Assignment #11 draft 5
This document discusses revisions being made to a group project between drafts. It notes that filming the curtains opening let in too much light and affected the camera lens. An idea to have papers blow from a desk also proved difficult to film without a strong enough fan. The shadow figure was changed from being seen on a laptop to a television for technical reasons. Ideas for the third draft include adding transitions, filming a special effect for a video camera, making the character look more nerdy, and putting titles on screen during footage rather than on a black screen.

Reflecting light means bouncing back light rays into the same medium after striking a surface. Some surfaces reflect a major fraction of incident light, while others reflect only a part and absorb the rest. Using a reflector can fill in dark areas by bouncing more light onto the subject from different angles. Faster shutter speeds can capture moving objects clearly by limiting motion blur, while slower speeds blur moving objects but capture stationary backgrounds more sharply.
Production of poster
The document describes the process of creating a poster for a thriller film. It discusses editing the original photo in Photoshop to make it scarier, including adding faded white writing behind the image that says "The Watcher." It details the challenges of choosing a font color that stands out against the black and white theme. Feedback suggested removing either the writing or the title, and the creator decided to make multiple posters, one with just the title and one with just the writing, to follow film marketing conventions.
Assignment #14 (p2): Photography Research And Prectice
Using a reflector helps reduce shadows by reflecting light onto areas not directly hit by the light source. Motion blur occurs when fast-moving objects appear blurred in photographs due to the shutter speed averaging samples over half the time it takes to capture each frame. Good framing uses objects in the photo to create a frame around the subject and draws attention to it, while bad framing has empty space that makes photos appear awkward.
Examples of Video shots and composition
The document discusses different types of video shots including wide shots, medium shots, close-ups, cutaways, inserts, establishing shots, point-of-view shots, two-shots, and interview shots. It also covers basic shot composition techniques like rule of thirds, framing, depth, leading lines, and layering. Students are assigned a project to film a short video using different shot types and compositions.
Intermediate Videography - JEA/NSPA National Convention
Video lessons to go beyond the basics of shooting video. Includes a 6 word story, 6 shot video lesson and student examples.
Film techniques revealed
The document outlines seven steps to creating an effective drama film: 1) Create a dramatic narrative structure with exposition, complication, and resolution phases; 2) Develop characters with depth and purpose who actively influence the story; 3) Include dynamic pivots like disequilibrium to change the narrative's direction; 4) Prioritize visual storytelling over verbal explanations; 5) Consider sound design as it "makes a production"; 6) Edit scripts ruthlessly to solve problems; and 7) Fully plan all steps before filming to ensure the best final product.
Different types of photos
The document summarizes three different types of photography - daguerreotype, Polaroid, and digital. Daguerreotype was the earliest commercially successful form, using a silvered copper plate and requiring long exposures. Polaroid introduced instant photography in 1947 using self-developing film. Digital cameras store light data as pixels and binary information, allowing images to be viewed digitally, with the first made in 1975 but now commonly used.

Show Keynote - Matt Leonowicz
This document summarizes a student's work on a web series project. It discusses (1) researching existing web series to understand common themes and styles, (2) organizing into groups and assigning roles like editor, (3) planning the three episode series including auditions, a title sequence, and character introductions, (4) addressing feedback between episodes to improve sound quality and acting, and (5) reflecting on meeting deadlines but needing better planning and communication.
Question 7
The filmmakers experienced several issues during filming and editing of their preliminary task. Shots were difficult to execute as planned, such as a match on action shot of a door that was inconsistent due to different doors. Editing was also challenging, as speeding up shots to link them made the scene too fast. Throughout the process, the filmmakers learned that one problem can create other issues, and that matching angles and pacing shots smoothly is difficult. Upon review, they found the conversation was too rushed at less than half a second, and one actor's motivation and clarity were issues. With improved techniques, the outcome would now be better.
Preliminary task evaluation
Sukhpreet evaluates their group's pre-production work for a preliminary film task. They found the work was evenly distributed and they were able to discuss issues that arose. Finding willing cast members was difficult. They should have considered camera angles more. An iPad was used to film, which had limitations like an inability to use a tripod, but the quality was good. They learned the importance of landscape over portrait orientation and avoiding unwanted backgrounds. Editing in iMovie was challenging but the inexperienced group was able to cut clips together. The completed task met criteria like character movement and dialogue. Overall, Sukhpreet learned about camera techniques, iMovie editing, storyboards, and lessons like proper filming conditions and att

- Students discussed the genres, themes, and concepts they explored in their individual projects. They also shared what they learned and targets for improvement.
- For the group project, they decided on the thriller genre and discussed conventions they would use like stalking, obsession, crime, and possession.
- Inspiration was drawn from films like Paranormal Activity, Black Swan, The Ring, and The H for techniques like lighting, close-ups, and long shots. These would inform their opening sequence.
- Costume and makeup from The Ring was cited as an
Assignment 12
A preliminary task is an opportunity to practice different camera shots and plan an opening sequence. A good example used transitions between a variety of shots and angles and had smooth camera movement. It also included a creative credit effect. While the camera movement wasn't perfectly smooth, it was rated a 3 for including most essential elements. A bad example relied on one constant shot for most of the task and had continuity errors. It was rated a 2 for lacking variety. The importance of including a range of shots to keep the viewer engaged was learned.
Assignment 6 edited
The document describes the cinematography, editing, sound, and visual elements used in the films Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Ring, Se7en, and Gattaca. It analyzes how specific shots, angles, transitions, music, and imagery create an atmosphere of mystery and suspense in each film. Elements like flickering images, obscured faces, and the mixing of normal and abnormal settings leave questions unanswered, generating intrigue and enigma for the viewer.
Assignment 5 inspirational scenes edited
The document discusses potential inspirations for an opening sequence from 5 films: Breakfast at Tiffany's, Let the Right One In, Chicago, Zodiac, and Mildred Pierce. Specific scenes and elements are highlighted from each film, including costumes, locations, lighting, characters, and mood. These inspirations will be drawn from to create an original opening sequence that combines different elements from the films.
Film noir and drama - Genre Partner Project
The document provides information about the film genre of film noir, including its typical visual features, origins in the early 20th century, and examples of influential films from the 1940s-1950s that exemplify the genre such as Mildred Pierce, Sunset Boulevard, and The Big Sleep. These films often featured dark lighting, murder mysteries, femme fatale characters, and private detectives. The genre reflected the pessimistic attitudes of the postwar era when it developed but saw little change until the 1970s with the emergence of neo-noir films.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Assignment 11 draft six.
- 1. ASSIGNMENT 11: REDRAFT #4. GETTING INTO GROUPS. Key Code: Abigail: Gledis: Joanne: Vera: Group Work: Group work:
- 2. Teacher assessment of our second opening sequence:
- 3. Feedback of our first opening sequence:
- 4. Decisions and Revisions. • While we were making draft two, we came across a problem that we would face – this was the filming of the curtains opening. • We decided not to do this, as when the curtains opened quickly, too much light flooded into the room which affected the lens of the camera. • Also, originally we wanted to have a gust of wind blow papers from our character’s desk. This proved too hard to film as we didn’t have a powerful enough electrical fan.
- 5. Decisions and Revisions. • Another decision we had to make whilst filming was the idea of a shadow figure being seen in the character’s laptop. • We couldn’t do this as the laptop couldn’t be switched off any other way than manually. • To combat this, we reverted back to the initial idea of the shadow being seen in the television.
- 6. New Idea. (for draft three) • Abigail
- 10. Transitions and special effects. • For draft three, we want to use cross dissolve over the text, so it flows nicely. • We have also considered using a special effect for the video camera when the character records herself. •
- 11. Changes in character and mise en scene. • For draft three, we want to make our character look more nerdy. • We will accomplish this by using large oversized glasses, and a simpler costume that makes her look even less confident than in the first and second drafts.
- 12. Titles. • After making draft two, we realised that the titles on a black screen didn’t work as well as we initially thought it would. • It made the opening sequence too disjointed and wasn’t appropriate for the type of opening sequence that we wanted to make as we had a linear narrative. • For draft three, we want to put our titles on screen alongside our footage. This will work better as it won’t break away from what is happening.
