Unit 15

  Postproduction Process Once I had the necessary footage, I was able to create a draft version of the idents on final cut pro and then uploaded it to get feedback from an audience. Once the feedback was acquired, I analysed it to identify what areas needed improving from the draft version. With this I identified that the area in which needed improving for both of the idents was the lack of sound. Footage recorded Idents Postproduction edits First, I placed all the necessary footage onto the tracks in final cut pro and then began to edit the footage that was there. This had involved reducing audio clips to fit the needed times scale, cutting out any footage that would not be used and doubling up the footage for some of the scenes in order to make the ident the correct length. These techniques were employed in order to improve the ident and make it fit within the parameters of the scenario as well as making the ident good overall. No special techniques were used in improve the...

Animating The process of animating the stop motion was long as the time available to create the stop motion was inconsistent therefore several intervals of animating the stop motion and then logging on the rushes log was done in order to complete the stop motion animation ident. Due to circumstance not all the shots in the animating process came out perfect first try meaning several versions of the same shot had to be made in order to get a shot that was best for the ident. During the process of animating the ident several documents were created as a means in order to prepare for the next stages of creating the product as a means to save time having to create these documents when they are required. Editing once all the necessary shots had been taken the best clips out of the ones that were created could then be used in order to create the first draft of the ident. The clips were then edited in order to meet the time that was requested via the brief of 30 seconds and was then export...

Animating Before the ident could start being produced, I required the necessary elements in order to make the stop motion animation consisting of the necessary pieces in order to build the sets and sort the needed props out, the necessary Lego characters will be needed for the ident and the necessary script would need to be created in order to complete the animation. Once all the necessary elements were ready the animating for the second stop motion animation ident had begun and in the first session of animating the ident, I had animated all the shots that are on the shooting script. Due to there being time constraints with the creation of the ident I was unable to take multiple versions of the same shot in order to find the best out of what was animated. Editing The footage after being animated was then collected and was then uploaded onto a mac pc in order to be able to create the ident. The footage was then added to the timeline in order to start the process off and from there I w...

 Last week I had completed the second draft created a 1 st version of both idents and got audience feedback for both of them. Then I had completed the audience feedback analyses and identified the useful pieces of information that could be used in order to improve the idents. The objective this week is to improve the idents by adding sounds to the idents in the form of both dialogue for the characters that can be used as well as sound effects for the items that can be seen within the ident.

  Analysis of audience feedback  Ident 1 What audience feedback is suggesting improving? The main recommendation for improving the first ident was by adding sound onto the ident in order to better bring the ident to life as well as a suggestion to improve the flow of the bricks that are being used within the stop motion.   What audience feedback is suggesting was good? The audience feedback is suggesting that the first ident was good and with the flow of the animation and found it comedic suggesting that the first ident had succeeded in its purpose as appearing as comedic and being a good means of transmission for that’s tv.     How can feedback be applied to the ident if possible? In regard to the feedback sound can be added to the first ident in order to improve it but the necessary dates would need to be arranged in order to acquire the sounds necessary. In regard to the suggestion of improving the flow of the bricks that would be more dif...
