Today was a very boring day as it involved the 'fleshing out of the documentation'. Where i go back through all the written work i have done and make it presentable instead of a bunch of random information spread across the pages like a scrapbook...
This may take a while since i started it today and i have only just explained the change of plan from doing all the videos....

Back on set
I went in to film the over 50's club today. Since it is such a mellow and calm environment, i doubt i will be doing much to the footage itself other than cutting it down and putting it to some royalty-free music. I will use the home-made music for the youth video.

Making Sounds
I am working in a studio today to get the music for the youth video. Since I have all the footage i need for that video, i will make the music and then put the video to it rather than the other way around. This is because there is no need for a particular 'soundtrack' as there is very little plot to he short film.
For the short videos, there will be subtitles to explain what the different events are and what they achieve.

ONE down TWO to go
First video officially mixed !!!!!
It took long enough but I am happy with how it looks. I would like to have used a bit more inspirational music for it but for legal reasons i can't :p for example I would have liked to have added in a U2 track over the top. It doesn't matter though since it could be changed at a later date. The full break down of the video production is in the documentation to assist the final product. I would write down the page number but the pictures keep shifting the page numbers around so best check the contents page lol.
On to the next video....

Making the first video
Having reviewed the research that has been obtained, the most important thing that i have observed is that the external presentation of the DVD has got to be appealing (along with the menu system). There were other, small things, about the way that the video is produced etc, but not enough to particularly hinder my working on the footage. For this reason I have started to mix the videos!!!!
FINALLY!!!
I am behind schedule according to the original plan that was written for the planning and research document but that isn't so much of an issue considering the amount of changes and developments that have occurred since then.
I have started with the opening video. Using the shots that I filmed a while back (before i even started this blog). The footage has come out well and speeds up nicely.
i will use royalty-free music for the audio.

Happy New Year!!!
first of all happy new year :)
Basically I haven't done any work since the questionnaires since it was christmas lol. But having looked through them i can see some very interesting trends that i will write up in the examiners report. The most important one to take into account at this stage is that the front cover of the DVD is very important and therefore I must ensure that adequate time and effort is put into that along with the general videos and DVD production itself.
Something else that i thought of over the holidays was that the music may be an issue. I intend to produce one piece of music for at least one of the videos to show that i am capable of making music (using the skills learnt from the TIME BASED MEDIA module in year 2), however, the chances of me finding enough time to produce three bits of music along with the video may be an issue. For this reason i may use some royalty free music so that it doesn't infringe on any copyright laws. I will go into this in more details in the examiners report.
