Two weeks ago on the friday instead of the wednesday (because i didn't get the opertunity on the wednesday while out with Phillip Mizen by the park at the sports centere i had the opertunity to take one of my photos for my material for the intro. The photo was the one one of a man pointing up at the sky by the road at spacecausers in the sky (editing of photo to insert space saucers). Because it was quite dark the scenery and setting was perfect, maybe the sky could be turned pitch black and the treas removed, phills posture was fine. The next week, during a media lesson i decided to take a selection of photos and a video for the material for the intro. I decided to use Vasco Xu, Sammy Radley in my work instead of my origonall choices because they decided to opt out. Though it turned out well, i first did the video with Sammy, because Vasco was buisy, after a few rehearsels of the lines he got it right. We did the final video in one take, i decided to film it sideways because it looked better and the window was more visible (so i could edit in alien face). I took a photo of Sammy in the same position with the same video camera fro the ending shot after the video. Though i wasn't entirely sure how i would turn it the right way round in final editing together. Then once Vasco was free I took a number of photos of them siting behind a desk with only apropriate clothing (mainly black), I took my shots from a variety of different positions and angles so i could get the right shot. My shots looked good and clear, so i was happy with them. Later that week at home i got my old primary school homework diary and designed a paper cover with the word "Top Secret" and no entry symbol with a space at the left for credit. Then placed it on the top of the book, wrote the words "No One Must Ever Know" on a page. Then filmed myself opening the book then zooming in on the words on the page with my HD video camera. Towards the end of the week i met up with phill at his place, using his Key Board he played me a number of tunes to the style i asked, i then recorded using my phone the ones i was most pleased with. That weekend i started to put my piece together with the media i had created. I could only do this once the videos i had done had been sent to a friend of mine for conversion. Once the videos where in the correct formate importing them wasn't a problem. First i imported all the media, pictures, sound and video. I first added the sound track, which was a combination of various recording that phill had played. Then i put the video of me opening the book on the first slide, removing the diagetic sound. Adding the credits was interesting, i found the correct font and size easily enough, i experimented for a bit, eventually placing the text exactly how and where i wanted it. Then i added the still image, i had a seperate apearance of the credit from the first slide, but withought the entrance effect, to show continuety. Then i needed to edit the image before placement, i used the background from the first still, and after cropping placed my image of Sammy and Vasco ontop of the background in black and white. Then after inserting a blur transition effect, i edited alien faces searched from google images onto the faces of Vasco and Sammy, turning the alien faces from black and blue to grey aswell. I had a credit much like the on the begining still image, entrance effect, then no entrance effect. Then i inserted an image of a flying saucer which i made sephia, with added credit. Then i inserted the video of vasco talking, his voice could be heard over the soundtrack, which was good, the credits i added where also visible. Then i inserted the still of sammy, with continuation of credit. Then i inserted the same alien face from my previous image at the window. Adding a blur transition between the two images. Then i had a final image that took some editing, inserting flying sausers that would be one colour compared to the rest of the image, making the sky all one colour was tricky. I added a credit to this image to. Then i copied all the still images in order of apearance and made stills of the videos and made them all one second long each, so it would creat the flashing effect. Then i added my final credit in large text in the apropriate font and size with a zooming out effect. In the end it all looked rather good.
After i showed sir my work he was very pleased, he said it had good continuation and was like my plans. Though he said i could make some changes, like editing out the pixelation and making the soundtrack not so live.
So i went back to editing, i decided i would re record the whole soundtrack and one sound piece in equaliser setting powerful, so it woulden't sound so live. When i showed sir he said the sound worked.
After talking to my friend i found out it would be better if i made the changes myself. After using the paint brush tool to create a smooth edge around the pixelation and even out the colours, it was easier than i thought.
The only final changes i made where to clean up the fuz at the beggining of the sound clip.
