2013 Post 9: Post-Production

As with the production stage it is important that you keep either an individual written record (with screen grabs) or an individual video diary of your understanding and contributions to the post-production stage.

Every member of the group needs to contribute to the post-production stage but it is best to work in pairs to minimise crowding around the edit suite. When your are not editing use your time wisely by making sure your blog is up to date including production report.

Task 1: Book the edit suite - just because you have a lesson doesn't mean that there will be access to room 16.

Task 2: Logging Rushes
  • Connect the camera to the edit suite making sure that you use the correct hole on the camera.
  • Set up a "folder" in "My Documents" which can clearly be identified as yours, for example "AS 2011 Lucy".
  • Set up a word document with a table to log your rushes. Columns are titled:
    • In code
    • Out code
    • Scene
    • Shot
    • Take
    • Description
    • Yes/No
  • Log your "rushes" following instructions from your teacher.
  • Construct a "rough cut" of the visuals alternating between video track 1 & 2.
  • Mix your sound track
    • Lock your video tracks by clicking on the little padlock.
    • Create an overlap between the two audio tracks you are mixing. Make sure you don't add an "action" or "cut" by accident.
    • Using the dots create the fade up and down on the relevant tracks
  • Add transitions at the start and end of your preliminary sequence.
  • Insert a title at the beginning.
  • Insert credits at the end.
  • Optional music..... but definitely not all of the way through the piece unless the mise-en-scene dictates it.

Show your video to Mrs Shipp
  • Export your video as a media player video file, saving in your document folder.
  • Tell Mrs Shipp that it has been finished and where it is stored and she will up load it to YouTube.
