FINAL CUT

Estate of mind from Jemma Goulds on Vimeo.

When working on my preliminary task, there was not that much that was required of me to know and to do. whereas with the opening there was a lot more that was needed to do and there was more skills that needed to be imputed into the opening. in the preliminary task editing was just cutting we was not using editing techniques. in the final product i learn how to make the footage fade and dissolve whereas in the preliminary task all i had to was cut. i learnt how to add sound to the footage and how to extract the footage from sound and how to put then together. while working on the opening i learnt how to use the camera properly like how how to screen the video setting from wide to normal and how to set up the sound settings on the HD camera. in the final product i learnt how to position the camera so that you avoid the light being too bright or too dark, also how to avoid shadows. i learnt how to use the filming room properly like working the lights.

in the production of the final product i was able to learn how to use programmes like adobe premier pro and adobe after effects, how to annotate on YouTube and how to use photoshop. after learning how to use these programmes, they allowed me to be able to enhance the quality of our final product. also we started using the tripod in the final product which improved the camerawork because the camera was steady.

in the preliminary task i learnt how to add basic title fonts on Adobe Premier Pro but with the opening of the film, i was using adobe after affects to make our titles and production logo, i learnt after having a tutorial that using this program that i would be able to add effects to the titles and make it more exciting.

i learnt how to add effects like a red filter which we used in the drug scene to show the drugs more. another effect that i learnt is how to make the colour go black and white and reverse the action, we used this with the smoke scene and the alcohol scene.
