Location Shots



This is the exit Bryan uses to escape before getting shot at


We use this shot to add curiousity to the scene. We did a close up on the CCTV sign and Bryan peered through the gap.


Jack's house was the perfect destination to film. The house was undergoing construction which added a sense of danger and it was also located near some woods and the car park which we also filmed at.


Bryan's path was blocked by a second attacker which he punches down to the ground. The house was quite dark in most areas but this area was quite well lit.






Before the character heads towards the kitchen there will be a close up shot of the briefcase laying on this table which Bryan picks up.








This stretch was perfect for our shooting scene. Bryan was able to sprint down whilst getting shot at. The FX was not too challenging to create and it looked realistic scattering off the wall.

Editing


 We made good use out of the Sony Vegas Pro program. There were many things Sony Vegas helped us with. One of those being camera jitter.  A new video stabilization plug-in is supposed to analyse motion on all three axes to make clips look less shaky  It has the usual pre-sets -light, medium, and heavy stabilization--and it worked really well, though we had to crop some shots. Luckily we were using a high resolution camera so we didn't have many problems with fuzziness and pix-elations  I used the Media FX menu by clicking on the the particular scene in the timeline and edited from there.



We also used a plug in called Twixtor that enabled us to create really cool surreal slow motion effects. You will see this being implemented in a few scenes, such as the Puddle shot, Dog running and the Bullet leaving the barrel.



Dubstep Target Audience


These images portray the typical Dubstep audience. It is a popular genre enjoyed by those who exercise as it its quick pace is motivational and energetic, hence it also being popular in nightclubs with a younger audience considering it is a style of music which is typically played at a loud volume to ensure the Bass is heard clearly.




Post-Production Audience Research





What did I gain from this research? 

These interviews in particular helped us shape our creative ideas for the video. It is clear that listeners get a motivated and pumped feeling from this music Therefore a video with lots of action would be the most suitable narrative to go along with as in another interview the audience member said that Dubstep videos should have a high tempo narrative. It was made clear by a number of people I spoke to that seeing the artist even for short cuts, is absolutely essential.
