First Viewing Of Video

27th Feb 2012


In today's lesson, we viewed everybody's video. The first viewing of the video was done so that everyone can put their input and advice for what should be done, in order to help each other make improvements for higher grades.


My video still needs a lot of editing as it is missing a few small things. There were a few problems with sound in the video, as there were a few sounds louder than others, therefore, we need to re-record them, editing it all to one level. A few shots of the dream sequence are still missing the colour effects needed, which is the change in brightness and contrast. Also, titles are not yet added and we have planned for the titles to be edited in the beginning of the sequence, where the writing and blurred dreamy sequence is, this is so we can avoid having to add font into the  shots later on, which include dialogue, as it will be too far into the video.


 However, on a much brighter side, everything else seemed to trigger the audience's attention very successfully, it was said by a pupil, "it has potential to be good, it just needs to be finished." Finally, as most of the shots were not rendered, by the time it got the point we had to watch everyone else's video's, we didn't have time to watch over our one, therefore it as more of a shock to us that it actually came out as well as we thought it would be. It was, too, our first time watching it and i really enjoyed what i'd seen so far.

As it is a dream sequence of a nightmare, i edited the effects and changed the contrast, brightness and color of the shots to a darker looking atmosphere. This is to make it easier for the audience to understand it is not just a dream, it is a weird dream sequence of a psycho. As there were a number of shots from the dream sequence, i added the particular effects needed as a favorite, this was to make it easier for myself to add in quickly to each shot, of just the dream sequence.

In today's lesson, i have edited the therapy session to my opening sequence. Successfully, i completed most of it. whilst doing so, there were a few problems with the difference in location of both acts, the therapist and protagonist. The locations of both, the therapist and the protagonist did not match due to the different days in recording. Thereby, i used the effect, fade in and out in between all shots to connect them properly. There was another problem, this was also due to the filming of different days. However, i edited the brightness of the location of which the therapist was in to match the location in which the protagonist was in. I done this by using effects again, i changed the color balance and made the filters to a much dimmer color, a much whiter and bluer shade.

These files, too, had to be converted to a PDF from a word document. As for the same process i done with the Screenplay, after converting to a PDF, i converted it to a JPEG. Click on the images to view it larger and clear. 

Screenplay

This was typed up on a word document, however, i was unable to upload it on my blog. Therefore, i converted the file to a PDF, then converted it again to a JPEG. Unfortunately, the pixels are not completely clear, thereby, please click on the actual file to view it larger and much clearer.
