Research into filters and special effects.

Blur, Border, Glow, Colour Correction, Channel, Distort, Image, Key, Matte, Perspective, Quicktime, Sharpen, Stylize, Tiling, Time, Video. These are all types of video filters which are used to make the footage more interesting and put a nice affect over the top of the original footage.

Research into transition types

Cut
The most common transition- an instant change from one shot to the next. The raw footage from your camera contains cuts between shots where you stop and start recording.


Crossfades
Crossfades have a more relaxed feel than a cut and are useful if you want a meandering pace, contemplative mood


Fade
Fades can be used between shots to create a sort of crossfade which, for example, fades briefly to white before fading to the next shot.

Wipe

One shot is progressively replaced by another shot in a geometric pattern.

Digital Effects

Most editing applications offer a large selection of digital transitions with various effects.

Classification

We checked the British Board of Film Classification website to see which category our film fell under, we decided that it would be parental guidance as they were some scenes that may require adult supervision, such as when Lewis stands in the road, which a child may try to imitate. Also Matt stands on a roundabout and sings which is very dangerous and potentially illegal.

Target audience research expectations.

We showed our peers videos which are similar to that of our artists, to see how they respond or react to the videos editing, and general style.
After watching 'The Bay' my Metronomy the audience thought that the editing was very good, therefore we will try to edit our video to a similar quality, however we understand this won't be likely.

We think our target audience are of the same age as us, as typically the genre of music Everything Everything create is most appreciated by our age group, perhaps 15-25 year olds.
Because of this we have established that we must be wearing contemporary clothing, which must also be fashionable, however not 'in your face'. The clothing we have thought of are chinos, wooley jumpers & cardigans (knitwear) & smart casual shoes. We will not be wearing any make-up because we feel this genre of music is quite modest, therefore we must look as honest as possible.

We filmed all our footage on friday and it was very successful and went very well.

Today we are uploading our footage onto the computer and we will start to edit it in this lesson.

We have also finished our test shot so we have uploaded it to our blog.

Shot lists

Storyboards

Location

This is similar to one of our locations, which we will be using for our establishing shot.

Health and Safety

Some of the things we need to consider are:

• Matt skating, E.G Elbow pads, knee pads, helmet.
• Avoid pedestrians when Matt is skating.
• Wear seatbelts when driving to location.
• Careful near river.
• Using candle, so will be cautious around flame.
