LO4 - Screening

LO3 applying appropriate visual effects and transitions

We used a fade to black transition and a black screen to end the film instead of it just cutting off as we aimed to make it professional.

We have lined up the recorded footage with the recorded sound as the clip on mic couldn't pick up the sound properly at the gig so we added cutting clips to sync the footage in time with the song as they are at different speeds before.

In this part of the video we used a black out transition which allowed us to make the footage more smooth with the effect splitting different clips

We are editing the heartbeat sound effect into the spaces where the clips have been cut which will allow us to add in black outs with the band walking out to the stage which will allow us to create an effect introduction.

Lo2: Evidence of Appropriate Equipment Setup

We are setting up the camera to film in corporation, the lighting is very purple because that is the colours of the lights used around the stage to give the room a complete different colour which looked effective for our music video which came out well on the camera when filming the band on stage.

LO2 - Following production processes

We have managed to follow the production schedule without any problems apart from the fact that we had a lot of time left towards the end which we spent going over our blogs to check and improve anything that needs improving or adding if we have forgotten anything. 

LO3 Final Video - The Apparitioners Short Film Documentary

LO3 The Apporitioners Offline Edit

We have completed the offline edit for our Apportitioners short film documentary and found that a few key bits need to be added before this can be our final video. There are sound effects which need adding at the beginning to fit with the moment of there hearts beating with excitement and some being nervous before they're about to play in front of a big crowd with fades needing to be added to make the transitions better. 

LO3 - Edit Decision List

LO3 Rushes

This footage is of the band playing on stage. Like the rest of the live audio, it is very poor as without all the correct microphones and other equipment to capture this. So instead we have decided to get the songs they have recorded and put them over the top to make it sound and look better. We see a few camera shots, however all consist of the all 5 members of the band (even if the drummer is a little out of sight). We can see a little of the crowd stood watching the band perform for them. The footage is very blurry in points and shaky at times, however over all this is very good bit of footage and a lot of it will be used across the final product. I would rate this footage at a 4/5.

However this footage is a lot blurrier than the last one, so we will have to  be careful with what we use on this as it will probably be used for cut aways as the songs played on this one are mainly ones that are covers of well known songs which they do not actually record, so we would not be able to get good audio for it. Overall I would rate this footage at 2/5

The footage is very blurry in points and shaky at times, however over all this is very good bit of footage and a lot of it will be used across the final product. This footage is not as blurry as the second lot, however it is over light, but this can be addressed in premiere. at 1:22 we see the lead guitarist jump, this will be good footage to use as it is very rocky and would be good for a cut away. I would rate this footage at 4/5.

This is footage of the crowd entering the venue, originally we planned to use as a time lapse however after reviewing it will probably be used as a cut away from the poor bits of footage of the band playing on stage. This will also add some affect to the final product and also show viewers that they get a lot of people come see them. Overall I would rate this footage at 3/5.

This will also add some affect to the final product and also show viewers that they get a lot of people come see them, this is when the gig was starting to get a lot busier so this shows the size of the crowd more. Overall I would rate this footage at 4/5.

This is the footage of the interview of the band. Some of the footage is unusable due to taboo language and messing around from band and interviewer. However this helped the band feel more at home and give us a more relaxed interview. There are serious responses as well as the mess around so this footage will be used, the mess arounds will be used as cut arounds as well, to add a quirky feel to the film. This one is the rehearsal filming to see how they responded to gigs. Overall i would give this a 3/5.

LO2 - Following safe working practices

Following safe working practices 

We have followed safe working practises by creating a risk assessment which we followed on the night of filming which allowed us to be safe and keep all equipment protected so it didn't get damaged or any of us in any trouble. We avoided a lot of the risks by parking just around the corner from the venue which meant we only had to walk for a minute to the venue which minimised the risk of being mugged. We anticipated people to go near the tripod which could have meant the camera being knocked off the tripod but there was a few of us who went which meant we could stand around the tripod to stop people going near it but people were respectful and stayed away from where the camera and tripod was. There was a few risks which didn't come up like people didn't throw any drinks into the crowd which allowed us to keep the equipment safe and we stayed in the corner of the room when extending the tripod which avoided people knocking it or getting pushed into it.

LO1 - Crew and Actor call sheet

LO1 - Shooting Schedule

We only filmed the band at one location which was at corporation but it was the perfect opportunity to not only film them headlining the event but to get an interview backstage with a perfect setup where we could fit all the band in which would lead onto them walking out of there to head onto the stage. The advantage of getting the interview before they actually go out is that we can see what there reactions are like and get them to tell us what they're feeling like before they head onto stage to play in front of a big crowd. The filming was spaced out over the night by a few hours when we was there as we had to wait for the other bands to finish which they hyped up for the crowd for the main headlining band.
