Completion of QR Codes!

 After a very long week of working on my final piece for the Creative Media Practice module, I have finally completed all 6 of my QR Codes. The footage I had filmed on a Panasonic Handycam last night was transferred to a PC so I could begin editing on Adobe Premiere this afternoon. As I didn't have much time to film last night and with the deadline drawing closer and closer the quality of the footage was not great, for example the lighting could have been of a higher standard. However, I did what I could with the time I had and therefore began to edit my footage this afternoon with the hope that my editing skills would improve the quality of the completed QR Code.

I began by focusing on the 2nd QR Code; A Brief History of Halloween which was a fairly short clip of around 20 seconds. As I wanted users to know what they would be watching I added a text element at the beginning of the clip to introduce the video along with adding an eerie sound effect to enhance the Halloween concept I had in mind. A dip to black and dither dissolve effect was added from the transition of the text to the first talking head to create a more spooky effect and again audio was sourced off the internet to be used as a backing track whilst the remainder of the clip played. After just under two hours of editing I finally completed the QR Code which was then added to my Prezi.

The final QR Code I worked on was based of the topic of 'Trick or Treating' and in similarity with the 'A Brief History...' QR Code, used a talking head to provide users with more information about how Trick or Treating came about. Again, a text element was used to introduce the clip along with audio and the completed sequence lasted for around 20 seconds. I did have a bit of trouble creating a composition that would fit the frame size of the recorded footage but with a little help off my peers I was able to find the suitable composition size of 1920 x 1080. After ensuring the QR Code worked successfully and linked to YouTube, I put the QR Code into my Prezi and had one last scan over to ensure I hadn't missed out any important information and everything worked according to plan.
