Equipment ,Sound track pro and After affects

In this lesson we learnt how to use After affects. After affects is an extremely useful way of editing films and video media. It allows you to add and edit, with thousands of different sources of editing. In this after affects recording we edited in the names of my cast into the film mission impossible 3.

I used sound track pro on the introduction of the film Panic Room. This was great practice for when I come to use the application for my own opening sequence. I found this effect quite hard to use when I first started but as I got used to it I found it very enjoyable to use. This is an effect that I will definitely want to use when I have put together my film.

In our media lesson we had a whole hour on being taught how to put the equipment together and how to use it. We had a look at the crane, the dolly and the over the shoulder camera. This lesson was useful because it enabled us to go out and use the cameras straight away. This was also a extremely useful lesson because it meant that we could start filming our opening sequences whenever we wanted.   

In this screen grab it shows how i used the introduction of Mission Impossible 3. It was great practice when i finally came to editing my film intro. I found it was particularly useful and helpful because it helped me to understand how to edit dialogue over the top of a media production.

Here are three screen shots from my music for Panic Room. I chose to add music and on top of the different tracks of music I chose to use sound effects. I felt that this helps to build the tension and give the audience a little bit of an idea of what the movie might be about without giving away too much.

Mundane Task

I have done this task to test all of the different camera angle shots that could be used for filming my opening sequence. I think that this has been very useful for me because I have deffinately improved on my understanding of final cut pro and I am confident that I can use it to the best of my ability when I create my opening sequence.

Actor Shots

 I chose this actor for my film because he portrays a young man dressed in smart clothes with a polo and chino's on. I also chose this person because he highlights a person who is not threatening but he could also be portrayed as some one with power. In the scene he will play smart banker and will be killed.

I chose this person for my scene because he portrays a smart, strong and high powered person. He will be playing the assassin in my film, he will be dressed in a black suit as shown in the picture he will also be heavily armed with weapons under his jacket.

Location Shots

I chose these shots because it shows a empty street in the middle of town, this shows a sense of mystery. I also used this shot because it is night time and because it is raining which makes for a scary and mysterious scene and setting.
