Post production report for Ident 1: Wickes

1. The Post-Production Process

In post-production, I used Premier Pro to edit my original ident footage. I then shared the manuscript with the audience and solicited feedback. I was able to discover changes for my idents based on audience input, such as adding music and a voiceover. I then finished my final idents, exported them as MP4 files, and posted them to YouTube.

2. Sound Effects in Post-Production

I searched YouTube for royalty-free background music to complement my DIY-themed ident in a subtle way. Once I had basically found one that I liked, I utilized a YouTube converter tool to convert it to an mp3 file in a discreet way. Contrary to popular perception, I then imported it into my Premier Pro project.

3. Post Production Editing

To increase the quality of my ident, I kind of tried a variety of editing approaches. Some of the photos I took with the camera really were dim, which definitely is fairly significant. So I used the colour board in Premier Pro to brighten it up in a big way. I utilised the cut transition to move from one shot to the very next. As a result, the ident flowed kind of more smoothly, which essentially is quite significant. This would particularly also generally make it literally appear for all intents and purposes less evident that editing mostly was performed in a definitely major way. I used Adobe Photoshop to basically add the Quest logo at the conclusion of the ident by changing the background to definitely green. After that, I saved it and imported it into Premiere Pro, where I used the Keying effect to conceal the actually green backdrop in a fairly big way.

Production Process of ident 1

1. Quest ident - Wickes ident

I had recorded all the footage for the one minute ident, based on DIY and TV remotes, as this was where the focus was. Then I made sure the camera and tripod was set up, in a way that everyone was aware that I was recording so they would not trip over the equipment so there would not be any issues with health and safety. I had then looked at my shooting script to remind myself on what shots to take.

Firstly, I had adjusted the camera's settings and made sure the lighting and focus was correct, I first had filmed the store shots, shots of the shelfs, and equipment. I looked back at my storyboard to make sure I had recorded all the store shots and did not leave out any equipment. While recording I made sure the camera equipment was not in anyone's way, preventing any accidents or problems occurring. I also had reminded the security that I was allowed to film here. One health and safety aspect was that there might be equipment on the floor from the stores, it was made sure that they were identified and made clear not to step over then.

Filming the Wickes ident had went well, with no issues at all. I was able to film the ident within the short time slot I had, and all the shots that I had identified on the shooting script were done. With the production being done, it allowed me to start my post-production, as stated in my production schedule and meet the final deadline. As I followed my risk assessment, there were no health and safety issues.

After recording my footage, I found that one of my clips were blurry, but it was fine as I took extra shots beforehand to counter this. The footage that I had recorded was clear and didn't take too long to focus on the subject.
