Create the extract for an original TV programme or short film by applying post-production and editing techniques
The editing of this show was live. It was recorded in a multi camera studio and cut live to the script using a vision mixer. This meant we did it all as one take and there was no basic edit required. Each Camera on the was connected to a button on the vision mixer, this meant that I could click on a button to change what camera/angle could be edited into the live sequence being made. This was fairly easy to do since each member of the team were following the same script, so all knew when the I was going to cut to which camera so that they could set the shot up ahead of time and I could easily transition between shots.
Edit 1
Targets all the way through :
Fix lighting- make brighter
Fix so that both sound channels are heard
Get rid of blanks in it at 28 secs and 01:27 secs
Cut out repetition
Why do these changes need to be made? The lighting needs to be made brighter because at the moment the lighting makes the scene look dull and drab where as in comedy the lighting should be more bright and vibrant to connote fun and life, like the scene lighting and colour palettes I researched.
The sound channels need to be changed, so that the audience can understand what's being said and cant get the jokes.
The blanks need to be removed because they aren't interesting and don't follow any of the codes and conventions of comedy and just confuse the audience. This is bad because this scene is the disruption part of the episode, which is key to the linear structure, and the more the audience get confused the less funny the show becomes.
The repetition needs to be cut out because it's not a purposeful repetition, such as a catchphrase, it is just a mistake that again could confuse the audience. Also, apart from these repetitions everything else matches up pretty well to my story board (apart from some of the timings of shots but I cant fix them in post as there is no footage to replace it with) and removing the repetitions will make sure the footage matches the story board. For example at 1:30 it repeats the condom throwing sequence, the video repeats shots 6-9 on the story board and one of these needs to be cut out.
Making the VT
Edit 2
Targets to fix for online edit:
Insert VT
Make sure lighting is fairly consistent
Sync up the audio
Why do I need to make these changes?
I need to insert the VT so that the audience can gain an Idea of what kind of show it is, since the beginning is quite dramatic, the title sequence should give the audience a better idea of what genre the show is and what style of comedy it is. The VT is also on the story board between shots 5 and 6 and this is where the gap to put the VT is.
Now that the lighting is fixed somewhat, ensuring that it is consitent is important so that the energy it connotes isn't inconsistent and still creates a sense of irony against the drama of the scene.
I need to make sure the audio is all lip synced so that the quality of the video is consistent and what the characters say is in relation to the actions they are making.
