KeyFrame Effect

We used the keyframing tool on Final Cut Pro to create these edits. We had to coordinate how it would move across the screens and rotation it would have in the edit. They use these is mostly short films and ads that we now see on the internet and on our TV's. These are only the few uses of Keyframing because there is much more to.

Clone Effect

The task was to create the cloning effect by following the four rules.

• Steady Camera
• Same Lighting
• Eye line
• To keep self in same position , so that other frame is not interfered.

First we had to come up with on idea to use in our cloning video such as an argument, conversation etc. Then we had to research about how to do it and what do watch out for such as the camera positioning must not move and the lighting must be the same because when you do the edit it will show. After we recorded and where satisfied with out footage we captured. We put them into Final Cut Pro then when I attempted to edit it the white balance was a little different so it looked obvious but I did what I could then uploaded it to my blog.

Annoying Orange Effect

First we had to watch a Tutorial about how to edit it to look like annoying orange. After that we had to record some footage of our faces and an abject that we will use to put the face on. In Final Cut Pro we cropped and resized our videos and then we lined the face to the picture. After that we masked our picture by using shapes then softened them then used some colour correction to make sure it blends.

Planning & StoryBoard.

Video Profile Dairy

On week one i made myself set up a blogging network for myself so later on i could then introduce my video profile. then i did my introduction to my video and started planning out my script and story boards.

i have completed this and met my target for my work to be fully completed, i made sure when i got home i did all the work in class saving it and taking it on my USB.

i have learnt that if i put more effort into my work then i can get a good grade i also learned that i can indeed edit videos and create them and they will get better as i keep doing them, my methods of this was asking for help then doing it my self and i enjoyed learning how to make the video its self.

in future i will try to take more things in rather than taking things in one by one so the whole process is much easier to tackle with.

 

On week two my target was too learn how to use the equipment camera and also disguising existing video profiles and adding more to my script and planning made sure i succeeded in that and completed that and met that target have learnt that i am good with the camera and i know how to opp-orate the camera with the learning activity's we had done with the camera have found out that i am more motivated by actually competing against my class mates in my learning because it makes everything more exciting in the work because you want to see how other videos will turn out.in the future i will again put my had up more if i don't understand things about the camera rather than just pressing the buttons on the camera.

 

On week three my target was to start filming properly and review my footage that i had shot,i felt like i had done that with every camera shot of my video and analysed what had needed to be changed and what i wanted to add so i re did some of my scenes to help my video be a success,i have learnt that in this type of task that my learning was good and that i can have a more of an understanding in what i am doing in my video analyzing have learnt that i am motivated by sitting down with my teacher and discussing what part of my film is good and what parts i may have to change, so i enjoyed the good and bad feedback, what frustrates me was sometimes i wasn't quit sure if my ideas would go out to plan and if i could carry them out. in future i will try to listen to more advice for me to make my video good and for me to also be an effective learner.

 

On week four my target was to edit my video more and complete work for my assessment achieved this by using he Mac and finally putting all my shots together also adding music and other special effects to make my video more interesting to my people’s have learnt that i have developed a skill as i went on for editing although i still feel it wasn't as good as others but then i got use to the software i was using. what motivates me as a learner is again competition with other peoples videos in the class and how they are editing there own video and how good mine has to be, this makes it challenging for me and i really enjoy it. what frustrates ne is sometimes when the editing is not going as well as you thought it was when you see other peoples editing. In future i will try to make my editing more cleaner and try and advance my skills in it more.

Video Profile Evaluation

I think my video profile is good. It meets the target of telling people about myself and what I'm about. Also there are lots of different video clips and different angle shots in the video so it's constantly different. I think I'm most proud of how it's all come together because I think the content is interesting and exciting. It shows lots of different editing skills. I think I could have filmed more so I could have make it longer and also with more shots to make it even more exciting, or maybe different location not just sit and talk, I could have walked around and talked or have been in an more interesting place.


Next time I would spend more time on making it look different from other video profiles because then mine would be unique to me and that is what the video profile is about and also to make it look and sound more professional I could use a better quality camera. Also I could use more equipment rather than just a tripod for example a microphone for better sound quality.

In the future I will try to manage my time more carefully. By breaking up my work and arranging it into small sets every week, I think I will be able to work more speedily without hassle. I would also like to be able to use the cameras more confidently as I feel that I was capable of shooting more professional styled clips. Although I prefer to learn things visually, I think taking notes during lessons and keeping them in an organised file would remind me of what I know and understand, and should I ever need to go back and restudy an area I would be able to. i will try to remain an effective learner, so i can push myself further and develop my knowledge as an individual and team partner.

For my first assignment I think it's pretty good considering we only had 5 weeks to finish the assignment. I also learned a lot of different skills using Final Cut Pro and I think will really help for next time we have to film project I hope I can learn from this experience and grow my knowledge to film and produce better quality videos. But at this moment in time I think my video is pretty good and shows people who don't know me what I'm all about.

Filming was really fun because I like being in front of the camera. Editing was also fun because I added loads of techniques and stuff into the video, mainly audio clips, montages of pictures and with some special effects for video and picture transitions such as: Cross Dissolve, Fade ins & Outs and many more, it gave me so much more better looking footage and making the video look very dynamical. I got to see how it all turned out and putting it all together was great as I had put a lot of effort into it.
