Post Production: Digital Technology

I found the editing quite easy using the different tools and trying to perfect the lip syncing to match the mp3 track.  I would like to further my knowledge on Adobe Premier Pro to produce a good quality video for my final A2 course work. The devices I used on Adobe Premier Pro included: the razor tool to crop the video; the speed/duration tool to speed up and slow down clips. These were particularly useful as it enabled me to capture the correct shot to match the timing of music.

Skills Task Production

During this production task, we used a classroom in Worcester Sixth Form college to film the scenes that we needed for the music video. The shooting went really well and was not time consuming as we had studied the angles, expressions and actions needed for the shot. We filmed a few of the scenes multiple times so that we could choose the best ones to edit for the final outcome. I carefully went through all the clips to select the best one for the final outcome. It would be beneficial in future for my A2 coursework to rename the final selected clips to differentiate from the unneeded clips. These selected clips could also be put into a different file so that I can easily access these clips when editing the video.  The only part of filming which could have been redone for the better was the close up shots of the two busted boys to get a clearer view of their expressions in two scenes. I found that the team were really easy and enjoyable to work with an were focussed on the task at hand. For future recording, I personally would like to direct and film as I would take great consideration of all angles to portray a good quality shot.

I enjoyed editing the music video using Adobe Premier Pro. I found it easy to edit using the razor tool to crop the video and change the speed of certain clips. I did not personally use the camera to record for this piece of work however I did film the opening to a romantic comedy genre film for AS and did so very well. I have documented the research and planning on my blog to help me further my production work.

During this production task, I learnt how to successfully work in a team deciding the roles between us and producing a satisfying final outcome. During the A2 year, I would like to further my knowledge and understanding of the Adobe Premier Pro software to produce a high quality music video.

Skills Task Research and Planning

I found that the story board was most useful when editing the video clips as it gave a clear insight to which scene followed another in time with the music. It helped me carefully edit scenes so that the timing of each clip matched the timing of the music. This was beneficial to do otherwise the lip syncing would not have matched the timing of the vocals on the mp3 track. In future for my coursework, I will plan the shot list with more detail so that I know exactly what I am filming in order to produce a successful shot. This will also be less time consuming as I can film what I need without having to repeatedly film the same scene to get the correct shot. This will also prove beneficial as the weather will be much colder when Filming commences so it will be less time consuming filming the scene outdoors if needed.

During the A2 year, I plan to watch various different music video's to grasp an insight into the detail put into the production of a music video. I will then decided on a music genre and create a mood board into what images and emotions match that genre in particular. For my video, I will need to make a list of the cast and their roles. This will then be used for the shot list. I will produce a story board to help me plan shot by shot. A risk assessment will be made along with a list of props, costumes and locations.
