Production Reflection
Edan-Burrows
Process
• I started off by adding two images to the page, I
chose these images because they look good
and the colours are the same so they contrast
them self's well. I edited the images in
Photoshop I change the contrast to 40%,
brightness to 30% and I added a LUT which I
changed the opacity to 75% of to make it not as
hard. I then added text by using the text tool.
After that I realised that you couldn’t read the
text that well so I put a black box behind it
using the shape tool in Photoshop and then I
brought the opacity down to 10% to make it
more see through this made the text more
visible. This helps the audience to be able to
read what it say as they wouldn’t if it wasn’t
there I added the bottom text from a DVD
cover I found on the internet and cropped that
out, I then added white boxes over the text that
was already there so then I could make it my
own like I did by adding the YouTube logo and
all the other social medias and my own 12
rating. I did this to show all the social medias I
have I also added my user name above the
social medias using the text tool to allow
people to know what to search into those
platforms. I downloaded a font called movie
text and I used that for the top paragraph as it’s
the same style of text I used in my video. I used
guide lines so then I knew where the centre of
the page is so I could get the text in the middle
and so I could get everything lined up where I
wanted to put it.
The tools I used
were the text tool
and the shape tool
and the magic
wand tool
Process
• I started off by added two images one at the
top and one at the bottom to get the size
and layout I wanted in Photoshop, I then
went on to editing those images by adding
just luts to them to give it the same feel as
the video. On the top image I added a teal
and pink LUT. On the bottom image I didn’t
edit it at all because I liked the purple look it
already has. I then went on to adding two
more images working up from the bottom. I
then went on to editing these these two
images with the same LUT but on the image
in the middle I dropped the blacks to 50% to
make the image brighter, the LUT I used was
ASPEN. I added one more image to fill in the
space, I edited this by using the same teal
and pink LUT as the first image. There was a
perfect gap to add the title so I added that
by using the text tool. I downloaded the text
movie text and used that to give it the same
look as the video. Finally I added the DVD
logo and the 12 age rating in Photoshop I
used the magic wand tool to get rid of the
backgrounds. I used the ruler tool to make
sure the images on the right hand side were
the same size and fit perfectly together to
give a straight line in the right hand side.
The tool I used
were the text
tool and the
magic wand tool
Process
I started off by finding out what size a YouTube
thumbnail size is which is 1280x720 pixels and after that
I added two images to get the layout how I want it. I then
edited the images by changing the brightness down to
50% to make the image darker and then upped the
contrast 70% to make the colours pop and then I
changed the colour by bringing down the blues and up in
the reds to make the sunset red. On the second image I
added a teal and orange LUT then I dropped the opacity
of the LUT by 15% so it wasn’t just orange. I decided that
I wanted it like the DVD cover with the white space for
the title. I then went on to adding two more images
witch I edited them using the ASPEN LUT and then the
same for the bottom row to give that white space for the
text I added the text using the text tool in Photoshop. I
did this for the one that is different to the develops of
the thumbnail but I lost the Photoshop file but I did the
same as this.
The tool I
used were
the text
tool
Process
I started off by fining out what size the
DVD cover centre is which is 272 x
183mm and I put that into Photoshop
and the I got a photo I took and put it
on the page and made it the right size. I
edited the image using a LUT for a Sony
camera witch brought out the green
then I added grain to make the image
look older and I brought down the
opacity of the LUT to 70% in Photoshop
I then added text and added a stroke to
it to make it stand out I had to change
the way the text flowed to make it go
side ways I did this by rotating the text
90 degrees in Photoshop, I then added
the 12 age rating and DVD logo I used
the magic wand tool to get rid of the
back grounds to make it look
professional.
the tool I
used were
the text tool
and the
magic wand
tool
Process• I started off by adding all the clips I wanted to use to the time line. I
then watched it through and made all the cuts and trims that
needed to happen to make the video faster paced, after all the
video was trimmed I then went through and colour corrected all
the clips whilst doing this I decided that I wanted to make a little
edit in this with all sorts of transitions and little video effects. I
added a LUT to all the clips in the edit to give it a different colour to
the rest of the video. I also added a Luna fade to the last clip that
helped the video fade to black at the end as it gets rid of all the
light colours and then the dark. I added slow motion to some clips
to get a cool effect going. Then to a part I added some drawings in
to give it a really cool look where all these random scribbles pop up
this gives it a cool look. At the end of the video I found a cool
machine gun sound effect and I put that in and added images from
a photo shoot I did and made the image change every time the gun
was shoot witch gave it a cool effect and a fast paced slide show
showing off my work. I think that my audience would this as it’s a
cool way to show off the images. For the video I made it 1080p
witch makes my video really good quality. I made a compound clip
to make a edit with in a edit so I could add video effects and
changes to the video without effecting the rest of the edit. I used
the blade tool to trim down the video I did that by using “cmd B”. I
used the text tool to add text. I added an adjustment layer so then I
could give a group of clips the same edit. I added the colour
correction by using “cmd 6”, I also used the effects tab to add
transitions and all the different video effects. I exported the video
to a movie file on final cut pro x at 1080x60 HD.
Process
I made a website using wix.com to make a
professional looking website that actually works. I
got a lode of photos that I have taken and I
imported them into the wix software so then I had
all my photos where I needed them. I went though
the images and found a image that looked good to
be the first image you see when you go on to my
website I thought of a city scape image from Leeds
that I like to be that, I think that the image that I
chose works well. I then added a image of me and
made the about me section of the website. then it
goes on to the services that I would do and added
images of the work I have do in those services. Then
I moved on to working times/ opening times and
contact page. I added a gallery of all the images I
have taken and organizes them in to the places they
had been taken. I made a logo for the website and
added it in to the top bar. I used the text tool to add
in all the text. I also used the contacts tool witch
aloud me to chose from a bunch of different
layouts. I also added links to my instergram and
YouTube account so then my audience can check
out more of my work.
