Post Production Techniques: Annotated Screenshots

Sound Editing:

  • Adding music 
MP4 to Final Cut Pro - Import edit MP4 files in Final Cut Pro

One technique that we used was adding in music. This was exported into an mp3 file which we then inserted into the movie. This allowed the opening sequence to become more interesting.  
  • Increasing audio

Another technique that we used was increasing the audio. This was done by clicking on the volume button and increasing the audio. This allowed the opening sequence to become more clearer for the audience so that they can hear everything that is happening.  
  • Adding in sounds to match with the sound effects board 

Lastly another technique that we used was adding in sounds to match with the sound effects board. This was exported into an mp3 file which we then inserted into the movie. This allowed the opening sequence to become more interesting and therefore allowed us to use the sounds we said we were going to use in the opening sequence.  

Video Editing:

  • Cutting into a black screen 

One technique that we used was cutting into a black screen. All we had to do is get a black image and insert it into final cut pro. This allowed the opening sequence to become more suspenseful.  
  • Adding in transitions

  • Changing the lighting of particular scenes

This was done by changing the lighting by selecting the scene on final cut pro and change the gradient of the lighting. This allowed the opening sequence to become more interesting and linking to the client brief.  

Graphics/Text Editing:

  • Adding in the title of the SkinWalker

  • Adding in the spell in the background 

Another technique that we used was adding the spell in the background. This was done by using final cut pro to add a title in. This allowed the audience to understand what was being said when the SkinWalker was casting the spell.

Production Set-Up Reflection

Production Set-Up Reflection 

Evidence of using planning materials.


Here we can see that I am using the script to know what was needing to film and who was in it. One strength I had was everyones sections was given to them. This allowed me to focus on my own pieces of and took responsibilities for my filming. One weakness I had was that the script I printed wasn't fully clear. Therefore I had to look closely when looking at my lines. 


Here we can see that I am using the shooting script to know what scenes needing to be filmed. One strength I had was that I had my own section of the shooting script. This allowed me to film my section of the opening sequence. One weakness I had was that the script I printed wasn't fully clear, it was complicated to read. Therefore I had to look closely so that I knew what I was going to film. 


Here we can see that I am using the storyboard to know what scenes needing to be filmed and what I was in charge off. One strength we had was that we had spilt up the storyboard so that I knew what I had to do for my portion of the video. One weakness I had was that the storyboard was printed. This means that I didn't have the original sheets as it got damaged while during the production phase.  


Evidence on location.


Evidence of using health and safety.

Evidence of setting up camera equipment



This video shows how I put together the camera and tripod when I am filming these scenes. 

Strengths.
One strength when of me setting up the equipment is that I knew how to set up the tripod. This was a easy thing to do as I knew exactly how high I wanted the tripod to be and how to extend the tripod safety and effectively. 

Weaknesses.
From looking at the video, we can see that I had trouble placing the camera onto the tripod. This is because when I was setting up, the attachment to the tripod wasn't working well. This is something for me to improve on next time when setting up the equipment. 

Evidence of applying filters, transitions and effect to enhance meaning

Applying filters. Above is an image of using filters to change the opening sequence to attract more people for the target audience. This wil...
