Progress since last week

I have now found suitable sound effects for the Carnival Skittle advert, however after putting them into Adobe Premiere, I felt that some of the crowd noises were overpowering the soundtrack, therefore we decided to only keep the sound effect of the engine as it blended in better with the soundtrack. We didn't want to lose all of the sound effects as sound effects was an integral part of this advert. We have also completed the voice over for all of the adverts and exported all of the adverts from Adobe Premiere.

Voice overs

When recording the voice overs for the Carnival and Wild Berry advert, we decided to use a femal vocal as we felt it would be more soft. However the quality of the microphone was poor and the voice over sounded crackly, therefore we decided to record the voice overs again. However, this time use a male vocal as the Tropical advert used a male vocal, although we decided to record new voice overs for all of the adverts. We decided to use a male vocal as it was more domineering and powerful.

Wild Berry advert progress

The Wild Berry advert now only needs a voice over for the final clip, we decided not to include sound effects for this advert, as we would then lose continuity between all three adverts as the Tropical advert doesn't contain any sound effects. Therefore, although all of the adverts are similar and follow specific convention, they also differentiate to make them less repetitive and boring. We also felt that the beggining two clips of the storyboard weren't needed as we felt it would be more beneficial if all three adverts begun with a mid shot to engage the audience and establish the setting.

Carnival Skittles advert

I have now re shot and edited all of the Carnival clips, I have also imported the soundtrack for the advert. I now need to search for relevant sound effects of the crowd and the engines of the floats. I also need to record voice overs, for the end clip, we feel the lack of voice overs helps for the soundtrack to match the action; but also to make it less compact as sound effects, voice overs and the soundtrack at the same time would make it hard for our young demographic to concentrate and take in the advert.

Progress with Wild Berry advert

Wild Berry advert has now been completed, however after analysing the advert, we feel some changes need to be made. One of which was that the 'introducing' typography in each freeze frame wasn't needed, as it made it too clammy, therefore we decided to have 'introducing' in the first freeze frame but in the other just the name of the flavour so it wasn't repetitive and boring. We also felt that the soundtrack (The troggs- Wild thing) needed to be razored on Adobe Premiere in a different place, enabling the lyrics to match the action.

Progess with Carnival Skittle advert

After finishing editing the Carnival Skittle advert I felt on some of the clips the lighting was poor, and therefore needing to be re shot. Therefore, this week I will re shoot and edit clips 3, 4 and 5. I believe the lighting differentiates due to the change in environment where filming, however I will try to overcome this problem and get the lighting as similar as possible. I have also searched for numerous soundtracks, but I still feel the 'Old fairground mix' on Youtube will be the best match. Therefore I will import that also this week into Adobe Premiere.

Progress with Wild Berry advert

Kelsey has now edited all of the clips for the Wild Berry advert, but still waiting for a camera to film the last clip, as her advert only lasted roughly 18 seconds, we felt the clips she had already filmed and edited could be slowed down in order to make it longer. We also felt that a clip was needed of all the skittles together before the final clip of them jumping into the packet. Therefore, before the last clip, there will be a clip of all of the skittles jumping up and dancing.

Changes for Carnival Skittles advert

I have now filmed all of the clips for the Carnival Skittles advert, and begun editing them. However, in order to not lose continuity between all three adverts, I have decided to not freeze the clips; similarly to the Wild Berry Skittles advert, as then the Tropical Skittles advert would not fit in with the other two. Therefore, I am going to concentrate more on the sound effects for this advert to differentiate it from the other two but not lose continuity.
