Post Production Diary (Better Health)

Continuing to develop and experiment with my audio from yesterdays session, currently I am planning to only use the treadmill audio as it is loud and recognizable as a treadmill as appose to the weights which don't make much sound and would be unrecognizable without footage. I think the cross dissolve transitions don't match the aesthetics of my advert, therefore I am going to remove the transitions in the final version. I will most likely record more audio from the gym as I don't think my current material is enough for an entire radio advert.

I recorded the narration for my radio advert using a DSLR camera and mic whilst in room 127. I initially struggled with setting up my mic and camera but I managed to fully record my script. I also attempted to edit my audio and music in Adobe Audition but I experienced technical difficulties and therefore was unable to play my audio.

I have compiled all of my audio and have now completed my radio advert. I have also continued work for my final poster. 

The original poster in the middle was changed due to the large amount of empty space, my solution was to make the silhouette larger as well as adding a darker green circle behind the silhouette using the ellipse tool, I did this in order to further draw the audience to the silhouette and to add emphasis, this is the first time I have used the ellipse tool. I used the text tool and experimented by using different fonts and colors in order to make the writing stand out from the green background, I used "Deja vu serif" as the font and used black for the color. I experimented with the layers on photoshop which allowed me to change elements of the background or foreground without effecting the other elements of the poster.
One criticism I saw of my poster was that instead of the silhouette I should have a model instead, I disagree with this however as the silhouette is intentionally suppose to be vague so that the audience can view themselves in that role. I created a mock-up in response to the feedback featuring a model in the place of the silhouette.





For my radio advert, I used adobe audition to compile my audio into one file. I layered my narration on top of my sound effects and music that I downloaded from "free sound", later I attempted to balance the audio levels from the separate tracks to make sure that the audience could hear my narration clearly as appose to the sound effects and music drowning out my audio. I exported the audio into premier pro and uploaded the finished product on YouTube. It took me multiple attempts to import an image into premier pro for a thumbnail, eventually I moved the text from the top of the thumbnail to the bottom as a solution to the problem.

Production: Skills Development (Health)

  Shots  https://youtu.be/DulNxPLSFmA This project was a video in which we used different shot types and labelled them in order to learn how we could use said shot types in future projects. For this project we used a Cannon camera, a tripod attached to a dolly and our SD cards. The first issue we encountered during production was how we used our SD cards; we had the footage for different shots on two separate cards which made uploading and sharing the footage more difficult. When it came to editing the video in Premier pro, I accidentally deleted my footage on multiple occasions and had to recreate my video multiple times. While working on this project I learned to not use multiple SD cards on a single project as well as how to edit footage in Premier pro (primarily how to use cross dissolve transitions and add text on top of footage). Western Shootout This project was to attempt to recreate a western shootout from an old western movie. We shot the footage outside using a trip...

Project Rationale (Canon)

  Canon Pitch Presentation This is a pitch for my Canon project based around the concept of a “journey” which includes a poster, magazine cover and editorial promoting Canon products. My target demographic for this project are people between the ages of 16 and 26 who have used Canon products previously and defines a “Journey” as a adventure or trip to another place. With my audience in mind I have designed a poster concept and a magazine cover promoting Canon products. Canon Canon.inc is a Japanese company located Ota, Tokyo, they specialize in optical technology such as cameras, medical devices and printers. The company was founded in 1933 by Takeshi Mitarai, Goro Yoshida, Saburo Uchida and Takeo Maeda under the name “Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory”.  In 1936 the “Kwanon” (Japan's first 35mm focal-plane-shutter camera) camera prototype was developed which they would continue to innovate on over the next 20 years. Shortly after the Kwanon’s development, the company w...

  Researching the Client Canon.inc is a Japanese company located Ota, Tokyo, they specialize in optical technology such as cameras, medical devices and printers. The company was founded in 1933 by Takeshi Mitarai, Goro Yoshida, Saburo Uchida and Takeo Maeda under the name “Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory”.  In 1936 the “Kwanon” (Japan's first 35mm focal-plane-shutter camera) camera prototype was developed which they would continue to innovate on over the next 20 years. Shortly after the Kwanon’s development, the company would be renamed to Canon. Canon became a symbol of Japanese technology during the 60’s which perpetuated the idea of Japan being more technologically advanced than other parts of the world. The original name of the company was Seikikōgaku kenkyūsho, however after the creation of the Kwanon, the company would rename to Kwanon which would be changed yet again in 1947 to Canon which is similar to a term in Buddhism.  As of 2023 the company crea...
