W1 - Arranging Video

Week 1 / 03.28.2022

In our first week, Mr Martin introduces us to overall our exercises and projects in Video and Sound Production Classes. (Source: VSP wk 1 briefing MAR22)

Arranging Video Clips in Adobe Premiere Pro

For the exercises, we had a basic introduction to the software Adobe Premiere Pro. There are 2 exercises that we need to do this week, "Ex 1 - Mints Commercial" and "Ex 2 - Doritos Commercial".

Exercise 1 - Mints Commercial.

Fig. 1.1 / Mints Video Footage, Week 1 (03.28.2022)

After we download all the video footage, we only need to combine them into one video full. In this exercise, the videos are already arranged. That's why we only combined them together on Adobe Premiere Pro.

Fig. 1.2 / Arranging Mints Video Clips, Week 1 (03.28.2022)

Here is the result.

Exercise 2 - Doritos Commercial.

Fig. 1.4 / Doritos Video Footage, Week 1 (03.28.2022)

Same with exercise 1, but this time we need to arrange it first because the videos are not in the correct order. I arranged and renamed them in the correct order. After that, same with the previous one, combine it in Adobe Premiere Pro.

Here is the result.

Film Study - Munich 2005 ‧ Thriller/Drama ‧ 2h 44m
Mr Martin also wanted us to watch a movie, Munich (2005).

The story structure and sound design will be discussed the following week.

W2 - Shooting Exercise

Week 2 / 04.04.2022
This week, we learnt about the earliest cinema, framing with different size shots, camera angle, subject angle, subject height, screen direction, etc.

Shot size: The shot size determines how large the area is visible within the frame.

Extreme Wide Shot (a broad view of the surroundings around the character and conveys scale, distance, and geographical location, showing the character's environment)

Fig. 2.1 / EWS, Week 2 (04.04.2022)
Wide Shot (Includes the entire subject and important objects in the immediate surroundings)

Fig. 2.2 / WS, Week 2 (04.04.2022)
Medium Wide Shot (cut off across the legs above or below the knees. It is wide enough to show the physical setting in which the action is taking place, it permits a nice balance of figure and surrounding)

Fig. 2.3 / MWS, Week 2 (04.04.2022)
Medium Shot (important to understanding - Gesture and expression, from the person's waist up, letting hands and the lower half of his body fall outside the frame)

Fig. 2.4 / MS, Week 2 (04.04.2022)
Medium Close-Up Shot (Subject character from approximately midway between waist and shoulders to above the head)

Fig. 2.5 / MCU, Week 2 (04.04.2022)
Close-Up Shot (Isolate the most important part of the subject)

Fig. 2.6 / CU, Week 2 (04.04.2022)
Extremely Close-Up Shot (focus on important detail either to increase the drama or impact on a situation or to allow the viewer to see necessary picture information more clearly)

Fig. 2.7 / ECU, Week 2 (04.04.2022)
Over the Shoulder (Shows the subject from behind the shoulder of another person)

Fig. 2.8 / OS, Week 2 (04.04.2022)

Camera Angle: Rule of Thirds: Divides the frame into thirds both horizontally and vertically. aesthetically pleasing spots are marked by the points where the lines cross

Fig. 2.9 - 2.10 / Rule of Thirds, Week 2 (04.04.2022)

Subject Angle: Composition

Face Modelling (turned 45o or 3⁄4 angling to the camera. Front and side of the face)

Fig. 2.11 / 45o, Week 2 (04.04.2022)
3D Solidity (2 or more surfaces are photographed. Angling the camera in relation to the subject so that two sides of the objects are viewed)

Fig. 2.12 / 3D, Week 2 (04.04.2022)
Parallel Lines Diminish and Converge (preferably toward the right, to ensure that the viewer’s eyes are carried into the distance)

Fig. 2.13 / Line Diminish, Week 2 (04.04.2022)

Camera Angle: Subject Height

Eye-Level Angle (eye level of an observer of average height or from the subject’s eye level)

Fig. 2.14 / Eye-level Angle, Week 2 (04.04.2022)
Low Angle (tilted upward to view the subject. Low angle shot can make a character look bigger, stronger, or nobler)

Fig. 2.15 / Low Angle, Week 2 (04.04.2022)
High Angle (tilted downward to view the subject. A high angle shot can make a character look smaller, younger, weak, confused, or more childlike)

Fig. 2.16 / High Angle, Week 2 (04.04.2022)

Screen Direction

Dynamic Screen Direction (Constant screen travel depicts subject motion in one direction only. A series of shots of a person walking, a car driving, a plane flying – should move in the same direction to show progression.)

Fig. 2.17 - 2.18 / Dynamic or Moving, Week 2 (04.04.2022)
Static Screen Direction (When planning shots with two characters, you need to understand the camera movement in relation to the 180o rule. The rule enforces the camera to stay on a horizontal axis and not cross-sections so that it will disorient the viewer. The horizontal axis is called the “ Line of Action”)

Fig. 2.19 - 2.20 / Static or 180o Rule, Week 2 (04.04.2022)

Exercises

We have 2 exercises for this week. This is the first exercise.

Fig. 2.21 / Exercise 1 Requirements, Week 2 (04.04.2022)

Reminder.

Fig. 2.22 / Reminder, Week 2 (04.04.2022)

Exercise 1
This is my footage. I find it a little difficult to achieve a soft background for a medium shot using a cellphone camera.

Fig. 2.23 / Footage Exercise 1, Week 2 (04.04.2022)

Then I arranged and edited them in Adobe Premiere Pro. I put some videos that have nothing to do with assignments because my goal is like a vlog. But I suddenly feel unsure whether it's okay to be like this or not. What has to do with exercise is the one that has a caption.

Fig. 2.24 / Editing, Week 2 (04.04.2022)

I put the caption with this tutorial and put some effects too.

Fig. 2.25 - 2.26 / Caption and Effects, Week 2 (04.04.2022)

Here is the result for Exercise 1.

Fig. 2.27 / Result Exercise 1, Week 2 (04.04.2022)

Exercise 2
This is the second exercise.

Fig. 2.28 - 2.29 / Exercise 2 Requirements, Week 2 (04.04.2022)

After we download the footage, we need to do some simple editing on Adobe Premiere Pro. The video clip is about Lalin.

Fig. 2.30 / Original Lalin Video Clip, Week 2 (04.04.2022)

Before we edit, we need to see the storyboard first from Mr Martin so that we can easily know which scenes or parts to be next.

Next, we cut the "Action" and "Cut" parts and do one transition effect, which is Cross Dissolve.

Fig. 2.31 / Editing Exercise 2, Week 2 (04.04.2022)

Here is the result.

Mr Martin wanted us to try the tools for this footage.

Then I try the tools. It's really convenient.
