Post 9: Post-Production Report

We connected our camera to the edit suite and captured our film. We then created our Logging Rushes table on a word document and went through and wrote down each scene, shot, take, wrote a description for each shot and whether we were going to keep it or not.

When we'd finished doing the logging rushes we started to edit. We used the tools to cut the clips we wanted. We used our logging rushes table to help us find where each clip we wanted to use started and ended. We then used the cut clip and put it in the timeline. We did this until all our clips were together in a rough cut in chronological order.

                                                                                 

In Code	Out code	Scene	Shot	Take	Description	Yes/no
00:00:03:10	00:00:11:05	1	1	1	Chloe walking into the doctors surgery	yes
00:00:12:02	00:00:33:11	2	1	1	Chloe walks into the room	No
00:00:33:12	00:01:11:24		1	2	Chloe  walks into the room	No
00:01:14:16	00:01:50:09		1	3	Chloe  walks into the room	Yes
00:01:51:17	00:02:03:20		2	1	Chloe speaks to doctor leaves room	Yes
00:02:04:13	00:02:10:17		3	1	Doctor speaks to Chloe	No
00:02:12:17	00:02:18:20			2	Doctor speaks to Chloe	No
00:02:20:06	00:02:47:05			3	Doctor speaks to Chloe	Yes
00:02:47:05	00:02:52:06		4	1	Doctors Close up	Yes
00:04:25:24	00:04:32:10		5	1	Chloe Close up	Yes

           

We then played the rough cut and went through and made sure it all made sense and sounded correct. We had to edit parts out, for example if there was a pause before the dialogue begun then we cut it out so the whole clip flowed. After putting all the clips together we then edited the sound, making sure it wasnt too loud or too quiet and the continuity was ok. We used the fading markers at the beginning and end of every clip, this helped the sound flow throughout the clips.

We then went through the music we had on the computer to see if we could find a piece we could use in the footage. We wanted to add a piece of sad music at the point where Chloe recieves the bad news and also to have some theme music at the beginning and end of the footage. We couldn't find any on the computer that were suitable for our piece so we decided that we would add our own.

After we had finished the sound levels we added in some effects. We added in a cross fade effect at the beginning and end of the footage. We then created some opening titles and  end credits. We also put a cross fade effect on the start and end of the opening titles. We gave the opening titles a blue background and writing.

Unfortunatley we ran out of time to add the music that we wanted onto our clip so our final piece of footage didnt have any music. We also changed the colours of the opening titles and end credits so that they matched each other. Also when we first did the titles there was a shadow behind the writing which made it quite difficult to read, so we chose a different font style so that we no longer had a shadow there.

    

This was the stage where we decided what music to add in.

Post 8: Pre-Production Report

Pre-Production Report:
The first time we tried to start filming, we couldnt get the key to the office, so we had to rearrange a date to go back so we could film. When it came to filming the only problems we had was that from on camera angle there was a couple of blue trays stacked on top of each other which we had to move as they blocked Marc's face.

The filming went quite well and we got all the shots we needed from both angles. There was one close up of Chloe which we didnt get time to film, so we needed to rearrange another date to go back to the office so we could get the close up. We worked well together as a team as we came up with an idea for the shooting. I would push the button to record, show Chloe and Marc I was counting to three on my fingers and then say action. We counted to three before ending the shot as well. This made it easier as Chloe was outside and Marc was inside for the beginning so they could both listen in.

When we watched it backed we focused on looking at the amount of head room each shot had and how much spare space there was around the characters. We made sure we had used the correct shot size according to our storyboard and shot list. We checked that all the shots we had were suitable for the final edit. We came across some problems with our shots as some of the close ups we wanted we're actually medium close ups instead.
