Western Credits

In this lesson we learnt how to use premiere to make intro credits which is directly relevant to our coursework. I learnt how make different still images move making them into a credits scene at the start. The specimen we used for this practical was the opening for The Good the Bad and the Ugly.
It was relatively easy to do but took quite a bit of time to get used to. For the it took some time to get the timing of the spin in sync with the movement across the screen.

Sound mixing point break

This lesson we learnt how to use Premiere(Pr) to mix sounds in over the natural sounds. This adds more emotion to the scene. In this scene, a man is being chased after bombing a venue. I added in the sound of footsteps on concrete to emphasize the heavy foots steps to show that he is in a panic. How loud the sounds are depends on how close it is to the camera and the volume of the actual sound. Syncing the audio with the video footage was the hard part here. In Pr, it is difficult to eliminate the white noise making the suspension of disbelief lower.

Planning
         
              There was really no planning in the making of this clip. We had a plan initially but never got to it. All the scenes here are decided on set. When it came to deciding on ideas, everybody threw in ideas and shot techniques from different films. We all listened to each other making the work relatively easy. We split up our jobs being Eyes and Jhon being the directors, Abby doing the camerawork and me editing the raw clips.

Making of the film

                We decide that the clips would be bland and would focus on the editing to make it look good. I  used continuity editing as my main technique in editing and pulling the frame back a couple of frames to give time for the audience to make sense of the frame after the cut. The camerawork and the shot angles allowed for very easy editing and organisation of the different clips. In the aspect of audio, there were no dialogues since we weren't well prepared. This gave me a challenge to put sounds in mainly non-diagetic sounds to make the clip seem funny.

What could we have done better
                 Up to this point, you may have seen that weren't very organised and most of the work is improvised. If we followed out initial plan it would've been more organised and looked better. Over the duration of this project, my laptop battery circuit was malfunctioning resulting in the computer needing to be plugged in all the time to be used. During editing, it started functioning. I decided to unplug the adapter. It worked for sometime but then it stopped functioning while editing again causing me to lose part of my work.
