Final Class

This course was pretty interesting. I have always watched movies and never really wonder how they are made but this course has open my eyes to a lot of possibilities in video production.

However, I feel slighted because as a class we were not provided the necessary equipment to fully enjoy and learn as best as possible.

Our final projects are still due and not finished to date. It's coming along shooting went okay but still need some more scenes to tell the story.

I'm just hoping that next term will be better equipment.

Shooting

Although I was not at class, I was busy sourcing a tripod stand and a back drop but I still have not gotten them as yet. If  I am able to source these items we will just have to improvise. While at home also, I did a trial run on my cameras to see the effect that I would get from the shot, and fr what I have observed, it was really good. The clap method worked perfectly as everything was sync on the cameras and while watching you could see that the person in the video was doing the same thing at the same time. This will make it easier to edit.

Work to do

Well my group is doing a short film and we expect a lot of work even though we will be using point to shoot and we have little experience with editing or software available. however we begin shooting this week with the aim to be ready for next week

Crew List

27th of September

This class was interesting because we actually get to know the roles of the persons in the production cast. Such as the director, producer, art director,etc.

From that we did an in class assignment to decide on the crew list we will use in a Digicel tv Commercial.

above-the-line expenses

Expenditures that are negotiated or spent before filming begins. These costs can include rights for the material on which the screenplay is based; and the salaries for the screenwriter,producer, actors and directors.

Faces

Well it would be really neat to be able to get the video and audio separately and then sync them. It is that world foley artiste live in.I think we go need point and shoot cameras so we go need to do some of the work of trying to combine both.

Foley Artist

Today I learnt that a Foley Artist is the person who 'recreates' sound effects for film, television and radio productions.

Automatic Dialogue Replacement

So far we are into our final project. I am sure everybody wants to do their best to get a good grade.

Todays class we spoke of where we are in our projects and what we need to let our project come out a success.

A look at ADR

Automatic dialogue replacement (ADR) is a process of re-recording dialogue in the studio in synchronization with the picture. There are at least three roles in the ADR process: the actor, the recording engineer, and the sound editor. The actor has to recreate his or her performance and perfectly match up his or her speech to that of the film. The recording engineer has to recreate acoustic spaces so that it doesn’t sound like an actor is in a recording studio. The sound editor has to pick and choose the best parts of multiple takes, combine them into one composite clip, and keep everything synchronized to the picture.
