Post Production Tasks

Task 1
Everything i did for my main product at AS at the stage of post-production

• Edit and move around everything on the front cover
• I chose to change the colour scheme as told from my feedback
• Make my interview longer to keep ,my readers interested and to make it look more realistic
• Change the title colour from pink to red- looks alot better
• Make my logo look more professional
• Improve on my contents page to make it look more professional
• Change my image on the front cover- no direct eye contact
• Use less Glastonbury mentions throughout
• Make a clear connection with my artists image and name on the front cover
• I created a blog os posts to show my progress and to show every idea that i had
• Editing and enhancing images on photoshop to get the best quality picture

 Everything i did for my main product as A2 at the stage of post production

• For the first draft me and Emma used Adobe Premier on her laptop to edit, we planned to use Adobe After Effects on the final video but were advised not to because of the complexity of the program. Not longer after the draft was handed in Emma got a MacBook Pro, so to edit the final video on iMovie which was much easier to use and much less complex than Adobe.
• We used the programs to get the different effects on lighting, quality, visuals etc and length and pace of the shots.
• When creating my ancillary products it was similar in a way to creating my ones at AS, as we were using the same tools and programs but just for different products. Photoshop was perfect for getting the right level of quality of image needed for my digipack and poster.
• My weaknesses were trying to grasp the way the editing software worked, and difficulty trying to apply my skills into the programs we used.

My progression of graphics and DTP skills at stage of post production between AS and my A2 ancillary tasks

In terms of progression from my AS to A2 products, i think my knowledge has grown in terms of the programs used and which tools to use on what. At AS, i think i was still getting used to the programs when it came to creating the AS products, and in terms of the images i used i feel i should have been more prepared and taken more images of my artist so i had a wider range to chose from. Though i got an A overall for my practical elements i think i could have helped myself out by doing more research and planning and being more organised. My photoshop skills definately improved from AS to A2 and i knew more about the program and the specific tools that i knew i could use to get the best quality product. The process of the ancillary tasks in both AS and A2 were different, but i found making my ancillary tasks at A2 very similar to making my products at AS.
