The final production of Strayed Above
The creation of the offline edit of Strayed Above
which haven’t gone through after effects and have masks and
composition added towards are put into a rough timeline of how long the
official product would be. The strengths of using the post production
techniques is that they add a sense of believability towards the product as for
the audience seeing a space background within a window seems like our actors
are in space which in reality they are not. Without the post production
techniques of masking and composting the background and replacing them with
spacey and futuristic elements it would look bland and not real for the targeted
audience also the sci-fi element of the television show will be lost as the
element of space is not seen only mentioned losing the believability of the
show.
The two videos are of the final visual product and then a
time lapse video of me editing the whole thing together which Includes adding
text over some visual effects scenes for the credits. The opening sequence
which is the last minute of the video shares some of the same shots shown previously
but have a filter over them turning it blue to add the effects of Sci-fi and to
also obscure the scenes to make them new and fresh for the audience eyes as
they don’t want to see the same thing again so it has been changed slightly for
the audience. Captain Caine is shown last in this sequence as the music drops
his entrance adds an effect it is also him making an impact since he is the
main character of the show he should be feature last to make the audience
remember him. The shot reverse shot which includes the window being masked with
a space background was added to show the panic of one of the characters and to
show more of the location of where our characters are as well.
The tools used in final cut pro were mainly the text tool and the trim tool to cut out unnecessary elements such as the cut and actions also the make the production flow seamlessly.
The trim tool to shorten clips to be suitable such as the end and start of the clip.
Select tool to pick out certain clips and to either rearrange them or place somewhere else.
The text option that were used to add the credits above the final footage different option do different things such as fading the text or adding a space background with matching text.
Audio levitation to fade the audio so it does not peak and ruin the footage as it either to loud or to quiet. Also to add other elements to fade out the sound because if cut would be jarring so the picture here shows the audio being faded then a another sound is added.
Marketing and distribution of Stayed above. The marketing of Stayed above will include the opening sequence of the show as mentioned in the brief this will be displayed on adverts on the BBC 3 platform as trailers or short snippets or scene from the show saying Strayed Above coming soon. This will also be on other social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube this will entice the audience and will make them go onto the BBC 3 platform and search and watch the show. This will be done by placing the opening sequence onto twitter and youtube and this will allow viewers to share the content to others thus gaining attraction. The stills from the opening sequence can also be used as posters to be placed on Facebook with the opening sequence underneath to let the audience know who is playing who. The opening sequence will be a bit different towards the show actual one as in the end it will feature the log-line and will make the audience question and watch the show to fi...
How meaning is created in Strayed Above The final media product is in line with client brief due to the visual and special effects. The visual effects applied which include creating a mask path around screens , windows as well as compositing footage to fit within a certain scale. The visual effects show the damage of the infrastructure to the spaceship as the screens in the spaceship go dark or down meaning the signal has been lost or damaged as before it was working fine before the explosion. The special effects makeup used within the teaser scene as well show how the explosion of the ship has affected crew members such as Kyle Black and in which shows how life is on board the spaceship as communication systems have stopped working and the crew have taken damage. The visual effects also create a sense of realism towards the final product as the visual effects display different space scenes and mask over windows to give the illusion that the characters are in space as we se...
Resolving Legal and Ethical issues When creating this product legal and ethical issues have to be considered for. Such as the music for the show we cannot take a music track which is not royalty free as this is illegal. This will cause complications for the product which might halt the time of production and also might not be able to even screen the show if copyrighted music is heard without the use of a license. The plot and the story of the show can’t be taken from another SCI-FI show as well as this will be just copying ideas and would be stealing another IP’s content for our gain so we should be able to research and create our own ideas for the show while including the brief which was given towards us. The ethical issues that may arise is the use of our makeup since one of our actors is Muslim the use of proper gelatine will go against his beliefs and wouldn’t be allowed so a substitute gelatine will have to be used when creating our special effects. When c...
