Video Production

Video Production

The brief specifies that the website must incorporate an original video that we must produce for it. I have decided to do this in the form a video for the homepage, a sort of advert that could also be used for the TV.

Idea
My Idea is based around my slogan "Comedy 4 Everyone" and extending this to fantasy extremes of even pets watching the channel and being entertained. I am going to use gold fish in there bowl watching the TV as my initial idea, the fish will have a voice over and be talking to each other about the channel and its shows. I would also like to incorporate some sort of comedy into it and make it funny, in order to keep it linked to my channel and make it entertaining for the viewer. The way in which I intend to do this is by making a Cat interupt the fish and then speed up the footage with a comedy style music track overlayed.

Setting
This will be set in my home kitchen with the fish bowl set in front of the TV,with one of the channels comedy shows playing on it to give the idea of the fish watching it.

Storyboard
This is the storyboard I created in order to help with the shooting of this video.






























Shooting Schedule
Here is the shooting schedule for the entire shoot.



















The Shoot
The shoot took place on the 11th January, all went well, and I managed to get all the shots that I enquired. I used for this a Handycam, due to the fact that this will just be a low resolution video for the front of a website as well as the fact that it is the only resource I had access to at this time.


Behind the Scenes
Here is a video of the voice over recording.



Post Production
To create this I took the footage into "Pinnacle Studio 12" as this had to be completed in my own time and is the piece of software that I have on my Home PC. It is a very easy to use piece of software that still offers all the professional capabilities that I required to make this Video. I required to cut together the shots as well as change the speed of shots, add music an end title, as well as overlay the voice over which I recorded separately with the actors, and be able to overlay the soundtrack music. This piece of software enabled me to do all of this professionally and with a couple of nice transitions I could use and the ability to export it to a web and device friendly format it was exactly what i needed.

To Conclude
I feel that this is exactly what my site needed and has allowed me to complete the requirement in the specification. I have shown this to quite a few people and it has had good feedback. This can now been posted on my websites homepage.

The Final Cut
This is the final cut of the video that will be incorporated into the homepage of my comedy TV channels website.
