Today i was finishing up work such as my visual diary and part of my video. When listening back to my video i noticed that there was a large amount of background audio which was distracting and you couldn't hear some of the instructions due to extremely large amounts of background noise. i wasn't happy about all of the background noise so i re-recorded the audio with a proper audio app so i didn't need to turn off the video. I also used the studio to record my audio because it doesn't have background noise.i also

Today i was using Adobe premier to create my video which proved difficult at the beginning but i got better the more i experimented with it. I used the in and out tool to select the parts i wanted to add in to my video this helped to cut out the bits i didn't want. I had problems with the audio not lining up so i used the razor to cut certain parts of the video which didn't line up with my audio. I cut the audio and video in to pieces and deleted certain parts. I then imported the voice over for my video but i didn't have an audio recording app on my phone so i had to video it and turn off the video when dragging it in to my video timeline.

Today we were shooting scenes for our production we started by booking some of the cameras from jack in the control room we then went to a spot near the construction site where we started filming. we filmed various shots for our different videos. A lot of people did videos on shot types so they used the time and space to do some examples of shot types. we then went back to the uni building and brought back the cameras. when we got back in to the uni building I started to finish off some of my location visit sheet. I added on some of the details for example the contact information and picture of the place which I am going to use. After this we went in to the studio and used the cameras to do test shots for Ben I operated the camera and learnt how to use the manual zoom and the manual focus on the lens i also learnt how to position the camera correctly. Also I learnt what it was like when wearing the headset with the microphone and what it was like to experience being a camera man.

Today we were finishing off some of our blendspace entries which includes the location visit sheet, student self evaluation sheet and the glossary and terms sheet. we also learnt some of the basics of Adobe premier pro which is a pro editing software. we are learning how to use this so we can do the editing on our QR code it video tutorial on how to use Photoshop CS6. Some of the things we learnt was how to load up Adobe Premier we learnt that when you load it up you have to check the scratch files are all set to the same option and that you have to change certain settings for different cameras because they film in different formats. also we learnt that if you don't change the settings at the beginning an error code will appear half way through your project and tell you that the read format isn't right and this can cause problems. we then learnt how to import files in to your project and how to drag them in to your timeline. we also learnt that when they are in your time line you can edit them outside the timeline and it will change the project in the timeline as well as in the editing window. we also started to take a look at the text tool how to use it and what certain settings do and how they change the way the text looks i also got to experiment with it I had a look at some of the other effects and found out that Adobe have some pictures or textures that you can pre load on to your text. i also went back in to the studio to go over some stuff that i had already learnt but also i learnt some other new stuff like the zoom on the camera can be change between a manual zoom where you can zoom with the dial on the lens or you can do it with a small switch. i also learnt about the fade in the control room and how the fade can be done using a button and is on a default timer or the person who is controlling the whole set up can do the fade manually by using a handle that can move up and down this allows them to be able to fade out half way but then bring it back in at a random point.

Today we were doing the pre production for a video tutorial. We had to prepare the story boards. We had to write out all of the script for each scene we also had to say what shot we were going to do for each scene also we had to describe what was going to be happening in each scene we also had to include a preview of what was going to be happening this could be drawn or if it is a screen cast we can do a screenshot. we were also filling out our proposal. for the proposal we had to say what our outcome for the end project was also we had to say about the concept behind the project. also we had to write out the evaluation for the project. we also had to include our proposed research sources in a bibliography. we then had to do an equipment booking log to show all of the equipment that we are going to use in our project EG the cameras or a mac. we also have to get Brendan the technician to sign it to authorise that he knows that we are using that piece of equipment. we then had to fill out a contingency plan so we have a backup plan written out if something goes wrong EG someone backs out of being on camera. we also had to fill out a location visit sheet. we had to write down the health and safety hazards of where we are going to be doing our shooting and the location of it we also have to include a picture of the location and a picture of the health and safety hazard. next we had to do a production schedule on this we had to include the days that we were filming and all of the information for what will be happening with the video where it will be and what will be featured in the video EG props or actors. pre production is very important because it allows you to get rid of any problems that may occur in the final filming like the location or the weather it also allows you to get everything ready and be able to see an average amount of money that will be needed for equipment or just food and travel. today we also had to speak to Brendan about the equipment we will need for the video EG the cameras i will probably choose the cannon 70D as it gives a nice and clear picture. we also had to upload our work to blendspace so that it could be checked by delta also there were problems with uploading text files and we had to use drop box to open the text files in blendspace.

Today we started doing the first versions of our storyboards. did mine on Photoshop, we first started the lesson learning about different camera shots. Some of these were two shot, over the shoulder shot and medium close up shot. we used the shots that we learnt to apply them to our story board template. I did my story board digitally because I had to use screen shots from Photoshop to represent what was going to be happening in the video. I also explained what was going to be happening in each scene and I also typed out what was going to be said in each scene we also had to include how long each scene would last. I did this by reading it out and timing myself. also we had to include what we were going to be filming it on I haven't done this yet but will add this in when I finish my story board. I will also add some music in as background music to give some depth to my project. I will also be working with a friend who will be doing the speaking and will be the one being filmed.
