- 5. Mood Board Analysis Is there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood • There are several action shots that are taken the moment power tools are used. There are lots of shots of sparks and bright flashes. • Most of the pictures aren’t bright, clear white. They have an orange / yellow tint to them. This fits well with an industrial engineering style. The industry isn’t about super clean, bright modern facilities. How will your mood board influence your final product? • The colour grading of the shots is not something I had considered. I will take inspiration from the colour style and try to implement a theme into my video. • Looking at existing pictures has shown me the types of shots that caught my attention. I found the “action shots” were the most eye catching. I don’t want the viewers of the video to get bored and click off. Therefore I will try and include a range of shots that contain flashes and things with power tools happening.
- 6. Skills Audit Strengths Limitations Using Garage Band to create music. The experimentation with creating music during the audio project was something I found enjoyable. I also have previous audio production experience that will make using the software easier and quicker. Time management. I have found previously that I can let the workload build up. This creates a rush to get the work done on time. I also need to be aware of my personal life. I need to managed my college time so that Editing video – assembly I have gathered experience in and out of college assembling video clips. Not having a full understanding of the software. Despite have greater experience in some areas than in others. I would still say my knowledge of adobe software is limited. If I want to create some effects, I may have to spend time experimenting and learning what to do. This could cause delay to production. Photoshop The one piece of Adobe software I am most familiar with is Photoshop.
- 7. Skills Audit - Limitations • While evaluating my own personal skills, I have concluded some personal limitations: – Time Management: I will try and set out a schedule of personal deadlines for the project that enable me to have some extra overflow time. I will try and plan the project in a way that gives plenty of time for me to make alterations. – Lack of knowledge for software: Something that could slow progress is a lack of knowledge about some features of the software I will be using. Before I start filming, I am going to draft ideas for how the video will flow together. I will look at how I want transitions to look. From there I can figure out if I need to spend time learning how to make particular effects happen.
- 8. Why are you making this project? • Over the past months I have experimented with different types of media. • Overall, I think that the one of the things that went the best was during the audio project. Within the audio project I experimented with creating music in garage band. It Is one of things I have enjoyed the most so far. As a result for the FMP I want to experiment with making more audio. • I have decided to create music to fit with a video. By creating my own music I am hoping that I will be able alter the feel of the music at certain points to fit with what is being shown.
- 9. Hopes for the FMP • During the FMP, I would like to improve my knowledge of Premier Pro. • In particular, for the video I have proposed. I would like to learn techniques that can create good looking transitions. • By the end of the FMP, I want more confidence editing. A career in video editing is something I may be interested in. Learning skills in industry standard software is useful if I do go down that path. • Overall, I wish to create a promotional video that is interesting to view. I also want to focus on making sure it fits the style of the company I am producing it for.
- 10. Strengths and Limitations Strengths Limitations Having existing video production knowledge. I have edited videos previously, although they were a different style I can still use some of my existing knowledge and take it forward. Hopefully this knowledge will speed up the edit process and mean I don’t have to spend ages figuring out how to do things. I don’t have a knowledge of colour grading. -When collecting material for my mood board I noticed a lot of the existing pictures had a yellow tint to them. It created a sort of industrial feel. For my project I want to make sure the shots flow and don’t go really dark to light. I have no existing knowledge of colour grading, so picking it up and getting it right could be time consuming. Limited time in college. I have plenty of time out of college over the easter holiday to go and get footage. The rest of my project production requires me to have access to specific software. I only have access to this software within college. This means I need to manage my college hours well so that I don’t run short of time to do things.
- 11. Potential Research Activities • Create a survey and send it out: – College student responses: • Limited response demographic: All people are the same “young” age and from similar backgrounds. This could limit how well the research ends up working. – Send it out on social media and get a wider demographic of people to respond: Could
