Post production

Aidan has now brought his laptop into school with Sony Vegas on it. we have not started to edit the footage into a music video, but Aidan is fitting effects to all of the clips ready for when we come to edit it into shape. so far Vegas is proving to be well worth it, showing much stronger capabilities than Imovie, and the effects of the software are much more effective in scenes such as the CCTV shot and various others. hopefully the software will allow us to really create the right feel for the video e.g. contrast changes etc. also when using Imovie slowing down and speeding up effects can be very sensitive, and hopefully Vegas will prove better than this, if anything needs doing. One scene in particular which i favour with it's added effects is the CCTV scene in which the agent, Harley, appears behind our protagonist. The way in which this is done, is by adding an effect to the original clip towards the end of it where the CCTV shot starts to blur (an effect which is used often). the same effect is then used on the take of Harley stood behind jack, where it starts to blur to show that he is there, then it goes back to the effect into the original clip without Harley. Vegas made this a lot easier to do than Imovie with it's effects. also we had to edit and upload the Vlogs, one of which is now on the blog. Vegas made this easier and more efficient than it would have been to use Imovie. Once this is all edited and handed for our first draft, we will be going over it to look at what needs doing over and improving, and then we start storyboarding the new shots for our improved product.
