Post Production Report for Ident 2: Breakfast

1. Post Production Process

In Post Production, I edited my original footage of my idents on Final Cut Pro. I then uploaded the draft and gained audience feedback. From the audience feedback, I was able to identify improvements for my idents such as adding music and a voiceover. I then completed my final idents and exported them as a Master File and uploaded them to YouTube.

2. Post Production Sound
When looking for music, I used YouTube as there is a large amount of copyright free upbeat music. After finding the right music for my breakfast ident, I converted it to an mp3 file using a YouTube converter. I then imported it onto final cut and trimmed it down. I then started to record my voice over which would be used to announce the next show on the channel, on GarageBand using a USB microphone. Once I had done this I imported it onto my project on final cut. Then I lowered the music when the voiceover was being played so that it could be heard by the audience.

3. Post Production Editing

First, I imported all of the footage and put it in order. Then I added the cross dissolve transition in between clips to make the ident flow. After, I used the colour board to increase the brightness and make the pancakes look more vibrant and appealing to the audience. Finally, after adding sound to the ident, I added the food network logo using Adobe Photoshop to change the background to green. I then imported this into final cut and used the keying tool to make the background disappear so that the audience would still be able to see the background when the logo appeared on screen.
