unit 22.3 Editing Review Handmade Portrait
Back at college 10 October I did my edit on my video. The first thing I did is that but the shot of his back playing his drums as the first shot. Then I added text of 'Handmade Portrait', the text I used looked like rock and punk and flames at the top of the letters and made the colour green as it looked like toxic and a colour of a band. After that I made the the text jumbled to make it more interesting and quirky and made the letters appear of cross-dissolve so the letters come by and go individually. Then cross dissolve to the next shot of Peter's interview of the three questions I gave him but I cut out of my voice saying the question so you get peter saying the answer. Each time I put a shot with a cross-dissolve of Peter's interview to him playing his drums so you see him talking about himself and his drums and you see him playing. Again I did cutaway shots of parts of the drum kit so Peter won't jump of the frame and the voice won't change. At the end of his interview he saying it's enjoyable and he loves playing on concerts, this tells the audience that he is passionate and loves playing his drums, then to a next shot which is the last of video of Him playing his drums seeing the whole drum kit and the movements of his arms. then it cutaway to a black ground with a text of the same font that is used during the the whole video which says 'Grimsta Films' as this is the credits then it cuts back to Peter playing his drums again then it cuts again to another text saying 'Interviewer Peter Jones' again it cuts back to Peter but the camera moves up to see his face and playing his drums then its cuts to the last credit text 'Director/Editor James Grimley. It cuts back to Peter finishing his music from the drums and he turns his chair around showing the audience he is finish giving a great performance for them and a put a cross-dissolve to the end as it finishes.
On Tuesday 11th October I set the sound levels at right, so of the footage of Peter playing his drums I put the sound down so it's not to aloud and for Peter's interview I put the sound high so you can hear Peter aloud and clear of what he is saying and trying to match the sound together so you don't have to keep turning up or down of the volume of the video. Then I did the colour correction on the shots, so I made all of the shots look a bit lighter so you can see Peter more better and clear as before the footage is dark and grannie so I try to improve it. Once that was done I finished it and exported on quick time and then uploaded on YouTube.
I wish I could improve it more with the sounds because during film peter kept turing his chair which made a noise so I would have told him not to do that which the sound is noticeable and annoying. In a few shots of Peter's Interview his voice is a bit strange starts to echo and don't know why it did that but wish could have improved on that. I should have booked a light kit, but to do more practice on how to use lights. I would have used the lights to see more clear of Peter as it was filmed in the afternoon and was a grey day. Next time I would like to use the HD cameras because the footage will look nicely and sharp to watch instead of having grannie footage. But I have enjoyed making the video and I look like the interview because we hear about Peter and his talent and footage is good and some of him playing was really good as well, I was happy with overcome of the video.
Unit 22.2 Production log: Handmade Portrait
Production Log
On Wednesday 28th September we were given a handmade portrait project in other words a 1-4 minutes documentary of someone who has a talent e.g Sining, drawing and playing music.
On Thursday 29th September started on my pre-production paper work as I made up 4 ideas and I chosen to do the first idea of my Dad doing Modal Making with his friends. Then I did the Treatment, Treatment Budget, The Budget, Health and Safety and call sheet.
On Tuesday 4th October I went to see Vinnie to book out the flip camera but they didn't had the flip camera so I took out PD 170 Camera, sound boom and Tripod. I could not book the camera on Wednesday because college was close.
On Wednesday 5th October I planned to do my filming of my Dad and his friends doing modal making in the house. I gave them the realise form to sign. After that I started to film outside at night to get a elstabesling shot of the conservatory. When I look how long I got of the battery of the camera it said 30 minutes, which should have 200 minutes which I saw at college when I booked it out. After that I filmed inside of the conservatory of three shots of them making their modals, then the camera went dead and I didn't have a spare battery as Vinnie forgotten to give me a spare battery. So I couldn't film anymore of the documentary.
I couldn't go back to college on thursday because college was close so was the camera store so I decided to go on Friday 7th October to return the camera but to book it again and to have two new batteries. But I couldn't do My dad of his modal making as he was busy with work being a taxi driver. So I went to my backup plan to film Peter Jones my friend who plays the drums.
I contacted him to see if he was free today and I finished school on Friday and at 3.35pm. I caught a train around about 5 to Blake Street then Peter picked me up from the station, to take me to his house. Once we were at his I set up the camera to film him playing his drums in his music. The first shot I filmed of his back playing his drums seeing his arms. The next shot I filmed at the front of his face so you can see him and see parts of the drum kit and his drum sticks. I did a shot of the side of the back of his face to see his arms and hands playing the drums. I did another tilted down to see his arms and the drum sticks and then moved the camera up to see Peter's face. The I set up the camera to interview Peter sitting at his chair with the drum kit behind him. The problem had was that I filmed it late and it was getting dark, so the footage is a bit dark and grannie and wished that I could book the light kit to light up the interview and when Peter playing his drums to see it more clearly and eye catching.
Back at college 10 October I did my edit on my video. The first thing I did is that but the shot of his back playing his drums as the first shot. Then I added text of 'Handmade Portrait', the text I used looked like rock and punk and flames at the top of the letters and made the colour green as it looked like toxic and a colour of a band.
