Post 9: Production

In the post production process, first we had to capture our footage on the editing computers and we had to go through all of our footage and log the start and finish time of each shot that we had done and we put this into a logging rashes table which was done on a word document.

After we had done that we looked at the logging rashes table to help us find out what shots we could use in the final sequence and what was no use. We had to look at the angles of the camera and if the lighting in the angle was good. We also had to make sure that there was not too much empty space in each shot and that it was focussed on the people in the shot. Also we had to make sure that the actors were being serious otherwise it would not portray the film in the right way. We then went on to start the first part of editing and by cutting each shot that we wanted to use and we put it onto a timeline and did this with each shot that we wanted to use and moved them together. We had to keep cutting or adding parts to each clip in order for the clip to run smoothly and for it not to jump.

We then went onto the sound editing and made sure that each shot had the same sound level so it would not keep changing throughout the sequence. We had to add fading markers at the start and at the end of each clip. By adding these markers it makes sure that going from one clip to another that there is not a change in sound and that they run smoothly. We also have non-diagetic music coming in the last shot of the girl in the waiting room right through into the credits. We have the music gradually come in to the shot and then it gets a bit louder as the shot goes on into the credits.

We then got our ending shot of a woman in a waiting room and slowed it right down so it hardly moved and we placed it right at the beginning of the clip and we made it darker, we then placed our title ‘Anticipation’ over the image, we used the colour red for our title because it is eye-catching and it will stand out and we then faded it into the first shot of the filming. The credits is on a plain black screen with white bold writing and we decided to show the names at different times, we did a clip of one name, and then we placed the next name in a different position on the screen and faded it each time.
