me and charlie's advert

Editing Blog

In my advert I put in fade to blacks to make the advert look more professional and smooth when watching it, I used this because it makes the advert look better instead of the advert jumping from shot to shot. I put fade ins and outs on the guilty scene of my advert to show what he is guilty for which was electricity i did this because it would let my audience understand what the advert is about and not to leave it on because that is what causes global warming. I made the advert slow paced to go along with the sound track which was Gary Jules - Mad World to make it look and feel emotional.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Can't upload this document computer crashed and did not safe my work but i printed it out and its in my Unit 2 folder

Pictures of my advert








Sequencing and effects

In final cut express i used raw footage from cameras that i filmed myself, when the footage was on final cut express i had to use to in and out markers to get the footage i wanted to use, when i did that i dragged it on my time line and put it in the order i wanted my advert to be. if i had made one shot to long i could of used the razor blade tool to get rid of the footage i didn't need. i used fade to blacks in my advert to make my footage more smooth and professional.

Capturing Blog

Scratch disks, you have to click on the final cut express icon and it will come up with reset scratch disk, you then click on it, then it will come up with a paragraph of writing just click ok, then it will come up with a table saying set click on that, then click new folder and write your name, when you have done that click on your name and it will say capture scratch click that then press choose and click ok and then continue. Scratch disks are important because that is where all your work in stored so you have to make sure it is safe or all your work will be lost
When you capture footage on a tape and you want it on final cut express you need to plug in a lead from your camera to the back of the computer and then press file, capture and it will capture your footage, for me it was successful because when i new how to do it, it was fine i could do it every time

Filming and Continuity Blog

i had to make a short film on global warming, i had to do a lot of preparation to do this and a story board so we knew what was happening and how long the shots were going to be and and how editing would be put together. In my advert i used close ups and a long shot, i used close ups to show the importance of what was happening in the advert and i used an advert so you knew where they were and what was happening. I also put sound on my advert to give it a emotional feel as well as making it emotional.
