Ready for Post!
Good evening! Hope everyone is doing well. Now that my group has filmed, it is now time to begin the post-production process! In this post, I will be going over some of the tasks that my group needs to complete before we finalize our project.
What's Next?
Filming is finally done! Woohoo! Since Logan was able to upload the footage to Google Drive last night, my group is ready to jump head first into editing, foley, and more. This is a list of the things we want to do in post:
- Try out the volumetric light effect in After Effects (which I have discussed in a previous blog post). This will not only make the location look a lot more worn-down and abandoned, but it will also make the shots more visually appealing.
- Capture foley sounds and natural noises to be able to control what our film opening sounds like
- Use sound to establish that the train is coming, instead of relying on visuals (especially since we were unable to get the shot of the train passing)
- Narrow down which shots are good or not and line edit (we filmed every shot multiple times, so choosing which ones to use will be both difficult and time-consuming. We have over a hundred clips!)
- Color correct the line-edited footage in order to make the film opening look more realistic (and to help establish tone)
 |
| A shot like this may not look too post-apocalyptic, however with the proper color grading, the shot could be completely transformed. |
In order to get all of this done, however, we need to create a schedule and establish who is responsible for what. This will be difficult since this upcoming week will be extremely packed, however I am positive that we will get it done (we always find a way). We will be meeting on Tuesday to finalize this schedule, but it looks like we will be editing most of it on Wednesday (since that is the day that works for the most of us). Whatever we do not finish then will most likely be finished individually. I'll post an update when I have more information!
