LO3- Be able to carry out a specific production role for a chosen media production

Task 4a-
The role that I undertook in one of my productions "Why it's okay to speak about mental health" was the editor. I edited the Timelapse footage and also started to edit the rest of the Documentary style video. I spent a lot of time on Adobe Premiere to edit the video.



Whilst editing the time lapse I used the cutting tool to remove the things that we didn't need and sped the footage up until it played at the speed that we wanted it too.


 For this part of the video I just used the cutting tool to remove parts of it that we didn't need.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
Task 4b-
I also completed most of the paperwork during the pre-production process including location recces, risk assessments, storyboards, call sheets and consent forms, production schedules and the gantt chart.  I showed my initiative when there was extra filming to be done. I showed initiative because I had to find friends who would help me to record and answer the questions. I completed this when it was needed. For my main role as the editor the storyboards were really important as i used them to put the video in order and they also should have told me how each take of the video should have been edited. The call sheets and consent forms were also helpful to my editorial role as they told me that I could use the footage of each of the actors. Weekly production schedules also made sure that i was on task and completing the things that needed to be for certain deadlines. The final document that was important to my role was the gantt  chart as it tells me how long we had to complete the video and whether we were on track.








Task 4c-
Personally I think that I went above and beyond my original editorial role by completing all of the outstanding paperwork and completed the last of the filming. This was all to ensure the success of my groups Documentary style video. I didn't really use many different styles of editing but I did add text that pops up when facts are being said by the presenter. There was also a lot of cutting and ordering the footage to make sure we only had the footage that we needed and it was in the order in which the dialogue goes.
