Final - Music Promotional Video

Linking Audio to Visuals and Applying effects P4 (d)

The audio from the actual shots are on the first audio line. To get rid of the unwanted audio I had to unlink the shot from its audio shown in the pictures below. 

I clicked on the original audio, moved it away, then deleted as shown in the photo below. 

Applying Visual Effects P4 (c)

I used a variation of effects on my video. Below are some of examples of those and how I applied them;

First I went to the side bar on the left where the effect controls were. I clicked on 'Video Effects' and scrolled down to colour correction. 



























I clicked on the effect Tint and dragged it to the clip that I wanted to place the effects on. I dragged it onto the shot of the eye close up. 

I then clicked on the effect and set the amount of the tint that I wanted and what colour.

Producing and reviewing and Applying effects P4 (b)

Below you can see the timeline. On this screenshot the red line in the time line is put in the shot "Back garden dance 2" the right screen there is the clip which I used, so the name of the shot reflects what is happening in the shot. 

Here is another shot where the sister in the red dress is running towards her sister in the black and the red timeline is set on the shot. The right screen reflects this.

Continuity editing is shown below, in the first shot the red dress sister is running from behind the trees and on the next shot she is running past the camera towards her sister in the black facing the fire. 

When editing my film, I used a number of useful tools in Premiere Pro. 
The first tool was the Selection Tool.

It is represented by an arrow. Using this tool I was able to choose clips and then move them by holding the left button of the computer mouse. This made it easier to place clips within the working area and on different lines. 

Also I used the Razor Tool to cut down the clips. To cut a clip I had to choose this tool on the tool panel and then click on one of the clips that I wanted to cut down. This allowed me to cut clips to then delete the pieces I didn't want to use. It is also useful for when you want to apply an effect on one part of the clip but not on the other.

Logging rushes & creating and edit decision list P4 (a)

When I finished filming I copied all the footage onto my computer. An important thing in editing is to rename all the shots that were taken to make it easier to find them. Here is an example of renaming the shot.

After renaming my shots, I had to set up my Premiere Pro Project. Below you can see the settings for the Adobe Premiere Pro editing software.

Here is a screenshot of the project set. All the shots in the shot list are named.

Following Production Processes P3 (d)

In a dance video I had to make the style of the video by using more intense and interesting cuts to attract the target audience. I had to make a lot of cuts and dress my actors in the appropriate clothes to attract people's attention. I also included some attributes of a dance video, these included; different sceneries, the appropriate lighting, the right props and the corrects dance moves that will have a powerful response.  

My main dancer wore all black to help symbolise her characters emotions on loosing her sister.

My second actor wore a short red dress to symbolise the fire and the age difference between the two sisters. 

Below is an example of one of the lenses I used. So by switching from AF to MF I was able to manually control the focus of the camera.

Below is a full map of settings for Canon 7D. From these I mostly used only aperture and automatic settings. 

Following Safe working practices P3 (c)

Here is my risk assessment:

- The first hazard was; Could be burnt or set on fire by the bonfire. People that may have been harmed in the filming of this video could of been the actors and crew. The way to avoid this is to stay a fair amount away from the bonfire as well as any dancing for a joke to avoid falling over and seriously hurting yourself.

- The second hazard was; Dancer could sprain a body part when dancing on un even ground. People that may have been harmed would of been the actors. The way to avoid this is to be careful where you step and wear shoes at all time. In the making of the video we did not wear shoes unless we were off camera. The reason why is it didn't look right with shoes and the dancers just had to be extra careful. We had to remove any prickly objects that she could possibly stand on.
