Editing
Lastly I began to edit the video using clips and audio recorded while we where filming once they where put together in the correct order i removed the greenscreen and replaced it with images I found from the internet to finish off i used gameplay footage and some royalty free music then creatde some end credits to thank and give credit to everyone involved.
setting up the set and filming
Once the crew know what to do and the date of recording we began setting up the set including the lights camera audio equipment and the greenscreen this involved angling the lights and the camera to make sure no shadows where being cast on the greenscreen and so wouldn't cause problems during editing.
After filming I used Photoshop to create a title screen for the video that would later be used in editing to create the title i used various images from the internet and removed the background from each with the magic wand tool so i could create my own background.

Editing
Video editing post production that joins raw audio and video together
Parallel editing is the process of cutting to a number of different story lines quickly that are happening at the same time
Titles and graphics - often used to highlight scenes for example in scot pilgrim vs the world the graphics are used with fast paced editing
Montage- A collection of related images/videos together for example the movie rocky uses a montage to show the passing of time during the training period this is done by use of different locations, different clothes.
The kuleshov experiment - the effect of changing pieces of film to change the meaning ond gives a different message.
Insert shot- a shot that is from the audiences point of view to draw them into the scene.
Transitions - devolve and cut are the most common and suited transitions to use and dont over use transitions.

Production and Crew
Today had to research and complete a Location recce, Risk assessment, location permissions and talent release:
Location recce - A location recce is a pre-filming visit to a location that you plan to film at to check its suitability. while doing this you must consider lighting, possible interference (Noise Ect.), room for the crew and equipment, facilites available and possible health and safety issues. After i looked round my cosen location I filled out all the necessary form including a rough sketch of the area, the dimensions of the room and possible issues it has.
Location Permission - After deciding that my location is suitable i had to request permission to recorde there this waas done simply by sending a letter to the owner of the property explaining my intention and requesting written permission.
Performers consent - Next i had to make sure my presenter agreed and understood what it is that I needed him to do once again this needed a written agreement from the performer.
Risk assessment - Lastly came the risk assessment. To do this I had to fill out different forms that highlight the different risks that are involved with filming at my desired location stating what measures needed to be put in place to minimise the risk.
later I had to get a crew to operate my camera, lights and audio equipment the people who agreed are:
Jamie - camera operator
James - Sound recordist
Chris - Lighting Technician
I also agreed to help other with their productions:
Jamie - camera operator
James - Sound recordist
Curtis - Lighting Technician
after i had a crew we had a meeting to make sure everyone was up to date and knew what to do.

Pre-Production
5 ideas.
To start the pre-production I generated 5 different ideas for what my production could be about:
-The first was a short, in-depth look into the history of the Deus Ex franchise being told by a presenter and also using short clips from all three games.
-The second was a 30-60 second long teaser trailer for the upcoming computer game Watch_dogs that would show the different features and mechanics each with a short explanation from a presenter
-My third idea was a short promotional video for a new skate park called "The Track" that is opening in the Mexborough area. The video would be a short interview with the owner/founder of the park.
-My forth idea was a review on both the dark knight and the The dark knight rises. the video would break both films down to there key moments, themes and characters and then compare them.
-My fifth and final idea was a music video for the song "The Ghost Of Tom Joad" the video was intended to emphasize the meaning of the song and its lyrics by playing the audio over images and and short clips of the homeless and unemployed.
Why i chose my idea.
Once I had my 5 ideas i had to chose one to produce. After considering all five ideas I chose to proceed in making a short, in-depth look at Deus Ex. I chose this option because I felt it was the most interesting of the five options and it was the option that I personal wanted to do the most.
Treatment.
The first thing I had to do with my idea was write a treatment for it. This consisted of a short overview of the production, a Synopsis of what the video would contain, the style in which it would be shown to the audience and the format and length of the video. To help me do this I did some research on:
-What a treatment is
-How to write a treatment effectively
-What the is porpoise of treatment
script.
once I finished my treatment I had to write a script so the presenter knows what to say and the editor knows when to change scene. This proved to be the longest task so far as all the diologe had to be researched to make sure the information given in the video was accurate and in order.
mood board.
After I was finished with my script I began to make a Mood Board by collection images linked to my production and the Franchise it will be focused on. To find these images I used the internet and magazines I then annotated these images explaining why I chose them.
storyboard.
My next task was to make a storyboard for my video this shows roughly what the video wall look like one it has been recorded and edited. I found this task to be the easiest so far this was the.
Next task:
Produce a production schedule.
Filming will begin on Tuesday 22nd of October.
