Sync sound with video

In this session, we were shown how important a clapperboard is to a production and in post-production. As this was a Mac session, we was given a video and various audio clips so we had to put the correct audio with the video by looking at the details on the clapperboard.

e.g.

Roll     Scene    Take
1              2          4

With the information above you can search for the correct audio.I found this practice very usual as it can be stressful if you are given a project to edit but no guidance of what audio goes with what video. In the future I will always take a clapperboard with me to every production as I know its an important device to have.

Sound equipment with camerawork

With the Canon XF100 camera, we hooked up the Zoom H4N by using a XLR cable. The reason why we did this is because we wanted to use shotgun mic whilst trying to capture video and sound at the same time. This will save time in post-production if you don't have enough to edit a project quickly. This technique is usually used for interviews, television events etc.

We got introduced to wireless 'radio' mics and how to set them up by using a receiver. We were told how set up the two devices and how to attach the mic onto the contributors correctly with consideration.

Green Screen footage - Avid Media Composer

After the green screen session, there was another session shortly after that focuses on special effects when using green screen on Avid Media Composer.

To create effects, add a video track then edit the green screen clip on V2 on top of your background video. Move the monitor icon onto the V2 track. Click on the 'effects' on the left hand box.

Steps below:

Click

'Key'

then

'Spectra Matte'

then

Drag the Spectra Matte on your V2 video.

then

press the 'Effect mode' button

End.

It gives you many options to give your special effect video a interesting look e.g. color, contrast etc. Using it correctly will make it believable.

I was impressed on how simple using green was and I now know how to use it effectively by following these tips.

Green Screen

Workstation (Introduction to green screen)

• 3 point light as a start up set up for green screen 

• Spill light is a major issue as part of green screen 

• Green is used because it's a colour that doesn't match the skin tone 

• light the green screen first and then the subject to avoid spill 

• key light, fill light and backlight 

• Use back light to get rid of chroma key 

• keynos diva lights

Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind

On Monday 19th January, Group C met two organizers from Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind. For this module, we are working for the organisation to make a 'viral' video for two activities the place hosts. First of all, they told us about the organisation and they are self-funded. The showed us the different types of blindness and how they differ. This got me motivated to make a good quality video as people need to be aware of the place because its a place where people can go to make friends with others who suffer the same condition as them. The Society host a cookery session and a singing session.

In Group C there is four separate groups, two of us are focusing on the cookery session and two are focusing on the singing session; my group decided to pick the singing session as we have a good idea on how to film it and make it powerful. Our viral video will be short as if its too long, people may not watch. We want people to share the video on social media sites and this will help get the word around about the organisation.

The filming will commence next Wednesday (28th January) and production will last 45 minutes.
