PROJECT 2: VIDEO

Exercise 1: Framing

Fig 1.1; Framing Shots; 

In this exercise, we are to film short clips according the shot given, for example for Frontal MCU, which means front medium close-up, we need to film a 5 second video with that shot, then proceed to edit them in Premier Pro with captions of the shot. 

Rules: 
  • Shoot wide shot with wide angle.
  • The rest ZOOM IN to get soft background.
  • Refer to the examples provided or google references for GOOD composition.
  • Avoid overexposed or underexposed (too bright or too dark).
  • Do the shooting during day time.
  • Shoot landscape format video, 5 seconds per shot.
  • Edit with CAPTION (Mention the shot size), export video for submission.
With that, our lecturer partner us up in pairs and we proceed to start the filming. My partner for this exercise is Jo Min. However, we do not have time to film the 2 of us together, so we did mine instead. The model in my progression is my partner, I'm grateful for her.

After finishing the filming, I imported all the clips into Premier Pro and proceed to edit them, I cut out the part where I think is not good.

After finishing the whole editing process, I then continue on inserting the subtitle for the shots.

Exercise 2: Offline Editing

Fig 1.5; Clips Provided; 

In this exercise, we are to edit the clips provided by our lecturer, Mr. Martin, filmed by our seniors. The order of the clips are not right, so we will have to refer to the original video, which is a short film name "Lalin" to do the editing. Below is my progression:

Exercise 3: Music Video 

Fig 1.9; Exercise Slides;

In this exercise, we are to film a short (at least 30 second) music video. We are to do this exercise in a group of 3 people. My partners are Jo Min and Chze Huang. After some discussion, our chosen music for the exercise is Good Boy by GD X Taeyang. Furthermore, we decided to film the music video in campus. 

Fig 2.0; Video clips;

After that, our friend, Chze Huang uploaded the video and shared it to us, and I proceed to film the rest of the MV by myself. After that part is done, I then edit them in Premier Pro. Below is my Progression:

Fig 2.2; MV Editing Process 2;

Fig 2.3; MV Editing Process 3; 

I first placed the music that I downloaded, then proceed to cut the video in to the parts that I wanted and inserted them. Next, I added some adjustment layers to it so that it would look a bit nice. I also design a little bit at the front of the video for the words to come in.

Exercise 4: Production Shoot

Fig 2.6; Work Distribution; 

In this exercise, we are to shoot the selected scenes from the slides in a big crew. This is so that we can understand and experience how a real production crew works. As can see from fig 2.6, my job is managing the lighting. Below is some of our crew's photos:

REFLECTIONS

In these exercises, I think the the second one, which is the Lalin exercise, makes me feel quite happy as I got to learn the story and also it's the first exercise that I did as well, so I was quite enjoying the whole experience of learning how the software functions and stuff. In the first one, it was my first time trying to film something like this, so I wasn't exactly sure as to how I should execute it, and I also wasn't sure that the shots I take are right or not. However, I started to slowly learn them as time goes by. In the third one, I feel quite embarrassed as I'm not the type of person to show myself on screen, so it feels weird to be filming myself, and for a music video at that too. I feel like the pose are weird and awkward. I like the 4th exercise as I got to know new people and also experience a production shoot. I have never done this before, so it is a completely new experience for me. Even so, I enjoyed my time learning while having fun, and also getting to know new people.

He told us that this time we're allowed to be in groups to work on our major project. Furthermore, Mr. Kannan also mentioned how we should brainstorm for our major project. After that I started to think how I should proceed with my major project while in the meantime, searching for partners. I then started to group up with Jia Yee for my major project. We then started to brainstorm for ideas, both of us have came up with all sorts of ideas, yet none of them feels like it would be best suited for us.

Fig 1.1; Reaper Test Game; sauce:  TDS Gamezone ; Although the graphic of this game does not feel as good as the other game in Gamezone. However, it is still nice as it uses simple shapes and design, the colors used in the game does not feel very out of place, the background also feels alright, but for my first time playing this game, I did not know about the environment of the game. Furthermore, the music chosen also able to fit in to the game itself. The story of the game is nice as there's a goal behind it. Due to the limitations the developer faces, there won't be more to the story. Moreover, the movement of the character is slightly "slippery" as it sometimes slipped even th...
