unit 30: post production

editing 

We have noticed a few errors with the footage. the framing is of and could be more closer. the white balance was of during filming making the image very blue. the audio has a lot of background noice making it difficult to here the actors. we are currently trying to fix the audio however this will be very difficult and we may have to re shoot.

 

The video was very blue when we looked back at the footage as the white balance was of to change this i used the 3 way colour correction effect in FCP. the framing of the footage was also of i improved this by using wireframe and zoom to adjust the angle.

The sound for the actors was very quiet making it extremely difficult to here the actors there was also alot of background noise from the traffic and construction. To fix this problem we have decided to dup the audio. The audio is much clearer and the actors can now be heard. 

Unit 30 Pre Production

Pre production 

The preproduction documents will consist of:

• The script 
• storyboard 
• Reece 
• risk assessment 
• actor contracts 
• resource list 
• scene by scene 
• shot list
• Filming schedule
• production schedule   

To ensure we were up to date and on task we have had a weekly meeting. Setting tasks and dates that need to be done. 

The script 

The pre production has gone well we have done several drafts of the script. This has massively improved the script from the first draft as it is more natural. The final script is much better and we are happy with the improvements.

Actors casting and rehearsal

We had a few problems with casting the actors as we agreed on casting two girls on a drama course. the two girls did agree to be involved with our advert however they were difficult to arrange a suitable time for rehearsals and script. we then tried to cast someone from a acting class although we could not get in contact with these actors. Finally we got some actors from the cast who are more reliable. We have given them a copy of the script a week before filming and have done rehearsals a couple of days later. This went well as both actors knew the script and the actions with only a few mistakes.

Location 

We have changed the location multiple times. A corridor and common room however we though this would not look natural. we were going to film in the cafeteria however this didn't look natural and would provide many problems such as space and noise. we then agreed to film in a public cafe but were unable to due to available times. We have finally decided to film in the gardens as this is a best option.

test shots

before filming the advert we did some test shots. after looking back at the footage we noticed the framing was not correct and needed to be closer.  The focus in the background was also of and the white balance seemed to be yellow.
