Task 6 0.2
- 1. Annotations of functions and tools By Tom Quigley
- 2. Here we downloaded audio that we created in the software “garage band” and uploaded it onto final cut pro. The audio was then edited by using basic EQ settings. For the characters voices we used a low past filter to cut out any high frequencies in the characters voices. For the music track I included a “mid boost” to boost the sound of the mid frequencies as they seemed very quiet when listening to it with the characters movements and voices. Final cut Pro
- 3. Another aspect of final cut pro was the effects. Here we were able to alter the visual image of each shot by including and combining different types of effects to achieve a thriller atmosphere for our opening sequence. We had a range of different effects, but we chose cool steel and a desert effect. From using these effects I learnt that we are able alter shots according to there environment. For example we were able to make a create a difference between inside and outside shots in our opening sequence.
- 4. GARAGE BAND Tracks Control bar Audio track
- 5. We used Garage band to create our music tracks for our opening sequence. We did this by playing around in the key of C minor and used the computer keyboard as a keyboard. We used the uploaded sounds as well from garage band to use as sound effects for certain movements. From using garage band I leant that having a audio track along side a film can help reflect the emotions that the director would want to portray to the audience. Sometimes music must be included to magnify the point of view that film makers want to portry.
- 7. For YouTube, we were able to upload or opening sequence for the public to see. Here I was able to change the video my adding or altering effects under the control bar. YouTube was very useful as it allowed us to produce a final product that was able to witnessed by everyone which is something that is very important for all film producers. From YouTube I learnt that it is very easy to display films to the general public with very minimum effort.
