Creativity and Post Production

Give one example of how you used digital technology to be creative in post production. Post production refers to everything you did AFTER filming (Final Cut editing/music/adding sound effects). To do this:

1. Find an example in your film and screen grab it.
2. Explain why this is an example of being creative and why you decided to do it.
3. Explain HOW you did it. Be specific. (This is what I mean by logistics.)
4. Evaluate how well this worked?
5. Lastly, compare this to other work you have done. Is this an example of your progession of a skill? Or a reinforcement of a skill you already knew.

An don't forget: Use technical terminology in your annotations.

Sound Workshop and other Blogs

Two points:

1. Sound. Document your sound workshop. Post photos on the sound workshop and answer the following questions?


  • What did you know about sound technology before the workshop?

  • What did you learn at the CLC Sound workshop? (Equipment and it's use)

  • What decisions did you make with reference to sound equipment? Discuss the process?
    - How well did you do? (What went well? What would you improve upon?)
2. Other blogs: By now, you should be well into your filming. Use the opportunity to gain marks for your contributions to construction. See blogs from last year to get ideas. Some are: photos of you filming, emails, screen grabs from upload film, photos from the rough cut, the rough cut and your feedback.
