TV Advert part 12 - Finished editing


So I finally finished editing my Advert here's what the Premiere Project looks like:



I reckon I managed to edit the footage so that the action is coherent and still interesting. Here's a shot of my timeline:



Because we filmed our ad on a cloudy day the footage appeared very dark and colourless, so I decided to tinker with the brightness and contrast controls to make the footage appear more colourful. By changing the saturation I was able to make the footage much more appealing to look at.


We tried to make our advert more stylised by just having the main characters in colour:


This was achieved by using the "leave colour" effect in premier which faded the background but left a certain colour brighter:



However this still left the background with partial colour which drew attention away from the main character so I decided to overly the footage with a black and white clip and crop it so that the background was in black and white whilst the character was not.



I think these effects look great and for what we had to hand I think we did a good job here. These all added to make the advert a little more stylised.

TV Ad - Converting Video Files

I've started getting footage off from the camera and Converting the files with AVS video converter. Some of the footage looks pretty good. It's just a shame about the weather. I guess now it's all done to the editing.

TV Advert - Filming the Advert (again)

Today we started filming our advert for the second time. The weather was bitterly cold and we may have rushed because of this. Wether we got good camera shots is yet to be seen...

TV Ad - Filming Advert

Ok so, we started filming our advert indoors because the weather was appalling, and we got some great footage. However our actor bailed on us ¬_¬' and to make matters worse the rest of my group still wants to film outside. So all the footage we got is now useless. So starting tommorow we will film for real.
