Sophie Gibson Media Year 2 Regional Identity

 This is my contributor release form which grants me permission to use Chris' narration within my project. This is now a part of my final product and issues of copyright or fair use will not be a problem. 

  This post contains my script. I originally did not have one or intend to write one but my audience feedback has told me that this is something that would be worthwhile including. As said on other posts, I did not want a narration over the entire video. Instead, short sections of narration will be included that give the video more context but don't remove the focus from the visuals.  SCRIPT- SUNDERLAND CULTURE PROJECT Introduction to the piece 0:00-0:31     Sunderland     We are one of the three big cities in the North East of England and are coming together to make a big change within our community.     We have plans to advance- creatively, collaboratively and culturally. With places, buildings and monuments that are rooted deep within Sunderland's history, take a journey through the city's past, present and future to find out why we are bidding for City of Culture 2025. Sunderland's past- 0:32- 1:41 (approx 50 sec)     Ship building,...

I have gathered some feedback on my finished product and will make the final amendments on this. This will make my final product better as I will be able to gauge what my audience liked and what they thought I could change about it. I sent out a form via google forms to request this information.  This is the first export of my finished product; I was able to obtain feedback on my video from two classmates as a conversational style focus group. Here I asked what works well and what could be improved. I found that from their feedback, it was worth adding in a narration in order to give more context to the piece. Chris had also spotted a spelling error in the video which I had overlooked.  My focus group: https://youtu.be/amU_awdOK7s As well as this, I also put out a survey and asked the same questions.  Upon reviewing these responses, I have found that half of them have recommended a narration to go over the top of the video, which was also the case for my focus group....

  I created a video just over a minute long which gives a feel to what my final product could look like. I then gathered feedback on this which will help in my production and final edit. I was able to find out more about what audiences wanted and expected from my product. First draft video: https://youtu.be/GlOH4LN9RE0 I asked for feedback via google forms and asked a series of questions which help me understand what exactly works in the video and what could be done better. I will be making changes to my project based on the feedback received, this is mainly relevant to the introduction of my video. As there was a suggestion to improve the intro, I will be story boarding an intro that I hope will be more gripping and interesting. As the draft video just gets straight into the main body of the video, I want to make sure that I have a good introduction to my bid video as it is something my potential audiences have picked up on.  I have also realised that maybe my ...

 This post contains all of the information that is in relation to my post production phase of the project. This includes my editing process, response to feedback and any rough work in this area.  16/03/2022   Today I edited the video footage that I shot yesterday. This included: Stadium of Light, Museum and Metro. I started experimenting with the footage and brought some aspects of my storyboard to life such as the transition between the tram to metro / museum screen to cinema screen- these have been some stand out scenes since the very early stages of this project and feature in my pitch. I was also able to add to scenes that I planned in my storyboard but add more effects such as the lens flare which makes the scene a lot more interesting to look at. This is the case on the Stadium's Sunderland Badge where it looks like the sun is reflecting off the sign but is just the lens flare feature on Premiere Pro. To give it this effect, I turned down the opacity to ju...

This post contains all the relevant information relating to the planning, production and shooting of my project in a diary style. I go through each day of production and what I had achieved that day as well as how this was carried out.  14/03/2022 For my project, I am planning to conduct and include some interviews for my bid video. I have planned out some questions to ask interviewees, which I will be able to include as a kind of narration over my montage. I'm hoping to record some of them in front of Sunderland Culture owned buildings such as The National Glass Centre or Fire Station to promote my clients values.  15/03/2022 Today I went out and started filming some of my projects. I have a list of places that I plan to film or try to film and I have ticked 3 of these off the list. I was able to film: Stadium of Light, Museum and Winter Gardens and the Metro Station. I asked at the main desk in the Winter Gardens if it was okay to film and they said it is allowed just a...
