Production
In my group, there are four of us, me, Shemi, Koria and Toni and we all had specific parts we were responsible of in this advert. We each decided that everyone were to take control of a position where we were comfortable with and familiar with too. Shemi was in charge of filming, Toni was in charge of making sure all the equipment was safe and ready to use, Koria was the actress of the advertisement and last but not least I held the position of writing the script and recording a voice over for the advert.
The very first thing with getting ready to make a film, is making sure that all equipment is gathered and ready to use. To know when and where my group and I where using these equipments, we had to sign a track record sheet in our classroom to show that we have taken the equipments needed. For instance, we needed equipment such as the camera and the tripod, only a small number of equipment was used. This is vital because if something were to happen to any of the equipment used the department would be aware of who last had those equipments.
As a group we needed to be aware of how we planned our advert and how we were going to stick to our plan, so based on this reason, we had to find a specific type of room that we were to film our advert. The plan for this advertisement was for it to be calm, so because of this we decided to do our filming in a drama studio and also in a clear, white space in a hallway. I personally felt as though filming the advert in the hallway was best suited for this advert because I wanted the result of the film to come across as calm and relaxing. This adds concentration on the subject.
The equipment and the place of where the advert were to be filmed was then complete so we then had to decide how we were going to film in such a dark room. In a stage such as this, lighting became very vital in the process. How much we were going to use was another factor we needed to take into consideration because we didn't want that when filming, it'll be too bright or too dark; we wanted it to be just right. Our advantage of filming our advert in this studio, was because there had already been lights that easily could be increased/dimmed to whatever brightness we wanted.
When filming the actress, (Koria) in the hallway we had to make sure that the natural light coming from outside wasn't beaming on her face too much. For this reason, we made sure that Koria stood opposite the window, this was so that an equal amount of light would be shown on her face. Very phew of us took part in the film so because of this she only had to stand in a small area of the studio. To film Koria we needed to make sure that she were to stand in a area which showed the whole of her face and top half of her body. The reason why I say only her face and the top half of her body is because those are all we need to see in the film.
Throughout the shoot, we took into consideration the how critical the health and safety was. When filming, it was vital that Shemi knew where she wanted to place the camera around the space in the studio, and because the studio was black it would be very risky for anybody in the room to mistakenly knock it down without being aware. So based on these reasons we only set up the camera when we knew we were ready to film our advert and if we weren't using the camera at times someone would be guiding it so that it couldn't fall off from the tripod. We never walked around with the camera on the tripod or the tripod left with its legs out so that it could prevent problems like breaking or cracking them.
How did I edit my film?
2) Once I had all my clips loaded and ready to use, I began watching each clip to make sure of which ones I wanted to use. I started using the clip which I personally thought was best suited for to begin the advertisement.
3) In addition to that, I began working into more of the clips that I wanted to add onto my sequence.
4) To develop my advert as a whole I included various amounts of trnasitions, effects, a voice over and some music.
5) This tool helped me move, erase, edit sounds, zoom in and out of anything that'll need to be done to refine my advert. I used the last tool which looks like a triangular pencil to edit how loud I wanted my sound the be in the video or how low as well. I used this for my voice over and my music.
6) Finally, my advert was complete and ready to be transferred onto my YouTube account and blog. There were various steps I had to complete before uploading the clip. I had to change the sound settings, size settings and video settings.
