Editing Editing is the cutting, re-arranging or ordering of footage. Also in editing programs you can colour grade and do colour correction etc. Order of shots The meaning of a sequence will change dramatically depending on the ordering of shots. Its possible to show shots together to either show a close connection or to emphasise contrast (Juxtaposing scenes). One theory is the soviet montage theory. This theory by lev kuleshoe is a concept made in the 1920's called the kuleshoe effect. It is where showing an actors expression will have different effects depending what the actor is shown creating different intentions. Coined by sergei Eisentein the soviet montage theory is the idea that placing together seperate sections of film could create ideas or have an impact beyond individual shots. For example eye + water = crying Ear + next door = listening  mouth + bird = singing A montage can be described as shots that are depictive. The main 5 are; 1.metric montage...

Sound There are two different types of sound in film, Diegetic and non-diegetic sound. Diegetic sound is any sound presented as in the source from the original shooting. It may be on or off screen depending on the framing and where the sound originates. On the other hand is non-diegetic sound. This sound is not originating from the source and is not expected to be heard in the real world. It is not implied to be a part of the action and is neither visible on or off screen. An example of this would be a narrative's voice, mood music or sound effects. A film we reviewed was made using only diegetic sounds called 'No country for old men'. With no added sounds in post production it creates this really dramatic and tense atmosphere.  Music - music can add to a scene by building tension or to mimic emotion felt by a character. Music themes are used often to link certain popular music to that film so it is more well known. Music can hold several meanings such ...

Camera Angles As well as Shot Types you have camera angles that co inside with the shot types. There are 5 Main types of Camera Angles, they are; The Birds-eye view, High Angle, Eye Level, Low Angle, Oblique/Canted. The Birds-eye view This camera angle shows a scene from directly above the subject(s). It is a strange angle as many objects from this angle are unrecognisable such as umbrellas in a crowd or dancers legs'. The use of this angle is to put the audience in a position of dominance and or higher power, godlike. The subjects may seem ant like giving them minimal significance, or to be shown as part of a greater scheme such as war. High angle This camera angle is a lot less extreme compared to a birds-eye view due to the large difference in altitude. The camera may be held by a crane to give an overview of the general scene. The subject(s) are still less significant or it may be used to make the subject(s) feel...

Space bar = Pause and play ▶️ + ⏸️ Arrow keys = L & R , advance back or forward, hold both and playback in slow-motion Ctrl/Command for Mac (Z, X, C, V) = Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste No Ctrl (V, C) = arrow tool, Cut razor + & - = Zoom on timeline I & O = In & Out of a clip In = start, Out = end K = play L = speed J = slow/backwards Home = beginning of timeline Back Space = deletes one clip Here is the piece of footage alongside the audio, all cameras were recording audio so we could directly drag the media source in. After dragging the source I set the input time to 10:00:00:00. To play the clip I had to press space bar and to pause press it again. Also I used K to stop the clip when I sped it up using L. After I had this footage I implemented other cameras such as ones that focused on the drummer. Here I have two different cameras shown in the program. One in the source and one in the program which is my final edit. I was mid wa...

When creating the poster I had to become familiar with Photoshop. Two sections were split from where I was working. In college I completed the base of my poster and at home I finished the poster on Photoshop. With the help of a friend I was able to pick up the more technical aspects of Photoshop. For example I was learning the use of curves and how they alter colour as well as how to screen layers. It allowed me to create certain effects with my poster that added to the story and allowed me to not have less blocky pictures. In my poster I used guidelines to allow me to portion my poster fairly so one side isn't heavier than the other. I was able to centralise the poster with an image of Henry Cavill. My images do not leak off of the page and fit smoothly in each section. My poster gives a small hint towards the ''film'' without revealing too much. The story of the poster is that a man is caught between his military background and his desire to fight again along...
