Feedback and final edditing

Today in my media class we all sat down and watched each others films,after we had finished we each handed a sheet to each person whose films we were watching with constructive feedback on the sheet.

• The feedback i was given was to stop my sound topping out at the end and scare points
• Increase brightness to some of whats going on is more visible 
• Sort out a sleight camera jog at the beginning 

Once i had received my feedback i went back into premier-pro and made the changes. 

Equipment

Sound

Today, in class we recorded a news report in two situations. One outside next to a construction site where it was extremely noisy and the other inside where it was more quiet. 

Our finding from this are, to buffer out large background noises you can delete quieten the section. Following this to raise the volume of the speakers you can get them to raise there voices naturally or simply raise the gain of the film once editing. 

Permission Letter

I sent this to the parents of the three actors i'm using.
