DVD and Cover

The case for my DVD is made from black card and the design on the front cover is taken from the animated sequences in the documentary project.

DVD Concept

For my DVD and case i want to keep a similar aesthetic to my previous three projects, the one constant in them is that I have removed the original colour from all three. In one of them the original footage is black and white, in another I made the footage sepia toned and for the final video I made it black and white to match the subject matter.

My case and menu design is going to make use of a strong black and white contrast fitting with the previous projects.

Editing in After Effects

In After Effects I created my intro sequence, the end credits and a couple of small animations that were inspired by the music video shown in the lecture that made use of still frame images but had a dynamic 3D element to it.

Editing in Avid

In Avid Media Composer I worked at getting the segments of interview that had valid content that I wanted to use to reinforce my point. The difficult part was keeping the length to under five minutes. I also wanted to try and alternate between my two interviewees instead of having one of them talk continuously. I had to trim parts of their sentences to reduce time and remove stutters or errors.

Capturing

I captured my video off the tape today. I first logged them under separate interviews and then under segments of conversation that I thought that I could use.

Filming continued

I went and got permission from the cafe "Midnight Espresso" to do some filming on their property showing coffee being made. These shots can be played while the interviews talk over the top to give the documentary some action shots to break up the fairly static feel of the interviews.
