Canon Post Production Diary (Canon)

Image
Once I had took my pictures I loaded them into Photoshop and began editing. I used Photoshop because it's very convenient,useful and accessible. Photoshop allowed me to create and edit my poster using filters and edits. The first thing I did was put both pictures on one page. I did this by opening another image and dragging it onto they other one I had open. This allows me to merge the 2 pictures together which is crucial to my poster design. This edit is really simple and basic yet crucial to the products progression.          The next edit I did was add a layer mask so I could edit the image without permanently damaging it. This is good for reverting mistakes and errors as well as encouraging experimentation. This is a good thing to add because it makes the process easier. After that I decided the fade the 2 images together using the gradient tool. This helped me to merge the 2 pictures together and create they effect I wanted. In order to do this I dragged th...

My Post Production Diary For The Podcast (Smile Podcast)

 So when it comes to editing podcasts I will admit I'm very inexperienced and with there being no video I got a bit stuck on what to add so I kept it quite basic. For the editing software I used Logic Pro because It's practical and I already recorded the podcast using Logic so it made sense to stick with it. Logic Pro is an audio recording software often used to record audio based media such as interviews and podcasts. The computer I'm using to edit is a Apple Mac made by popular tech brand Apple.  Logic helped me put the podcast together so I could use it for this project. Without Logic I would be pretty stuck because it has been crucial to my podcast creation and production. The first thing I did was listen to my podcast and cut out all of the fails and blank parts. This makes the podcast better because there is less unnecessary filler boring the consumer. To do this I turned on advanced tools equipped scissors and every time I needed to cut something out I'd click th...

Smile Podcast Production Diary (Smile Podcast)

 So for my podcast I went to one of the studios to record the audio. I took a microphone, stand, pop protector and a digital interface box. For my recording software I used logic pro on the computer because it's easy to use. Here are a few pictures of my setup!  So when I was recording my podcast I made sure to try and speak with a clear voice to grab they attention of the viewer. I decided to try and make a few jokes here and there in an attempt to try and not make the podcast boring. The podcast took me about 30 minutes to record (including fails). I think that the podcast would have been longer if I wasn't doing it solo. I'd say I was quite comfortable recording my voice since I've been dabbling in similar industries for a number of years. I did a few minor issues with Logic at the start (podcast not recording) but the issues were fixed with a click of a few buttons. The room itself was very efficient and soundproof so I had no issues whatsoever. Once I was done with...
