LAC pre-production log 

 
 
DATE   ACTION TAKEN 

  Today, I had to print out the LAC assignment brief so we 

3/02/2020  could study the brief as a class, then I began to progress 
with the rushes log. We did this to ensure that we do not 
forget the hand in date and to understand everything we 
had to complete for the LAC assignment brief. 

4/02/2020  I started to add all my clips that I was going to use in the 
final piece to the sequence timeline on premiere pro 
2020. I used approximately 57 clips in my sequence. I put 
them in chronological order and then started to add 
audio files i downloaded from Youtube to MP3 converter. 
I then downloaded any MP3 sound i need in my 
sequence such as birds in the early morning chirping 
which was at the beginning of my timeline. I put all my 
clips in chronological order because it helps me to 
understand the narrative of my film better which allows for 
more effective editing. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

10/02/2020  Today I carried on progressing with my rushes log. Not only 

  did I do this, I also started to add effects and transitions 
into my nested clips. For example, I added an additive 
dissolve effect at the beginning of the timeline. This was to 
ensure that the ​two different pieces of clips were together 
to create a neat, smooth piece of clips that runs into 
each piece of each other easily. The main goal was to 
make the clips ​that looked seamless so, it was easier for 
the audience or viewer to watch what was going on. The 
transition I added was a fade in to let the audience know 
the film has actually started. I also added my first major 
soundtrack for my film, it was quite upbeat and joyful in 
which i felt like it appealed to my target audience. 

17/02/-23/02/2020  The half term came, i did not have any access to Premier 
Pro so, this meant that i could not edit for my LAC Single 
camera film. This was a major inconvenience. However, I 
carried on to progress with my Rushes log even further. 
The rushes log was very important as it is a major part in 
the editing process for my LAC Single camera work. It was 
vital​ to keep track of how many takes and scenes i had in 
my short film in order for me personally, to know which 
ones to edit and to use in your final piece. I also added 
more detail in my pre-production log as before it looked 
too basic and too generic. 

24/02/2020  Today was screening day. This phase meant as a class, 

we had to watch short five minute films that were 
exported and submitted before 11:30AM to our teacher, 
where we then gave individual feedback to all of them. 
As a class we all gave them what went well feedback, 
star ratings and even better ifs. Due to my major setback, I 
was unable to present my short film in the screening. 
Furthermore, I stayed back after school until 5PM to 
completely finish my final edit on premiere pro 2020. I 
added all the final bits of edits and transitions to make it 
appeal to my audience and ensured it was seamless. I 
also had to cut and trim a lot of irrelevant material from 
my timeline to ensure that my final edit for my short 
 football film was under five minutes and thirty seconds 
long. As i did not want it to go over that specific time 
deadline as i knew it will affect my final grade for the 
submission. I also finished my rushes log ready for the 
submission tomorrow. Not only did I do all of this, I ensured 
that my pre-production was up to date and of good 
standing ready for submission tomorrow as well. Today I 
also ended exporting my final video and uploading the 
final piece on my own Youtube channel. I ensured the 
video was public so everyone was able to see the video. I 
saved the video onto my USB and saved it on my creative 
cloud section just incase i lost my USB I would have back 
up. 

25/02/2020  Today is submission day for LAC Single camera. This is the 
phase where I evaluated all my paperwork. I ensured all 
my paperwork was printed in the morning so I did not 
have to do it in lesson. For example, the rushes log and 
the pre-production log. I ensured I put everything on my 
weebly such as my final video on the LAC, year 12, single 
camera section.
