Blog catch up.

Wednesday 4th March

Today was a really productive lesson. After overcoming the first problem presented to myself, which was the fact my mp3 files had not been allowed through on the email, by emailing the IT department requesting the files to be sent through, which they then were, Ben and I captured our filming, and put it on our T-Drive. On the T-Drive was the best place, as we can now both access the clips. We have and will be saving all our work that has potential to be in our final production onto the T-Drive, to make sure we can both access our work. Following the capturing process, we sat down, discussed and finalised ideas, and began working on the very opening sequence. I began to design the logo for "Alien Films" towards the end of the lesson, as well as checking the mp3 files I had sent sounded good.

Today, myself and Ben continued with our work. I made good progress with some of the clips, and have now developed a backing track which includes the sound of our character walking, and the traffic. It sounds flawless, which I am very happy with. I also got some more clips added to the sequence. I finished the "Alien Films" logo and put it onto the sequence and it looks good with the dissolve in and out from it. I used a font from www.dafont.com and edited using the programme Macromedia Fireworks. I got the size right by checking the size of our video clips on Adobe Premier pro, the tool being used for the video editing, and being used along side Adobe Audition to edit and manipulate our audio files. Ben also edited some clips and sound, and produced the "Badman Butch Productions" logo using the same process i used for "Alien Films"

Ben was absent to day for justified reasons. I cracked on with the editing. I manipulated the weird noises I had created at home on Reason using Adobe Audition, playing around with different ideas and effects to get something I felt reflected the mood and tone of our sequence. I did the same thing to some of our video clips using Adobe Premier Pro. I also added more to our sequence, and the opening 40 seconds are now near perfect. I am really happy with how I worked independently and work efficiently as the project is now nearing completion, and is on course to meet the deadline that has been set, Thursday 19th January.
