LO4 - Post-Production - Edits and Transitions report (P6)

 Here is an image of me editing my final idents: 

IDENT 1:

Now I will give a guide on how I used final cut pro to help me edit:

This first screen shot is demonstrating how I had added all the scenes that where filmed that are being used all together to then be able to edit them to the required standard. 

 

I then went online and searched for any Png that would be presented as my logo for channel 4 and went and picked one within all the options and I found that one the most suitable, so I then dragged it onto the desktop to then dragging it onto Final cut pro. After putting the Png above the actual scenes all together, I then dragged it all the way to the end of my ident which ensures that the logo for channel 4 is shown throughout the whole ident. This leads to having the audience aware of what channel they are watching.

I then added transition before I inserted the different programmed that will be shown and even in between. This is purely because I wanted to show the difference from the beginning section of my first ident to the part where I am displaying the fact that the two different channels are going to be shown up next, not far timings from each other. I had done this by clicking the effects icon on the mid right side of the screen and picked this specific transition to put within my sky timelapse. 

Whilst I was sitting with my family, I had taken a video on my phone to show that my family are the contestants that are in come dine with me and that my mother is the current person who is presenting the food seen as she was going up and down trying to clean the kitchen. Considering we cannot use content that is on the tv due to copyright, being able to have the power to use the soundtrack of come dine with me enhanced the support of me trying to convey come dine with me as a programme. When trying to find another alternative I had found a similar sound track to come dine with me so I would have been able to use that if not being able to use the official soundtrack. 

I then added text which was done by clicking the top left icon (the T symbol). Although it wasn't basic title that is shown in the screen grab above, I am showing how I had clicked the T symbol and clicked titles to find the different texts additions I could add to help me demonstrate what programme I'm presenting and to also inform the audience what the programme is called.  

I had refilmed a scene from Ackley bridge which is a programme from channel 4. I then put all the clips together and edited it on my phone then I had air dropped it to the iMac and inserted it. after that I had fidgeted and found a way to lay it out next to the text the same way I did with the video of my family who are acting out come dine with me. I had to then ensure that the background track was accurate which was hard seen as when I said "YOUU", the audio was all together, and they had a long break in-between whereas we didn't when act it out. therefore, I had to cut the audio in half and then places the second half where it lips syncs which was done underneath the videos all put together on Final cut pro. 

Lastly, I then left the time lapse of the sky going in a loop in the background with a little voice over of me saying "stay tuned for more on channel 4". I had recorded it on the mic which was on garage and then imported it onto final cut pro which ensure that it wasn't too much with just graphics and audio but not bland with just graphics. 

IDENT 2:

Now I will give a guide on how I used final cut pro to help me edit:

For my second ident I had done the same exact thing as ident one for my channel 4 logo, but I then went online and searched for any Png that would be presented as my logo for channel 4 and I ended up using the same one from ident 1 but I still followed these steps by dragging it onto Final cut pro. After putting the Png above the actual scenes all together, I then dragged it all the way to the end of my ident which ensures that the logo for channel 4 is shown throughout the whole ident. This leads to having the audience aware of what channel they are watching.

I have shown that these clips are no longer the normal length that they were taken in and rather 2x the speed, this was due to the fact that my filming was too long, and I had to rough it down to 30 seconds and considering I needed majority of the scenes for the ident to make sense I had speed them forward. however, I think it worked out very well towards the end. the second image was me showing the exact same thing happening due to the same reason but mainly to make it look even as it cannot just be one scene that is fast and the rest normal speed. 

This image I had shown at the end of the ident, was to show the audience a visual representative of what my voice over was talking about seen as we told everyone to "grab their milk ... up next is the great British bake off". I had done this in the same way as the Png although, I made the picture and dragged it only the desktop and back onto final cut pro and put it as the main screen, that alone with the voice over and logo is enough to end my second ident off.
