I was given a assignment to
create a video, we had to edit and put sound on it. I was in charge of the camera and filming the footage.
We had to choose a partner so
chose Ryan. Me and Ryan went and filmed around college we got footage of
students playing football, students walking around college we also filmed the
Transporter Bridge. We got the footage we needed I started editing the video in
Adobe Premier Pro, I cut-out the footage I didn’t want in my video.
I changed the colour of the
video I made it more dull and give it an old effect.
I had to choose a piece of
music to put on my video so chose a song called Lost at sea by a band called
I-Exist
Planning and production
Before we could start the actual filming, there were some practical issues and planning needed
We would need to think of what ideas we could use for a video about the college and a mind map would be good to do this.
We would need to complete a risk assessment as although it was going to be filmed on college premises we would still need to identify and possible risks or hazards during production of the video.
After deciding on suitable locations we discussed who would be taking part in the production and any dialogue, script or camera directions that would be needed.
After discussing different ways to make the video between Ryan and myself, we decided not to use any students in the actual film production - this would leave out time needed for scripts, dialogue, model consent etc and allow us to concentrate on using buildings and backgrounds as the main content for the footage.

When we had agreed on this we will need to arrange to book out camera, tripod for the morning of filming.
I am going to look on YouTube for a piece of music to use in the final film.
Production Log
26th November 2013
This is the day that the brief was given.
10th – 17th December 2013
During these two weeks we planned, brainstormed and mind mapped different ideas for this video.
7th -21st January 2014
Between these three weeks, as a group we planned and created
the pre-production documents that we need for this shoot. We have created a
Risk Assessment, a Treatment, an equipment booking form, This is
so that everything is prepared when it comes to doing the shoot.
28th January 2014
Today was the day of our production shoot. I operated the
camera whilst other members of the group recorded the shots on a shooting
script. The shoot when alright, there were no complications and we managed to
get some really good shots.
4th February 2014
Today was reserved as a contingency day, a spare day so that
if we needed any more time to shoot or get extra shots then this would have
been the time to do that.
18th February 2014
We now have a week left before the deadline, so during this
week I am editing the video. I have decided the audio track; it is a song by
I-Exist called Lost at Sea. The reason that I have chosen this is because it’s
chilled out and it’s how I want to tone of my film to be. I think I worked really well with Ryan, the other half of our team and we both worked together at all stages - me in charge of filming and him in charge of sound. He has sent me a comment at the end of this post (Biddley)
25th February 2014
Today is the submission day for my video. I managed to get
it all edited and the completed to how I planned it. I am very happy with how
it has turned out. If I was to create this video again I would consider using a
tripod to get stable clips because some of the shots that I recorded handheld
are a bit shaking. I would also get more shots so that me video was diverse and
showed more of the college.
Risk Assessment
Here is my risk assessment.
Review:
I was happy with the overall video I had created but if I spent more time editing it could have made my video a lot better.
Everything went well with this assignment nothing went wrong but if I had to do it again I would have got more footage.
But we did everything we needed to, the editing wasn't hard to do and the location that we needed to film was hard to get to because it was just outside of our classroom. The software that we needed to edit our footage was easily available to us and I knew what I needed to do and how to edit it the way I wanted it to look.
I didn't know how to add music so I asked my teacher Andy how to add the music and effects that I needed and he showed me how to do that and I also adding in a title and credits the beginning and end.

But overall I’m happy with my finished video, but I were to do it again I would spend more time editing.
