LO3 - Production weeks report (P4)

Production Week 1 and Production Week 2

Below are photos showing proof of me throughout the weeks, during the production process.

I went home and started filming the sunset and sunrise. I got the tripod and opened it then I placed the camera onto the tripod. I turned the camera on and set up the right placements to where I would like to film then I started filming making sure all the settings were perfect.

This is me filming the sun shining on a nice sunny day. I got a tripod out and use the phone stand and put it on the tripod. Then I put the phone on the phone stand and started filming.

LO4 - Audience Research Ident 2 (P6,M3)

LO4 - Audience Research Ident 1 (P6,M3)

LO4 - Analysis and application of findings Part 1 (P6,M3)

From my audience feedback, I've discovered what went well with my ident and what improvements are needed to be done.

Ident 1

What went well?

The music selected for my ident goes well
The ident wasn't random
The music selected suited the ident.

What needs to be improved?

The music shouldn't have cuts so make it longer
Add a VoiceOver (use AI character voice)
The characters need more transitions for when they popup
Smoother transitions
Add a variety of different characters

Ident 2

What went well?

The Timelapse of the sky slowly getting darker
The ident wasn't random and made sense
The music was good

What needs to be improved?

Have the music not cut out
Adding different characters than Ident 1
Add a VoiceOver (use AI character voice)
Smoother transitions

When considering the improvements of the idents I am going to only improve the following:

Ident 1

T
Add a VoiceOver (Use AI character voice)
The music needs to not have cuts
Smoother transitions

Ident 2

Try and make the background darker to suit it being sunset to dark
Variety of different transitions used
The music needs to not have cuts
Add a voiceover

Reasons why I decided not to improve the other improvements:

The reasons why I had to not use some of the other improvements since I will not have time to change a lot since the deadline for the Idents are soon. However I am able to use majority of the improvements and use them to my advantage to make the best ident to the best of my ability. Both idents have similar improvements which I am able to use to my advantage since I can make them similar but very different at the same time.

LO4 - Post-Production - Edits and Transitions report (P6)

Ident 2:

Importing all the scenes in by file, import and selecting the clips I want to add. Then I go on effects and presents then add Key Light. I select the green colour at the back then remove it creating the background to whatever I desire it to be. (The sun set). Then I add transitions with position and changing the position to whatever I would like. To make the transitions smoother I would add speed graphs with an In and out graph for the start and finish with some motion blur.

When rendering the edit I would go to file, render. I would choose the most suitable options for the rending process to make the Ident the best quality that I could do. After everything has been rendered, I go to Handbrake and render everything there as well to render every frame into a video of my desire. The size, the quality etc.

Ident 1:

Using the masking tool to mask the tiny pop logo so that it's animated and has some sort of movements like shown from the previous Idents from Tiny Pop.

Importing the sunshine background by going to file import on After Effects. Then I go to effects and presents and add Twixtor Pro to slow down the background, which will be much smoother than slowing down the video since with Twixtor it blends all the scenes together to give a smoother effect and a longer timelapse.
