Presenting and feedback

Presentation:
Today Tuesday 20th March, i presented my finished production to an audience. I discussed similar videos and aspects about the video such as file size, editing, format and how my video was similar and different to the similar videos.


Feedback:
I collected feedback from my audience in the form of a questionnaire
The feedback revealed that people overall liked my video.
A main problem that was brought up and stood out the people was the sound. When editing i found the music i was using was not long enough to cover to whole production so i had to chop it up and extend it.
Another thing that someone brought up was that the girl in the first scene could have made it a little more obvious that she is the same girl as in the second scene.
As for the effects in the video people rated an average of 4.2 of 5


I achieved the grade of a merit

Editing and Exporting

All the video has now been edited and exported. The video will now be added to a presentation and showed to the rest of the class


I added many effects to the clips after piecing them together. 
on premiere pro i edited aspects such as the colour and speed. 
After i completed editing the video on premiere pro i edited it on adobe after effects. I used this to add the shines on the perfume bottle and the rain on the opening scene. 


I also created the finishing image of the perfume bottle on photoshop by layering and overlaying the layers (the image of the bottle i took, the background, misty effect, text)

Scene 3 has now been filmed today, now all the scenes for my production are filmed and are ready to be edited. Friday 2nd of March.

A 24 year old male who is a well dressed character walks by, Oblivious to his surroundings and doesn’t acknowledge the depressed woman.
A Mysterious character dressed in a bright red robe holding a box enters the scene, It is unknown on the characters sex and facial features. The mysterious character hands the box to the woman then creeps away.
The woman opens the box revealing the beautiful bottle of perfume.

Actor wardrobe and Filming scenes

The female actor will be wearing three outfits throughout the video.


-First of all the female actor will be wearing a gown with very neat hair and makeup this will be for scene three but will be filmed first. She will first spray the perfume and look beautiful, Look over her shoulder with her back to the camera while flicking her hair, Secondly a mid shot will be taken(cut off at her nose to her waist) holding the perfume in her left hand revealing the perfumes name .


-Secondly scene two will be filmed. In this scene the female actor will be wearing a less formal yet pretty/sexy dress and more casual hair and neat makeup.


-Scene one will be filmed last of all, as the female actor will need to smudge all her makeup and mess her hair up also she will be wearing ragged clothing.


-The male actor will only wear one outfit, this outfit needs to be smart and fashionable 
The male actor is involved in both scene one and two.


-And lastly the mysterious character will be wearing a robe the hood will need to cover their face. 
-This character is only involved in the last scene to be filmed which is scene one.

Initial Ideas

My idea is to create a perfume advertisement, the advertisement is going to appeal to women as women are the target audience. 


Within the story of the video you will see a young women dressed in ragged clothing, The woman is depressed as men do not notice her or are attracted to her. A mysterious cloaked figure brings a box to the woman, inside the box there is a bottle of perfume, once the woman uses the perfume she is transformed into a beautiful goddess like woman.  
The man now notices the woman and they fall in love.
