This was what my messages were like to inform people that they were successful from the auditions
Hi .......... Just messaging to say thank you for attending our audition, if you are still interested we would like to offer you one of the main roles in our advert.
If you are interested could you please confirm, If you available to make the shoot on Wednesday the 12th November.
Regards and Congratulations .......
Moving Image Visual Arts M.I.T


This took a lot of time and effort to make sure everyone was contacted and confirmed.

After they confirmed I stayed in contact with everyone just to keep them happy and to make sure that everyone would run smoothly on the day, as one of two producers we decided to split the list and stay in contact with our list.

Transition

Transition to our final cut

So we did start with creating two videos for the Police, this was to be an advert advertising an anonymous number that you can call if you have a crime to report.

Each group came up with 2 subjects, one being domestic violence and the other a video on teenage violence.

After a few weeks we decided it might be a little safer to just run with one video so we can donate all our time and skills and be able to give it 100%.

We came up with our script and then fine tuned it making it into our final video, we made storyboards and the sound crew went over what would be needed of them, and props and wardrobe cut down to a list of essentials that would be needed for the day.

We started with the shooting date of the 5th although had to move it back to the 12th as we were running out of time and were still worried about been ready on time.

We shot on the 12th and all turned up working really well as a team on the day to produce the best we could do.

What I enjoyed the most

 

 

 My role as Producer

What I most enjoyed would have to be the auditions , editing and the experience, I am very grateful that I had the chance to be apart of something like this advert to get a little look into what really goes on in making an ad.

I will forever appreciate ads a little more now that I know how much work goes into them.

And just say Wow !

Producers you have a very important role to play, for awhile I felt like if I failed at my position the whole thing wouldn't of worked, it was a lot of pressure trying to get everyone into one place and at the right time.

And although its over it was fun and I am pretty sure the final result has been a positive one.

video editing

 My video Editing

So I have all the video footage and have been playing around with the colour's and clips I decided I wouldn't use any dialogue and just go with a music clip so that teenagers could relate to it a little better.

I cut up the video and tried to make it in to something that I thought younger people could relate too, And then I thought maybe something like a memory or kind of dream scene would look good so I rearranged the video clips in to a kind of backward sequence.

How ever when I showed children around the age that we were trying to target they didn't quite understand. So I brought it back and re cut the order of some scenes so it would make more sense. 

And thats a wrap

All video work is completed it is now down to editing, which is hours of cutting, colouring and fine tuning in to a 2min master piece I guess the main and most Important thing is that at the end of the day as long as our message gets across we have done our jobs.

If it can help just one person or gets the chance to the hours and hours of prep work all would of been worth it.

Simple Video Editing w/ Premiere Pro CS6

Just researched and revised a few tips on editing and effects, before I edit my part of the video, because all our footage is almost ready

Call Sheets

All numbers and actors including crew are listed on the call list 

As producer I have had to make some executive calls with time call outs and have found that everything so far has been running smoothly.

Everyone has played their part and I am hoping that everything pulls together tomorrow.
