Technical Skills in Relation to Group K-Film

Through developing our K-Film, my group have devised some techniques that we aim to employ for the production of our project.

Emily, Ren and myself have refined our concept and discussed recording the audio with the subject first and then film the footage of the feet second as the response to the interview will give us ideas about how to shoot the feet. As the audio and video will be split, it will give us an opportunity to edit the best response with the best part of the footage.

We discussed that it will be important to get the sound quality as good as possible so we may use a lapel microphone to record the audio close and personal. We would also like to make the visuals as interesting as possible so we may use visual effects and camera movement to make the footage as interesting as possible. These two techniques may help engage the user and hopefully make the concept as interesting as possible.

Our keywords will form from themes that are present in the responses from the subjects.

We will also be making GIFs for our preview window displays through Photoshop.

Some tech notes in response to the sketch film meetings

• The fewer the in or out key words, the more lives needed to reach another cluster of clips. This will help ensure the user sees all of the clips that we created.
• Conceptual keywords are ideal.
• The clips on the interface do not have to be structured around the grid.
