Week6 6/10/2015

This was the sixth lesson of having video editing.  We talked about final project.  There are lots of production roles.  Production roles explained pre-production, breakdown script writing and mini workshop.  In production roles, we have writer, director, director of photography, sound editor.  These are first stage.  In second stage, we have producer, assistant director, assistant editor, actor etc.  And all of them are important.

In pre-production, it breaks down story idea, pitch, script, storyboard, costing etc.  These are all production plan.

Another thing is, the professor reminded us that places, locations act like actor.  Sometime we need is a good location.  And different colour tone will have different effect in a movie.  For example, in the movie "The Shining".  Two girls's clothes were in blue and white, it's used to have a contrast between the blood red and them.  Also, Danny's red clothe represent that he is in danger, and have a contest between him and two girls.

About script writing. it is used to build block of your film.  If you want to write good script, first you should read more good script.  And when we are doing script writing, we should show the emoting by  showing it, but not telling.

I hope I can do a great job in my project.

This was the fifth lesson of having video editing.  In this lesson, we are going to submit our assignment 1.

In this blog, let me introduce and talk more about my assignment.  In my assignment, I used the video clips of the spider.  The spider is climbing on a person's body and also the clip of shooting from the spider's vision.  And the spider failure.  And I mix these video clip with the war.

Spider represent Japan.  Which like the flag of Japan in that time, and it's like spider's legs, have lots of military power and ambition.  And the spider's climbing on a man's back means it is going to attack other.  And finally the target is USA.  And I used a bird to represent USA, which is a nation of freedom.  And the spider killed the bird. That means Japan attack USA in the Pearl Harbor Incident.  And a spider have a large movement it represent Japan felt happy after winning the war. After that USA fight back by using  atomic bomb.  And I used a video clip of the eagle flying high in the sky, shows how powerful USA is.  After failing the bomb, Japan surrendered.  And I used the clip of the spider fell down from the table.  This represent the failure of Japan.

That's all of my assignment 1.  And I hope I can gain more experience of video editing in this assignment, and have improvement next time.

This was the fourth lesson of having video editing.  The professor taught us about the theory of editing.  our assignment should apply the concept and idea in video cutting.  For example, we watched a video clip that a peacock's video clip and a man's video clip keep showing.  This shows that he wanted to gain authority and become a king.  If we use different animal in the clip, it will show different effect and feeling.

Also, we learnt about something of the software Premiere and photo taking, such as YC graph.  Y means brightness vs. dark.  C means saturated vs. desecrated.  In color temperature, the degree kelvin of light source which gives it a "color".  In color balance, white balance setting the source light to read as pure white.  White is not totally white, it is the mix of all color.  In color correction of a wedding photo, it gives more detail in black, but lose detail in the white.  In color grading, when we don't know what's going on in the shadow, will make us feel nervous.  That's why film making usually use blue tone in the war, but not orange or red such warm color.

In this lesson, we learnt lots of usage of camera and terms.  I will put more attention in them in my daily life.
