An overview of my workflow



I produced 10 different cuts in the process of reviewing my film.  I felt I had produced a decent cut - however on showing it to an audience they didn't understand the narrative as it was too fast paced.
I added music and Broll. As my audience couldn't understand the narrative I redrafted it using sticky notes. I then re filmed certain sequences whilst also re recording the voice overs - as people stated that my presenter wasn't very clear. I also added music with Broll to slow the flow of the narrative down.


Colorgrading
I used Davinci Resolve to colorgrade my footage. I had experimented with it very briefly before but I didn't really understand how to use it. I actually found it super interesting learning about different colors, grading, luts   The most difficult part of colorgrading was round tripping the footage from Premiere to Davinci and then back to Premiere. as trying to use an .xml caused an issue with Davinci's format. In the end after a couple hours of trouble shooting I exported the video in prores and then used a .eld to cut the film. After colorgrading I then exported the film in Prores 422 and as there was an issue exporting the .xml manually attached the colorgraded footage to the audio.

Audio

Overall I am happy with the way that the audio turned out. Music I ended up sourcing my music licenses from Artlist.io (https://artlist.io) as I agree with their business practices and prefer the layout of their site over other music licensing websites like Epidemic. I also preferred the flat rate cost over other websites like Music bed. I chose acoustic music as this effectively slowed down the pace of the piece. Later in the piece I used more electronic music to reinforce the theme of technology. Voice I ended up rerecording most of the voice overs with cleaner and easier to understand dialogue. After the first cuts I was better able to coach my presenter in the type of delivery I was looking for. When recording audio I used 2 channels with one quieter and the other louder so that in post if one peaked I could copy the quieter channel and apply gain. This helped immensely when it came time to edit my footage. I also tried using both a compressor and an equalizer. However I ...
