CLASS SUMMARY:
Week 1
Mr Martin introduces us to the module information booklet and gave us an assignment breakdown for all the assignments given and also giving out examples from previous students as reference for us to use in the future. We were also given sequence editing task in class, using short clips of advertisements and compiling them into a video in Adobe Premiere Pro.

 Mr Martin explained shot sizes and some example from advertisement videos. We were also given an exercise on determining which shot size was used in certain frames to better grasp understanding of shot sizes. The shot size determines how large the area that’s visible within the frame. 

  1. Extreme wide shot
  2. Wide shot 
  3. Medium wide shot 
  4. Medium shot
  5. Medium close-up shot
  6. Close-up shot
  7. Extreme close-up shot 

Create footage and graphic folder in google drive, we took the time to experiment eight size shots with our partner and make into a short video. After that, Mr Martin also gave us a video to practice trimming. Get the spreadsheet, voice the dialogue and edit video on the next class.

Plot Point 2:

  • The "climatic turning point"

  • Possible solution is presented
  • Biggest cliffhanger: will the protagonist lose or win?

 

Week 4

 Mr Martin breaks us into two groups of Project S and B, during week 4, we are required to come and prepare for the storyboard shooting that were given to us. We decided on our crew members and practice production shooting for us next week.

 In addition, Mr Martin gave us a lecture on Mise En Scene which means putting on stage. The visuals, meaning, all of the elements that appear on camera and their arrangement:

 Composition

Week 6

In week 6, we compiled the videos that we shot in week 5 and edited to however we want, we were given the freedom to change the genre of the video itself or make it into a Netflix trailer. In class, Mr Martin showed us how to use colour correction tool in Premiere Pro by going to Windows>Workspace>Colour.
  • On the left side presenting the waves of colour, down to zero= shadows, close to 100 is brightness.
  • For the video, don't put everything above hundred otherwise it will be overexposed.

REFLECTION:

The overall experience of going through the exercise were challenging, we were slowly learning the tools and terms used in video filmmaking. The biggest challenge was to hear my own laptop's fan became so loud most of the time when Adobe Premiere Pro was open. Other than that, practical exercises given to us was quite an enjoyable journey, I especially enjoy the video storyboard shooting in week 5, it felt like an experience to be learning and understanding how the environment behind every scene of movies we watch are like. Although, our approach are a little laid back, it still gave us a basic comprehension of what the atmosphere are usually like in the setting,
