Using open and closing credits

My film needed opening and closing credits to summarise what the film was about and create a start point and end point to the film.These were created in the Flash Premier Pro. These fitted in with my client breif because they summarised my film related to the technical elements of the process of making a front end. It was quite a technical process because I had to work with just text, not video clips and the timeline. I also had to make sure I centered the text,and ensure it included the appropriate fonts and styles. I had to create a text box at the start and at the end of the video. I had write what I wanted the credits to say in the text box. I also had to choose what way I wanted the credits to scroll across. I chose left to right so they were easily readable by the user or people with sight problems.

Target audience - is mainly aimed at people who drive and regularly use car parks.

N/A

Message of the film - to indicate that dangerous driving in public car parks can be hazardous and it can cause dangers to others.

The credits relate to the message of the film because it basically summarises the message of the film and what it is trying to portray.

Technical elements - It will include different screens such as play movie, scenes, outtakes and subtitles.

The credits also are a technical element becasue I am turning parts of the video into a rolling text screen. They have to play directly after the main movie clips have ended and join onto both the start and the end of the movie.

Impact of the film on the audience - slightly humorous so the audience do not get the impression that I am accusing them of being bad drivers.

Using split scenes in Adobe Premier Pro

When using Premier Pro i needed to split up my movie into different scenes. I needed to delete certain parts of the movie and save other parts to split them up. I did this successfully by using the Premier Pro trouble-shooter and the guide. By splitting the movie up i was able to create the outtakes and the different scenes e.g. Scene 1, scene 2, scene 3, scene 4. I did this by deleting the movie up to a certain point, saving the file e.g. scene 1. then opening up the full movie again and repeating the process again but for scene 2.

This was a technical element in producing the front end. Although it had nothing to do with creating the front end. This technical elemtn needed to be included becasue without the movie split up into scenes and outtakes, i would not be able to create my front end

Using a timeline in Premier Pro

This lesson i learned how to use a timeline. This was acquired when creating my movie in Adobe Premier Pro because I had to connect all of my scenes together. The timeline enabled me to add subtitles and put the exactly where I want them. For example, if i wanted the first scene to have subtitles and the second scene not to have subtitles I could create a cut-off point so they wouldnt keep playing in the second scene. I feel using a timeline covers the technical elements in the client breif because without the timeline I would not be able to create the movie and front end.

Converting files to a different format

To have the abilty to edit my video clips in Premier Pro I needed to convert the format of my files saved on the video camera to a format that is compatible with flash. The software 'media encoder' enabled me to do this. Converting files into a different format complies with the client breif because without doing this i would not be able to create my film, therefore not fulfilling my aim. Also I would not be able to get my message across. I had to import each file into the media encoder. I had to choose the correct format to convert it into, this was FLV. I had to choose from a number of different options to ensure the files converted properly and were compatible with Adobe Flash Professional

Creating a back up area

In this lesson I learned how to create a back up area for my movie clips. At first, my movie clips were located in the shared area of the student drive. I needed to create another space for the movie clips so I would have two places to store them. I did this because if my clips were somehow lost, I would be able to loacte them in another area-therefore backing them up. This linked in with the client breif because it enabled me to create my film and met the technical elements.

Transfer footage from camera to PC

To enable me to edit my film, i needed to first of all transfer my files from the video camera to the computer. I had to use a USB leed to process the transfer. This complied with the technical elements of my blog becasue it was a process involving the creation and the transferring of files. Once my video was recorded they were automatically saved on the video camera. I used the camera's USB leed to import the files onto the computer. I double-clicked on the video camera, on the desktop. This brought up all of the files on the video camera. I copied the relvant files onto my student drive so I would have my own copies.
