In today’s lesson I had completed editing the first draft of my anti-bullying
social action media advertising campaign.
Adjusting the sound levels:
I began the lesson by adjusting the sound levels on some of the shots, as during some parts some shots sounded a lot louder than others, and also the background noise was quite loud in a few shots. I began by adjusting the sound levels on the first scene. This was because there was no audio going on throughout the scene, apart from certain shots where Mitchel’s phone was ringing or you could hear a message pop up on his laptop screen. For these shots I kept the sound levels up, and during the other shots I lowered the sound levels so that you could hardly hear anything going on in the shot. I then adjusted the sound levels on the second scene. Throughout this scene you are able to hear the wind in the background, and this was especially loud during the first shot. Therefore I lowered the sound levels so that you could only slightly heard the background noise, but then kept the sound levels the same throughout the shots were the bullies were speaking. I then went on to do this on the third scene, this is because during the first establishing shot at the beginning of the scene the background noise was very loud and therefore didn’t match up with the other scenes. During the shots where the characters were speaking I adjusted these sound levels so that they were all the same, but a bit quieter then before.
Adding titles:
After adjusting all of these sound levels I then went on to add titles to the end of scene three. These titles include how in some cases bullying isn’t very obvious, and some people may not see that it is happening. I found the information for the 'subtle' bullying title also on the Beatbullying.org website, and therefore credited the website after using the statistic. After this I then added a title at the end of the production which includes the Beatbullying.org website, and also that anybody can visit the website for help and advice on the issue of bullying. Finally after doing this I then downloaded the Beatbullying.org logo off of the internet, and then went on to import and include it on all my titles which I had got the statistics off of the Beatbullying.org website. This is so that the audience can clearly see where I had got the statistics from and this may then prompt them to visit the website.
Placing audio:
The last thing that I had to do after finishing editing all of the shots together and making sure that each shot flows into the next was importing the soundtrack. I played around with the soundtrack a few times, and only put it in the sections where the titles were. After looking over it I decided that the music wasn’t as effective as I would have liked it to be, and therefore I went on to drag the music over the whole production. This then set the mood for the whole production, and added effective in the areas where there was no dialogue being spoken by the actors. After doing this I made sure that you could still heard the sound effects in areas where the phone was ringing, and the messages were popping up on Facebook. I also made sure that you could hear the bullies in scene two, and also the conversation between the two girls and Jemma in scene three.
Exporting:
After doing this I then exported my first draft of my anti-bullying advertising campaign to be marked, and then given back for any improvements that I may need to make. When exporting the footage I had to ensure that I saved it in the right area, and under the right settings because if this is not done correctly it may not play back once it is exported. Although, before doing this I rendered the entire works area to ensure that the production didn't freeze at any point whilst being played.
Although, during the editing of the first draft I had realised that you are not able to focus on one thing in the shot and blur out everything else, and that this needs to be done on the camera during filming. Therefore when the actor is available I will go back and re-film this section for scene one which I will then include in my second draft of my advertising campaign.
