Post production report
After filming came editing, Editing was not too bad for us as we thought we had got the worst bits over and done with. The first task we had to do was logging. Logging meant we would pick and choose all of the shots we wanted, check the times for each of them and state whether we would want them or not. Logging took about four lessons to finish completely and we generally had no troubles with doing the logging task.
The next part of editing we had to do was the capturing. This meant we needed to get the shots we wanted, put them in order and choose how long we wanted each shot to last for, so everything would be in chronological order. Capturing was just as easy as logging, but we needed to think carefully about where we would put each shot, for continuity issues, and how long we wanted to make each shot and/or if we needed to cut it down, as the whole of our opening sequence needed to be at maximum 2 minutes.
After we had done these two tasks we could now start editing, adding in titles, music and any other editing techniques. First of all we had one problem. Which was the sound in the background when we were filming; we had unwanted sound, meaning we needed to turn it right off or down very low. We decided to turn it right down, and with our music over the top we thought it would not be a problem, it was a success and we were generally very pleased that this had worked.
We decided that we would place the London shots in various different places. We did this and once we had all of our shots in order we noticed another problem. This was the use of our match on action, where the old woman was walking past the pregnant girl. In order for us to correct this we needed to cut the whole shot out. Once we did it, it looked much better and we were pleased with the outcome.
Other problems that we faced were the shots of Dominic and his feet; they did not link together, on the match on action, so again we had to cut the shot short, in order for it to link together into one shot.
After we had captured everything, we started to add in titles, and effects that would come with the titles. We added in separate titles, where each scene ended and added the effect’s which was a dissolve fade. We added in name titles for each of the characters, and director, and casting and music director name, then we added in the name of our film. We made some changed with adding in the titles, as our teacher felt they were too big, and we needed to reduce the size. We also needed to change where we put each of the titles, as we added in the film title at the end, which made it look like a trailer. We also put the cast names over the people who played them, as before we put them anywhere.
The sound also became an issue but that was easily sorted, and we needed to fade each scene into each other. Some shots needed to be edited so that they would link together and some shots were deleted.
The last task we needed to do was to add music to our opening sequence. The music was Dub step, and it made our whole opening sequence alive, and linked in well with our genre. When we added the music we were happy with what we had achieved, as before we had negative vibes about our opening sequence. The music was very easy to add in and once we had done this we were finished. We then exported it to a DVD and got feedback from our target audience. Overall we are very happy with how our opening sequence turned out.
