Smile Post-Production Diary

For my post-production I have decided to use premier pro. Premier pro is an editing program that allows you to splice, edit and colour grade footage. As shown in the pre-production, the beginning of my footage will be using  the same colour grade.  17th January - today I have started to edit my smile campaign video. I found the appropriate audio that I wanted. I gained my music from epidemic sound . Epidemic sound is a website where you give a monthly subscription and gain access to thousands of tracks and and sound effects. I decided to choose two audio clips. My first audio is very dull and deep. This will help with my editing as the audio conveys and reinforces the depressed mood that I wish to give off. My second audio clip is high pitched which conveys a happier tone. Audio is very important to a video as it helps tell the mood of a video and also the pace of clips.

Smile Campaign Pre-Production

In order to make sure that I know where i am recording, when I am recording and if I have permission to record, I have to use forms. Below are location scouting forms that are used when looking for possible locations. For example, a company may have 20 locations in mind, but they need to record on certain dates and times.

To make recording as safe as possible, risk assessments must be taken in order to know what poses as a risk.

Toxic Positivity   is when people place a high value on their own happiness. It is expected to leave a person less happy, especially in contexts where they most expect to feel   happy .  This tendency to expect happiness and then to feel disappointed or to blame themselves for not feeling happy enough, has been linked to greater depressive symptoms and deficits in  well-being . People who expected to feel happy (valuing being happy), also tended to see their negative emotional states as a sign of failure in life and lacked acceptance of these emotional experiences. This discomfort with negative emotions explained why they had lower levels of well-being. On the other hand, people who pursued happiness indirectly (prioritising being positive), did not see their negative emotional states this way. They were more accepting of low feelings and did not see them as a sign they were failing in life. This article could be used in my video. As a way of showing ...
