RED - Post Production


RED - Post Production

This week, we edited the footage we took last week. We used 'iMovie', as it was the only software we had access to out of school.

One of the largest tasks we that we had to do was to add audio and sound effects. For the video we separately recorded the spoken audio and added it over the clips as we wanted crisp sound. We also added sound effects of different diegetic sounds such as; a door opening, footsteps, and text tones. 

For one of our scenes we used Final Cut Pro as we created a clip that looked as if the protagonist received a text message from her mother. We took a a screenshot an iPhone message, removed the background making this a PNG, and then flip the direction of the speech bubble (so that it was facing the girl). For this we used Photoshop. We then imported it into Final Cut Pro and laid it over the footage.

Creating my blog

CREATING MY BLOG Over the last couple of days I have begun to create my new media studies blog. During this process I created a new blog on the website Blogger and filmed a short introduction for the page. The video includes a welcome from me and a quick interview. For the video I used a green screen, a DSLR camera and lighting equipment. The green screen was in the equipment so that I was able to have an interesting and eye-catching background. When filming it was important that there was soft lighting so that there are no extreme shadows. After filming this I went onto editing the video, adding text, a moving background and colour correction.

RED - Filming

RED  - Filming Myself and my filming partner started filming our short film, Red, a modern version of the classic story Red Riding Hood. For the camera we used my iPhone and also a tripod which was used for stability and as a crane. After filming we evaluated our clips and decided to re-record the audio and matched it up in post production. The cast consisted of three four characters which was quite challenging as filming need to fit with the actor's schedule.  We filmed on 4 separate occasions for different times of day which helped create different atmospheres and moods.
