Editing Workshop 4

-

Today was our final editing workshop where we went over some of the things we had learnt in the previous workshops and were taught how to fix an audio clip with background noise in Audition CC 2015. We learnt how to create a title page and insert it into a sequence. this is helpful for when I need to create a title or end credits for my productions. We were also taught how to remove background noise from an audio clip. After opening the clip in Adobe Audition, we selected a small section of the noise we wanted to remove, used noise reduction and then changed some setting until it sounded the way we wanted it. We practiced colour correction with certain clips from Fairly Legal, some had a slight blue tone where others were more orange and the colours had a much higher saturation. By using the three-way colour correct, we changed the settings to match up the colours as much as possible.  The ripple delete tool can be used to cut down or lengthen a clip, it can also be used to match up audio and it good for removing repeated words. This tool changes the length of the whole sequence. The roll tool can be used on audio or video, it can be used to make a video clip last a bit longer. This can be useful when you want to deemphasise a cut in the video or if you want a clip to last slightly longer after someone has finished speaking.

Writing a Script

-

*A screenplay only tells us what we can see and hear*  Important things to consider are  Title page - which should contain the name of the story, the writers name, draft date and contact details which are important if you are handing out your script to people. Scene headings - the scene heading should state whether it is to take place inside or outside using INT. or EXT. It should also contain the location, e.g. BEDROOM, HOUSE and time of day - DAY/NIGHT Action -  The action under the scene heading should contain enough detail so that the reader can picture the location or action but concise enough that it is just a long paragraph of description, it should also be written in the present tense.  Characters - when introducing a new character, their name should be written in capital letters so that the reader knows they are a new characters. If the character is not in the scene but can be heart or are a voice over, then (V/O) or (O/S) should be used.  Dialog

Scott and Bailey - TV Drama

Scott and Bailey is a British crime drama focusing on the lives of two female detectives. DC Rachel Bailey and DC Janet Scott are not only work colleagues but close friends, a main part of the story is their relationship and the problems they have.  In each episode, there are 3 to 4 different story lines, the main one being based in the police station, centred on a crime and the others about the personal lives of the main characters. For my script, I would like to do something similar, I want to have the main story line revolve around a major case they have given, and then the personal lives of my two main characters, Shane and Annie.  The characters have many flaws that are pointed out in multiple episodes. For my character Shane, I want his flaws to be quite relatable. Through his dialogue and mannerisms, I want to reveal to the audience that he is wary of new people and finds it hard to trust them and that he is also emotionally immature and afraid of commitment b

I chose to be the director of photography (DOP) because I feel the over the course of the last two years my camera and lighting skills have increased greatly and I wanted to focus of those skills more in my final year. To fully immerse myself into being a DOP, it is important that I researched deeply into the role and what it would include. Being a Director of photography "includes creating the visual identity, or look of the film/ tv programme, they work with the Director, camera crew and lighting department to achieve this and they manage all aspects of filming, from ordering and overseeing equipment to reviewing footage." (Creative Skillset, 2017) My main tasks will include creating the overall look of Young & Famous and putting into play the vision of the director. I will be focussing the camera and lighting aspects of the role and make the technical decisions as well as some creative ones. Framing: for this, I will work closely with the dir
