Pre-Production Video

For our group, we made a video of Gabbie and Didi talking about the different sheets we have produced, such as the production schedule, characters and their costumes, and we also filmed them talking about the location of the courtyard, classrooms and corridor. I edited the short clip on iMovie, then uploaded it onto my Youtube account. Using iMovie, I was able to add different titles, transitions, and other effects to our clip. As well as the locations and the printed sheets, I also added the music. One of the pieces of music that was put in was composed by Max, and will be used for Charlie's imagination scene, for when he imagins himself leaning in for a kiss with Gabriella. I also added the music which we might use for our montage scene. I have added both songs, so everyone can see which one is better, and which song would fit that part of the film. The music for that part was done by the artist, Shaheen. As well as Max and Shaheen's music, I also added the songs which our group might use for the second last scene, when we see Max preparing Charlie to go up to Gabriella, and Charlie is acting all cool, as well as dressing a bit more cool, unlike his geek outfit. The songs which go into consideration for this scene are by UnkleJam.

This is short clip that I edited and filmed, which shows all of our pre-production: (To view it bigger, click on the button on the bottom right)


These are the screen shots for when I was editing the short clip in iMovie:

All:
- This screenshot shows all of the iMovie application. You can see the video files at the bottom, and everything around it.

Selected Parts:
- Here, you can see which part of the video file I have used in the video. Where it has an orange line at the bottom, that shows it has been selected, and where there is no orange line, that shot has not been used.

Titles:
- This screenshot shows the options for selecting the titles. In iMovie, there are around 20 titles that you can change and edit.

Editing Titles:
- Once you have selected the title you want, you can then edit the size, colour, font and boldness etc.

Transitions:
- Similarly to the titles, you can choose from a range of pre-loaded transitions.

Music:
- When editing the short documentary style clip, I was able to add different songs and music. I created my own playlist in iTunes called 'Smile' which consists of all of the songs we might use in our 5 minute film. You can then drag it into your iMovie 'Project' so it fits in with a piece of video.

Sound Editing:
- Once you have put the music in place, you can change the volume of each of the different sound tracks. For example, in this video, I had to raise the volume of the dialogue because compared to the music, it was not that loud.
