Final Ident

Editing Process

This first image shows a screen shot in which I imported my clips. As I was using a digital camera, instead of analogue, I did not have to 'capture' the video information; instead, I had to import the files from the camera which was plugged in via USB. 

My files were then uploaded to the computer and could be put into Sony Vegas Pro. I previewed the footage that I imported into Sony Vegas and I selected which clips I was going to use for the final edit. I then placed these files onto the video track in the order that they would appear. 

Below is a screenshot of what the timeline looked like when I selected which clips I was going to use and placed them in order:

I did not need to use any sound from the video as there was music going to be played over the top. I located the sound track for the videos and put it on mute as shown below. I decided to mute it instead of deleting the track as I used the sound frequently to hear what I was saying within the video about what was about to happen.

Upon cropping a video, I used the shortcut ('s' key) on the keyboard which saved a lot of time when splitting the footage. The image below shows the timeline when this action is being taken out, as the grey line indicates where the clip will be cut. 

I also decided to speed parts of the footage up so that the video wasn't slow paced. As I was solving a Rubik's cube, I wanted to show it in a fast pace to show the action takes a lot of time. To speed up/slow down a clip I had to hold 'ctrl' and stretch the video clip. This achieves the effect of speeding up the clip.

To show the video clip reversing I then had to right click on the clip and select 'reverse'. This makes the clip play backwards. As I recorded the video doing all the actions backwards, it looked as though the actions were taken out normally when the footage was reversed.

Once I reversed all of the clips and put them together correctly, I then had to add the music. I imported the music the same way that I imported the footage (File > Import > Media). I then had to drag the music onto the timeline and crop it accordingly so it was not too long or too short. 

I then decided that I wanted to fade in the music as it didn't sound good if it started straight away. This also mimmicked my actions as I don't suddenly start the Rubik's cube but I walk in from the side of the screen. To do this I selected the top left corner of the music file and then dragged this part along which created a wave; this causes the music to gradually get louder.

When I was finally finished with the edit and happy with it I needed to export it. As I often use Sony Vegas for video editing I already had a custom format to export the video to. As I knew that I was going to put the video onto YouTube I decided to export it in 1080p HD which is the best quality to upload in. 

AS2 Task Five – Pre-production Planning

Proposal Prepared by Jack Fox

I will be producing an ident for the television channel E4. The ident will be recorded and then played back in reverse. The reason for this is because the person within the ident will be 'solving' a Rubik's cube whilst blindfolded. The only way I can achieve this is by starting off with a solved Rubik's cube and then moving the colours into the wrong order. When I then play the footage back it will look as though it is being solved with a blindfold on. To make it more convincing I will have someone walk past in the background backwards so that when reversed it looks as though they are just walking past normally.

Contingency Plan

Potential problems and how to overcome these problems: Wires on floor - Make sure I tidy up the vicinity before filming. Tripping on wires is dangerous so they need to be taped to the floor or tucked away. Water could be spilled - Make sure the glass is on a steady table and is not about to overflow.
