In my third week at Future Play Lab, I mostly used this time to try and understand the feedback I received from Troy and try to make changes to it. During this time, I'm also awaiting the finished logo for Play Capitol Arcade from my teammate Rosie in order to incorporate it into the video, along with Angie's animated characters to enhance the visuals of the video.
The feedback I received from Troy was that the video is great and that he liked it. He suggested I do some colour correction in the clips to make the overall look more balanced and smooth in terms of lighting and colour so that there won't be a huge difference in between clips. In Premiere Pro, I used the Lumetri Colour effect to manipulate the colours and balance out the lighting of the video clips. There is also an "Auto" function where it automatically colour balance the clip so I have also used that function for the clips.
For the title cards of the game names, he wanted it to have a stylised typography to go with it, so I would work with Rosie to finalise the logo and typography style, in order to have a synchronised brand identity and aesthetic throughout the style and social media posts.
During midday, our animator, Angie has supplied me with her character animations that she had been working on. With that, I've included her animated graphics into the video to try and spice things up and make it more playful and attractive. I had the animated characters in the beginning of the video, with the title cards, as well as at the end of the video, therefore, it is consistent throughout. Troy had also provided me with the location shots and specifics he wanted for the video, so I made a plan to go to the locations (Capitol Arcade, Howey Place, Presgrave Place) to get the shots I wanted. He specified that he wanted the shots to be at nighttime since the game experience will be at night.
For the rest of the day, I made tweaks and changes to the video by colour correcting, changing the game title cards, as well as adding Angie's animation of the characters in the video to enhance it.
