Late

In our final weekly assessment,  we were asked to make a transitional sequence form indoors to outdoors as a way to see if we could show consistency, in terms of lighting and sounds, in both scenarios. 

The story involves a university student waking up late for a lecture. Pacing indoors was very quick because of his rushing to get dressed. The majority of the cuts in this scene last either one second long or less than that, as this emphasises how fast he is moving to get ready for his lecture.

When outside, we couldn't use a boom in the shots because we used long shots that would have easily shown the boom on camera. As a result, we decided to overdub the dialogue to get the boom mic sound that we needed for coherent audio. 

One of the characters is only heard through the phone, and so when we edited his overdubbed lines, we used the EQ effect and spiked the 2000 Hz area, the upper mids, and flattened every other frequency. This resulted in a very phone like sound which our lecturers were very impressed with due to us experimenting our post production methods.

The video does come with many faults due to improper procedure and a lack of time. When passing the project from one computer to another, the audio file from the second shot was lost, resulting in the student mouthing his words and losing the tension of the fast paced scene. 

There was also a syncing problem with our outdoor scene where the student says "We have a lecture in 12 minutes." The dialogue is simply off time and will need to be fixed for a second draft.
