Starter recap • In pairs brainstorm one of the key skills development areas we have covered already: • Creativity • Digital Technology • Feedback and apply one aspect at least to your AS and/or A2 work.
Starter:What ‘post-production’ techniques have been used to create this mag front cover?Use the post-it notes provided.
Theoretical Evaluation- Post- Production Aim: to discuss how your post-production skills have developed from AS to A2.
What is post-production? • Post production is everything that is done after the production phase (photography, filming etc). • It is the final stage of constructing your ‘raw images/footage’ into a finished draft. • What are the main elements to post production? • Audio-visual work: • Editing the raw filmed material. • Choosing and dubbing on sound (if film). • Converting files. • Adding titles and other after effects. • Print • Selecting and manipulating images. • Merging layers. • Layout design, including placement of text etc. • http://akvis.com/en/photoshop-tips/editing-tools.php
What editing decisions were made when creating this front cover?
Film editing- recap • During AS year we studied editing for the TV drama section of the exam. • Editing is often thought of a as a process of cutting down. • It can also be the process of coordinating and connecting one shot to another. • Editing can be split into two sections: • Juxtaposition and length of shots. • Transitionsand effects.
Analysing editing • How does the editing help to create audience meaning in this trailer? • Make notes and consider: • Selection and sequencing of shots • Use of transitions and effects • The sound editing. • Task: Now write 2 paragraphs, discussing how the editing makes meaning for the audience.
Post production difficulties • For this question it is vital that you compare across AS and A2. • What could you have done differently during the post-production stage of your production work? Discuss. • Thought about the editing/construction of mag before filming/photo shoot. • Been more careful/organised in the selection of material. • Had more practice on the software. Shared the burden of editing –A2. • Looked closely at professional work- often we only look at pro work during the planning stage!
Film Editing- order • Reviewing raw footage. • Uploading to hard drive • Selecting footage – EDL (edit decision list) • Converting selected footage (if necessary) • Opening Premiere/Final Cut Pro/Vegas file • Importing clips • Importing music and dragging onto timeline • Dragging clips onto timeline • Cutting clips • Ordering clips on timeline into a rough edit • Adding effects and transitions • Adding titles • Sound
How have your post-production skills developed from AS to A2?
What to leave out? • Think about your AS and your A2 productions. Make notes. • How did you make a decision about what photographs to use for your music mag? • How did you make a decision about what footage to use and leave out for your film trailer?
Look at your work on the wiki • It is imperative that you look closely at your wiki pages and make notes on your work. • Look at your work and make further notes in your booklets. • Tomorrow: Practice questions Section A. • 1A- post production • 1B – audience.
