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.
