Preliminary Task: Post Production

After having produced the footage we used a computer in school to edit the video using Adobe After Effects. As this programme was new to all of us we weren’t completely confident with the editing stage and it took a little while to figure out how to do some things. After having decided on which footage we were using, we drop and dragged them onto the programme were we put them in order and cropped them. We then imported the music and placed it underneath the clips, trying to get the footage and audio in sync.

 When watching the video back there are definitely errors such as the fact that at 0:17 the audio becomes quiet momentarily and the hashtag that appears on the screen at 0:36 shouldn’t transition into the next shot. When editing our actual video we will have to take the time to educate ourselves about Adobe After Effects so we can easily rectify any similar problems.


 This was probably the stage were we learnt the most as we have acquired some basic knowledge of the software, although we still need to drastically improve our editing skills. I think one of the most prominent things which stands out over all three areas (pre production, production and post production) is the fact that we need to spend more time on everything and not just do the bare minimum.
