Project 2A: Production shoot

Figure 1.1: Storyboard of my group production shoot

My assigned task in the production shooting is location sound
Some behind-the-scenes photos during the production shoot day:

After the shooting is done, the video clips and audio files are all shared in a google drive folder for all the groupmates to do individual editing.
Figure 1.7: All the sounds that I have recorded

For editing the colour, I downloaded some colour grading presets from: https://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/free-premiere-pro-lumetri-looks/

Some examples of how the colour grading worked in my editing:

The choice of this colour grading is to further enhance the mystery and dark atmosphere of the video.

Figure 2.3: Arrange the recorded location sounds and background music 
After the colour editing was done, I look for some background music from free sound website, the music that I have chosen is https://freesound.org/people/N0IZ/sounds/642525/, as the story of the production shoot is giving off a mystery and dramatic feeling, I use the music to fit with the vibes of it.

Project 2B: TikTok video

Figure 2.6: Storyboard
This is a brief idea of how my TikTok video will be presented, the final video may not fully follow the planned flow of this storyboard, but the idea will still be the same.

Figure 2.7: Selected sound
As I am an active TikTok user, I am aware of the trends that are happening, the selected sound is a trending sound on TikTok, and the users under the sound are posting the edited footage taken by themselves, some of them are posted by professional photographers, video editors, or posted by some regular people who just take videos for fun just like me.

I went back to campus during ILW to shoot the footage for TikTok video with my friends who were also working on this project.

As I want the visual of the clips to have a warm and soft atmosphere, I adjusted the temperature and highlights, and add some colour presets.

REFLECTION

Production shoot: The shooting was an experience for me to work in a mini-production group, and understand the flow of shooting scenes and the work that everyone was assigned to. As a person who worked on the location sound, I found the equipment for recording the sounds very impressive, as I wore the headphone, I can hear literally anything clearly from my surrounding, and I felt that all the sounds are 100x amplified. And when I put down the headphone, the world suddenly became quiet, which took me a while to get used to it. It was also a nice experience to collaborate with my groupmates who worked together in the shooting. 

TikTok video: It is technically the first time I ever uploaded a TikTok video although I have been on the platform for 2 years already. With the help of my peers during the shooting, we were sharing the tripod, and I was able to shoot many clips and chose the best one out of them. There was an accident that my friend's tripod broke, but luckily there was a senior willing to borrow her tripod to us, we were absolutely thankful for that.
