What decisions did you make in the post production stage of your two products? Evaluate the success of these decisions.

-Refer to as many of the post production elements as possible. Post production elements:

• editing
  

In the editing stages of our post production stages we diverted our attention to focusing on enhancing the colour of our footage. In order to create this visual effect we used a saturation tool. We decided to use this effect to make the footage more vibrant, attract the attention of the audience and most importantly in order to keep the footage in keeping with the vibrant, bubbly theme that our product held.

• consumption/exchange

Creating a blog in conjuction with our product allowed us to access the feedback of others. Including constructive criticism and hepful comments that gave us the opportunity to better our product. In both the thriller and music video project we used blogger however, we had learnt from the first project (the thriller) that the more use we had out of the blog the more successful we felt our end product would be.

• marketing (digi-pack)

Particularly when marketing our music video we made many decisions in creating the digipack. Our main goal was to combine the theme from the music video itself (the enhanced colouring) to the characteristics of our digipack. We wanted to ensure that the digipack was vibrant and eyecatching however the DVD cover and magazine advert would still differntiate to ensure that customers would be able to see the difference in products and prevent it from becoming too samey.

• CGI effects
• video commentary

Post Production

In the Bourne Ultimatum the director decided to not use many visual effects but to create various techniques for real.

For instance they filmed the rooftop chase scene for real in the location that they wanted to be in.

They used Cable Cameras to film this footage as Dolly's aren't fast enough and the angle of footage is off of the roof. To do this they hung cameras from cranes on cables to move the cameras across. This had complications as they had to contend with going over power lines and other cabling to make it filmable. They were also able to pre-program the cameras to do specific motions as well as manually controlling them.

For the jumping over glass on the wall scene they used Toffee glass to allow the character to safely jump over as well as it creating a realistic crushing image and sound. This was better than CGI or silicon glass as CGI cannot create a realistic view and Silicon glass is extremely flexible.

They also used Jump Cams to follow the character as he jumps off of a building and lands in the kitchen window of the opposite building. To do this they used a Stunt man to film the character and jump with them into the building.

This involved a small bit of CGI to remove safety mats, cables for the cameras as well as removing some people out of windows who were watching the filming.
