Post production process report

At this stage of production, I was ready to start editing my Ident. As I have used Final Cut Pro to edit media products in the past, I was adamant that this was an appropriate editing software to use. I had all my footage that I filmed for my Ident inserted into the Mac that I was using with an SD card and I imported every shot that I had filmed onto the software. When I had done this, I looked at all the footage that I had and saw that I had numerous footage.

The first thing that I did was make a rushes video, in which I placed all the unedited footage onto the timeline and save it as one video. Then, I shared it as a master file and uploaded it on YouTube as my rushes video. Then, I made a table for the rushes log, which helped me structure out all the footage that I had, how long each one was and which one I would want to keep and which ones that I felt were not useful. By then, I was adamant that I knew how I could use each footage that I had decided to keep.

 

When this was done, I created a rough draft of my Ident, where I put all the footage that I was going to use in chronological order and added the logo at the end of the Ident. I also added in a transition which cross faded from one shot to another. I put in a blurry effect at the last shot of the Ident where the logo had appeared in front of it to make it stand out. After that, I went on to finish editing my first draft and uploading it to YouTube, then on my blog. I then asked a couple of people to watch my draft and give some feedback on any improvements or changes that could be made to make it look more prominent.
