Application of Post Production: Video


*Using the same image.

The video itself is all images, the feedback was given to use the images instead of the footage, this made it clearer to what is happening and it suits the conversation. I also made the pictures contrast brighter to give a clearer image and I also added animations of how the images appear, I used effects such as; Fade ins, panning right to left etc.


Application Of Post Production: Audio


After filming the documentary, I had to edit the documentary and put in the audio which was part of the footage. I had filmed the interview with an external microphone so I could put together the sound with the video, however, since the footage was unusable I deleted the footage and kept the audio, I then put it underneath the images I used and turned up the master volume.  



Rushes Log and Edit Decisions



What you see is a screen grab of some my pictures that are labeled, I made sure each one was named differently so I wouldn't get confused. If this was a group project, I would label what images are able to be used for the film and say (Like this one) what is on the pictures before dragging it onto the timeline. 


The footage that isn't going to be used in the final cut.

Even though this does show the couple themselves, the lighting and the actual focus of the camera is really dark, it'll be hard to see even on a big screen. However, the audio was very clear and so I was able to take the audio from the video and use it on my timeline along with the pictures.

Script Evaluation

From the beginning of my script writing, I always had the idea of writing down something personal. I created the first draft and handed it in for my teacher to give me feedback, he then told me to change the layout and proof read it before handing it in, also not to mention to make the setting more clear and detailed.
 After this, I changed the layout of the script by adding camera angles before each action that is happening so it gives a clear view of what is happening on the screen and wrote the scenes more detailed so it gives a better picture to the person who is reading. Once this was done, I knew it looked like a professional script that could be used tp create my documentary.

Initial Ideas - The Dance

The Dance (Rough) Peer Feedback




  • Add more detail to the settings, it is vague.
  • Make sure you proof read after you think you have finished.
  • Have a clear description of where the camera is and what position it is in.

Script - Client Version + Client Feedback



Note: My grandparents wanted me to give them the script with the camera shots so they'll know where to look and know what is happening if I had enough cameras.

Client Feedback
They both said it was very well written and clear to see what I am trying to imagine the shooting will look like. Even though  it is clear on paper they would still like to be explained where to go etc when I begin shooting.
