From the beginning of creating the preliminary task we only used one programme to do the whole production on which was Adobe Premier Pro, which allowed us to cut certain shot to help run the film smoother, helped us to remove background noise to make it easier to here the dialogue and many other tools. Whereas for our final media project we had used several programmes to help us make our production to look as professional as possible, we has the privilege to use Premier Pro which we had experience on after using it for our preliminary task, but also we got used to the tools on the programme Adobe After Effects.
For our preliminary task we included very basic effects and editing to our film, as we didn’t have much time to produce it and it was our first project to start off with. We included a main title and for the conclusion of our film our names showed at the end, using the ‘add titles’ tool on Premier Pro, we chose a rough font that we liked, however the tool didn’t do as well as we thought, it made our text look dull which therefore made it come across as highly unprofessional, the reasons for this is the tool only allowed us to change the font, colour or add a fade which wasn’t much. On the other hand, for our final project we had the chance to use a more professional programme for our text, transitions and entrances. The programme allowed use tools such as rotation, positioning, scale and opacity, compared to Premier Pro, After Effects didn’t restrict us to make the text look more professional for our titles.
Compared to the preliminary task, our camera work improved drastically as we got used to all the equipment that we used, the functions that were on the camera and the software that we needed to upload all the footage. The equipment that we got used to quickly was the wheeled tripod for when we were on the move and had to film, the tripod etc. Using all this equipment made all the footage looks more professionally done which made us more positive for a great quality outcome.
In the process of creating our production logo, we experimented with all a variety of tools and affects that were available to use in Adobe After Affects which made the whole procedure very exciting for us, as we haven’t used a software like this before. We used the software to help us make the transitions with each shot and cut to be smooth and effective, whilst doing this, we attempted to include the music within the film, successfully the music went great with all the footage which altogether made the film more engaging.
After watching both openings, the preliminary task “Out!” and our final opening sequence “A Twisted Obsession”, you could tell there was a major change with the quality, camera movement and editing. I felt that we progressed very well after creating our preliminary task because it helped us to focus on the skills we had to gain in order to create a professional opening sequence which we have productively done.
