts time and space.
How our post-production skills have developed over the 2 years
The main source of our development has been the use of technology and learning how to use the technology over the two years. For example, Final Cut Pro, was used to edit all of our raw filming and it has many techniques to edit filming and sound. For example, in Ryan's music video, he used filters to build on the conventions of the genre of the soundtrack. Final Cut has a range of transitions which make a production more successful, also set the mood and build on the genre that the production hold. For example, when making my thriller opening, we used fast, harsh transitions to ensure a thriller genre recognition by the audience. The use of the blogging system has allowed to plan, research and develop our productions. We research professional and student examples and tried to include their conventions and also begin to challenge their conventions used and also begin to originate our own.
"To what extent have digital technologies helped developed your research and planning skills over the 2 years?"
Technology has had a significant impact on how we have researched, planned and developed our product. Software such as the blog site, garageband, Final cut pro, photoshop and other software helped us to do this. The blog site helped us store our ideas to research other examples to influence our products both of a professional and amateur level. We planned our ideas using a shot list and storyboard and these were displayed on our blog and were used to edit our idea both during and post-production. By displaying our step-by-step method on the blog site we were able to obtain the coursework mark tiers, develop our final production, edit the blog to cover research and planning and see what we have and haven't done to our whole media production including ancillary products. Youtube was a big part in our researching section - looking at other products that had been produced. We took note of their product characteristic and begin to plan our idea with the research in mind. Facebook, Twitter and other social networks allowed us to access their fan page to build the conventions among the people who belonged to that genre. Challenging them was also a big part of using the conventions obtained.
Aother way digital technology has abled to expand our ability to plan and research during the whole 2 years is through the Preliminary Tasks that we did before the main production. The first Preliminary Task was to understand the task before going into it and to develop our skills with the technology for example the camera, the editing including using final cut pro and its techniques and garageband to compose music and finally photoshop to minipulate the product as a whole in screening.
