Media presentation 'what i learnt'
- 1. Freeze Frames I learnt how to add freeze frames into my film opening, this helped because we wanted to freeze the characters and add in their real names but have the film carry on without any cuts or jumps. This is where learning about the freeze frames helped as we could easily freeze one section of our film and have it carry on straight after without a jump.
- 2. Audio I learnt how to use audio and how to cut it to make it quieter in some scenes and also how to fade it in and out. I also learnt how to add in sounds to my film opening, such as the narrative, as we had to time that correctly so it went in the right place.
- 3. Adjustments I learnt how to use the adjustments properly when creating my film opening as we had to edit the audio, clip and video. We had to slightly speed some clips up because they were going to slowly or it made the clip look faster and therefor fitted more with the genre. We also had to make some lighting adjustments in the corridor scenes as they were very dark and you could hardly make out what was happening. I also learnt how to adjust the colours in the scene. This was helpful as it allowed us to change the freeze frames to black and white.
- 4. Volume I learnt by adjusting the volume in some clips you can’t hear the background noise and it also makes the song fit better with the opening as there are less noises and you can focus more on the film rather than random noises of people passing, thinking it was meant to be in the film opening. This helped a lot as we were using out college and there were still people about so we had to mute them out.
- 5. By using transitions it helped show that a scene had changed. Before I made this film opening I thought using transitions made films or videos look un professional, but I have learnt that if you use them properly and not a lot then they can be quite effective and nobody really notices.
