Post Production

Once the video was captured, the next stage was to edit and merge all the clips together into a narrative. This was an easy task for us as a group as we all worked well together as a group. Sharing ideas and communicating continuously throughout the task, this enabled us to keep on top of the video task to achieve our final result.

 When the video was being made i started making the music for the video. By using Logic pro X i was able to create a breakbeat using loops and sound effects provided by Logic pro X. Once the track was made i had to make sure that the levels for each loop was all matched up. The reason for the matching up was due to some of the loops being a higher tempo in comparison to the others. It did not sound right. I erected the situation by changing the tempo to around 70BPM. This synced up all the samples to flow as one.

The next step was to create the effects and the visualisation within the video. To do such a task i used Adobe After Effects and Final Cut Pro. This was an easy task for me as i specialise and have a keen interest for visual effects. I had to make sure that each key frame was positioned correctly and timed well for it to be synchronised with the footage. With Final Cut i was able to grab some green screen footage and key out the green to give the smoke effects and so on.

Once all the clips were merged along side the effects and music, the final step was to export the file as a MOV file and to burn it onto a DVD for me and my group to present in front of the class.
