Video Examples with Final Post Production
I want to talk about. I have some video examples, and I want to talk about how in the layering process of doing some editing. So this is some really basic stuff of, ah, video that I directed a little while ago. So the first piece of video we're gonna look at is ah, log video with no sound. So So this is about knife forging. And this is the opening shot of the story with the blacksmith lighting the forge. So this is and this is sort of like some environmental pieces of showing some of the things that he's doing in the in the opening of the Peace. So that is log. It's totally stripped out with no audio. The next one is colored, and you could see the vast difference in the color of the frame. You could also see that there's a richness to the colors that are in this part, and you get a much better sense of that. And then the last piece I'm going to show you is with sound design. So this is the same piece of video with color and sound design, so you could see that the editing process adds s...
o much life to any given project. So if you were just looking at the raw footage in log, you would be like, Well, what's the big deal? But then, of course, adding the color brings everything toe life and then adding the sound could it brings you and pulls you into the room? Um, similarly, I want to talk about this piece of video, which is I'm gonna explain to what's gonna happen. So basically, this is there is no this is the camera is mounted and not moving, and there is a voice over, but no music. So that's what this piece will be. What would be better than my daughter wanted to forge, you know, from grandfather to me, to my daughter. I mean, that's exactly what it's all about. So that's how the piece ended without any music and without what we did later, which is a digital dolly move. So watch for it until and and see if you can recognize it. What would be better than my daughter wanted to forge out from grandfather to do to my daughter? That's exactly what it's all about. You get a sense of the idea that by just those layered pieces. So we saw a little bit of color. We saw a little bit of sound design. We saw a little bit of a digital dolly move and then the addition of music to bring a motion into the piece. So now if you'd watch the whole piece, you would have felt that you were being built up to that. That last hit with music because he's talking about his kid. He's getting emotional about it. So it's It's reading the video, hearing the audio, knowing what we're trying to. How we're trying to portray this person will influence the kind of music you put in it and that that's subtle. Little move gives a little bit mawr emotional dynamic to it, and we, as we kind of follow, follow him out. You know, it's it's a subtle thing, but you could see that every tiny little piece and that's the point in trying to make is that every little piece that you put into it will bring the audience a little bit more, a little bit more clarity, a little bit more emotion. Ah, little bit more visual excitement, whatever it might be. So you have a question. Yeah, I have a question right that one. Like the emotional moment that he's talking. He's obviously not talking in that shot. That right? That's like B roll Right on. You set that shot up specifically to look like that. But you captured the audio at some point sort of saying that like and I hope that my kids air forgers was that scripted or was that general during an interview? So I mean, I I interviewed him for I mean, I interviewed him for way too long because I wore him out. But I interviewed him for close toe like, over the course of two days. I probably interviewed him for, like, 2.5 hours, and I got so much great stuff. So it was, you know, it was something that when we're assembling the piece we knew we wanted that to be the last shot we had no idea. We wanted in to be saying that at that point, because when we assembled the peace, we we had positioned the part with him and his daughter intentionally right before that, because the piece before that influenced it. Because we go through this whole thing about these dudes banging metal and you know, it's very masculine in this whole bit, and my take on it was There is a young woman in the video who is also a forger. So I shifted gears after the second interview with the mail knife forger to the female knife forger, and she talks about how what it does for her. And then she finishes her interview by saying, I know it's a male dominated industry, but I really want to see more women in it, right? And then we cut to Frank in his shop with his daughter, showing her the things and how she's so interested in what he does. And then he makes that statement and we closed the peace. So as much as it's and it's a narrative documentary, peace and none of it is scripted. How it's being assembled in the end is about how you want to tell this story. So we had all these random pieces, but we wanted to tell the story that it's for everyone, not just these dudes, right? So and that, again was is part of the musical choices and part of the editing techniques that we used was to build emotion into it and build a sensitivity into something that was seemingly very primal fire metal banging stuff. But then, of course, we bring it to a close with the idea that this guy's hope is that this little girl wants to do the things that he does. So that's in essence, the art of doing a documentary is that it's all riel. You just put it in the order to tell the story the way you want to tell it so and they were very happy with it, too. So I think that's cool.
