P1. Metadata


For my footage I have imported, I have renamed each shot, telling me the scene it's in, the shot number and the take, so I can easily refer back to my storyboard and photo animatic to see the order my shots should be in and easily find them.

P1. Problem

Problem:
In today's lesson the problem was that I didn't get much work done. The reason for this was due to the fact I was helping my group members Dayna and Robyn, with their visual effects, which took a long time.

Solution:
Next time they ask for help, if it's something easy i'll quickly explain what to do, or if its complicated I'll get them to ask Nick or Dave what to do.

P1. Improving my sequence 04/02/14

In the first half of this lesson, I took Dave's critism into account, and made Robyn's face more red on Adobe After effects, as it was too subtle before.

P1. Appraising the Rough Cut

Audio
The audio we have recorded is fine, but at some points in the sequence, the dialogue is louder than other points. Once my sequence and visual effects are complete, I will go through the sequence and key point the audio louder or quieter where needs be. Also I will go through it illiminating any sounds in the background that aren't supposed to be there, and test out some royalty free soundtracks on top of the clips.  The strengths of the audio, is that we have recorded clear and recognisable sound to edit, and don't need to re-record anything.

Visual Effects
I plan to have 7 visual effects in my sequence and have currently done 3. The improvements I can make to these visual effects is firstly on the effect were Robyn turns bright red. I need to adjust the hue and saturation and increase the opacity of the mask to make her redder. Also with the invisible Dayna shot I need to make the action of her knocking into Jays bag more visible.

Sequence
Once I've finished placing in all the film footage in the places it's supposed to be, and have finished all of the visual effects, I will then crop unnecessary footage of clips to shorten it down to 3 minutes and make the sequence less boring.

P1. Rough Cut Team Production Meeting

Over all we found that all of our comments mentioned that thew film made narrative sense, which means we don't currently need to re-shoot anything. The comments also suggested that we needed to add more music and boost the sound of the dialogue up when Jay and the receptionist are speaking.

My feedback forums:




From the feedback I received from my individual film and edit, I found out I need to make some shots shorted as they drag on too long.

P1. Rough Cut (Not done)


This is what I have done so far for the rough cut. It is missing a scene at the end as we have only just filmed that scene and there wasn't enough time to edit it before the rough cut deadline. It still needs  colour correcting, some of the visual effects need to me improved and sound needs to be added and edited.

I have 3 more visual effects to produce and one more scene to edit.
