SNOW
- To create this comic I first chose a comic strip that I thought was a good storyline, and that I could see being used in a soap.
- The comic strip didn't have any actual dialogue which was spoken, it was all based around his internal monlogue that needed to be spoken by a narrated. I decided that this was perhaps a little simplistic in terms of dialogue and so I decided to add some speech that complimented the clip for example we added the words "excuse" and "oh". Although the words weren't every long they made the emotion of the clip more prominant as soaps intend to make their storylines as emotional and dramatic as possible.
- When filming the strip I had to use different camera shots for many of the different scenes for example one shot was a panning shot across a long section of the strip whereas another shot was a close up of the man's face. I learnt how to use the zoom and angle of the camera to frame the shot correctly as otherwise there would have been a lot of background images from the computer screen in the shot which we would have to have edited out as well as to ensure the picture came out clearly on the camera. I paused and adjusted the camera angle and zoom between each shot to make the the transition between each shot as smooth as possible. If I had filmed the strip on a one continuous camera shot it would have been more difficult and time consuming to edit during post production.
- I recorded the narrative monologue and speech whilst filming each of the seperate shots so theywere timed perfectly with the shot.
- When I got to the stage were I coould upload the comic strip onto 'adobe premiere elements' I uploaded the sperate shots clip by clip. This was a good method of editing the strip as I could simply upload the clips chronalogically with the sound already recorded and included in each of the clips. I arranged the clips in the correct order and made sure that there weren't any gaps in the sound or anything that needed to be editited out in terms of the length of the clips or the picture quality of the clips. Finally I ran the clips together a few times to ensure it all ran together smoothly.
