CCR POST-PRODUCTION

 Hello there! 

It's time to write about post-production for my CCR. Since these are two media products, each has its own style and length. 

CCR1

The first one, which aimed to answer the first two questions, was done in an interview format, and for the editing, I used a show's presentation (which I created in Canva). 

The editing was cut by cut, and I used effects like Ken Burns to generate movement in each clip, such as camera moves or close-ups. I also used a title bar to identify the host and guest.

Since Final Cut Pro has many options, I chose Helvetica Neue, regular, size 183, with a Lower Third Basic Logo option. This allowed me to add the show's logo, which I designed in Canva. I also inserted overlapping graphics and clips with information such as comments, research data, and part of my Opening Film.

I again used the copyright-free library that our instructor suggested for the music. The result was an almost 5-minute video that was quite good and summarized my opinion on the questions raised for this part of the project.

Although this edition is longer than the opening film, it was more fluid because almost all the clips came from one scene with only four shots. I really had fun with this part! 

CCR 2

The post-production of my CCR2 was more demanding than the previous one. Although I only had two clips, the first with Victor Host's questions and the second with Victor's answers as director/actor, establishing the sequence and effects to fit within the film's screen was challenging.

It took me about two hours to finish this part. My aunt Nathalie gave me some tips that I had already used in editing the Opening, but in this case, the timeline had plenty of material to "insert into the screen."

I used the base clip, scenes from the film, photos from the production, and some sources I cited from the Internet.

I used a different font from the Final Cut font library. I chose Din Condensed Bold in yellow with a font size of 228.

For the effects, I inserted the clips into the screen (a still shot captured with a tripod) and used transitions with a glitch effect to continue the mood of my Opening.

I reused my film to open and close the video, which turned out well.

The audio was an issue because I tried to create two different intonations for each character. Even so, I had to speed up some clips and add gain. I achieved this with the audio editing bar that Final Cut includes by default, which can automatically enhance the audio.

The music in the almost imperceptible background is the same one I chose for CCR1 from Bensound Gallery.

Post-production is my favorite part of the project. Good software can make a huge difference in editing, video, and audio effects.

In my next two posts, I'll reflect on this entire project (the longest I've ever had) and finally post the links to see the final result.

So, keep in touch. There are only two more days left.
