Roles of Post Production

Ashleigh: My main role of post production was ensuring that the blog was up to date and that everyone had their work produced on time. I planned out the blogposts carefully and produced a lot of well thought out blog posts when we weren't filming  I have also been working alongside Eliza to get different make-up techniques to make our villan look as scary as possible, whilst we tested out the makeup we took pictures so we could look over them after.

For our new footage we plan to film I am searching for more actors to be in our film and taking photographs of the new location to put on our blog. After all our filming is done i will put the photography on our blog and continue to add more blog posts about filming and other work we have done.

Andrew: My role of post production consisted of creating a suitable movie poster and magazine cover to go along with the teaser trailer. Through the researching of many other horror magazines I was eventually able to produce a magazine that followed the traditional simplicity that most, if not all other horror magazines held. I presented the magazine to the rest of my group and asked for feedback; overall they said it was very good, but they still had me take note on small adjustments that could make it better. I took the feedback into account, made the changes and the final version of the magazine was produced.
The magazine is still in the process of being made, but as the photos have yet to be taken, I am limited with what work I can do while only analysing sketches. Since we plan to take new footage, we also decided to take the photo for the magazine before, during or after filming.

Micah: My main role of post production was the editing process of our teaser trailer. I utilised the software of final cut to splice and seamlessly edit our footage together. I also predominately have produced the poster and magazine front cover sketches and final design ideas for Andrew to use when he creates both the poster and magazine cover. I have created a soundtrack using garageband software for our trailer to avoid copyright issues and make our work more original. I drafted and designed the ideas for our "Reactions Productions" logo; in this process I carefully studied other companies logos and took ideas from these to create our own unique production logo to display at the beginning of our trailer.

For our new footage we plan to film. I have drafted a new storyboard to include within our already edited footage. I plan to direct and shoot most of these shots next week. After all of the filming is finally completed I  will edit all of the footage together using our original created soundtrack and finally complete the trailer.

Eliza: My main role of post production was to assist with the blog and also to research makeup techniques and ideas for our trailer. I have been looking at different techniques that will make out zombie look as realistic as possible. I have tested out some ideas on different volunters and pictures of these have been taken.
