MY past media studios have drilled into me the idea of having a workflow, and for this assessment, I feel like it has finally culminated in having a decent, streamlined workflow.
This is what I did.
Set up camera settings (1/125, f2.8, iso800, 5000k, 1080p, 60fps)
(even this was streamlined because I have made preset settings on the camera for shooting different things, ie. slow motion)
Set up lights
(I did this assignment last night so it was a bit dark)
Get brother to stand and play with his hands
Shoot for ~3 minutes (40% slower gives a lot of room to play with)
Import footage to project folder
Interpret footage and conform to 24fps (slow down)
Cut and edit. (didn’t put too much thought into how, but just wanted to displace the linearity of how I actually filmed it ie, hands in pockets, play with it, put back in pocket.)
Record voice
Cut out mistakes and import
Add title screen
Add soundtrack used from another project I did (no copyright etc.)
Screenshot, and grade photo in Lightroom. Apply to the video and export.
(I need to work on that bit, by upgrading to Premiere CC which can use .cube files so that I can use my lightroom presets in there.)
Compared to previous projects, it did not take long at all, and I am relatively happy with what I made.
