LO3: Effects and transitions
For the effects, we added a 3 second clip of an intro for our show, which was produced by one of our colleagues. Then after that we then added an intro for the game, which was part of a trailer that we found on YouTube. Then we transitioned from the trailer to the actual review using a fade to black because it didn't look right otherwise. We didn't use any more effects apart from the ending which was the same as the intro clip.
LO3: Audio editing
We are changing the audio from mono to stereo. This was done because we recorded the audio on the boom mic and that only records in mono so we had to change it in post. We also reduced a buzzing nose in the back ground so it could not be heard in the final product. We also had to dub over a piece of audio as I said the name of the games studio wrong so we re-recorded that part and put game-play and then put that new audio over that. We then had to edit the audio in adobe audition so that you could not notice a change in audio.

LO 2:Rush
My and Olly set up the the equipment for the shooting. It tuck some where between the time frame of 1 and a half hours to 2 hours. When setting up we made sure to not let any wires left out and the one wire that we could not hide away we put masking tape over so that is could not be tripped over or knock over the equipment. All of the other wires where all out of the way and could not be tripped over. We set up the set in the way that we had planned. The TV, chairs and table where all in the places that had been shown in the storyboards and we also sat in the places that where shown in the planning. Everything that was planed in the storyboard was implemented when we filmed. The one thing that we did not do word for word was what was said in the script. This was due to time constraints because if we where to talk about every thing that was planned we would have gone over the time limit by a lot. We had always sent out the call sheet for what the equipment that we need for shooting. As we where reviewing games we needed to find an appropriate software or hardware to record the game footage. So we had to do research in to the best recording software and equipment to get so that we could make a better end product. This is fit for purpose because it is a review segment in a TV show. It was fit for purpose because we had set up the lighting, microphones and cameras in A very professional manner. The script for the review was made so that we could talk in a very informal and laid back way as this is one of the convention for gamer's.

LO1:Game review Research for program
Gameplay Trailers
Story Trailer
Gameplay
Middle Earth:Shadow of Mordor gameplay is a mixture of stealth, combat and strategy.
If I was to compare it I would say it is a blend of the Batman Arkham games and Assassins creed games. It looks very fun and the nemesis system looks like it could be very promising.
Story
Because its a trailer it will just give you the basics story. From what I could find the story is about the ranger Talion and the wrath Celebrimbor. Both are linked because of the pain they have felt by Soron. This links both of them and gives Talion wrath powers and make him resurrect.
Characters
There are four characters in the trailer Talion, Celebrimbor, Gollum and Soron. From knowing the story of lord of the ring I am guessing that Soron has his hands in thing but never turns up him self. Gollum looked very well made, He looked like the he jumped in from the film. The two main characters Talion and Celebrimbor I'm not sure there is not much behind them but vengeance. I would like to see how and if the character evolves in the story of the game.
