Motion graphics and_compositing_video_analysis_worksheet 4
The document summarizes a title/credit sequence for a period film. Visual effects are used to make freeze frames from the film appear old fashioned and match the style of the film. Scenes are shown briefly and freeze before old style credits appear in an old fashioned font over 4-5 seconds, then it changes to another scene. Technical details are provided such as the video format being HD 1080p at 30 fps and compression being MP4. Motion graphics and compositing techniques used include blurring, sharpening, and changing colors to look more period.

Ansel Adams was an American photographer and conservationist born in 1902 in San Francisco. He is known for his black and white photographs of the American wilderness, especially Yosemite National Park. The document describes one of Adams' early photographs from the 1920s showing rocky mountains and a reflective body of water. It discusses his compositional choices to include the sky and reflection, and notes the photo likely did not use special effects as cameras were only black and white at that time.
Research 3
Colin Prior is a renowned landscape photographer from Glasgow, Scotland known for his photos of the Scottish highlands and other locations around the world. He has released five photography books and is described as framing his photos carefully to include the key elements while excluding unnecessary details. In one example Alaskan photo, he frames a snowy mountain in the distance with wasteland and small water puddles in the foreground. The sky above is pure blue without clouds. His strength is said to be strategic photo composition, while a weakness is not using photographic techniques, though his work looks good without them.
Film analysing article
Genre analysis examines elements like setting, characters, themes, and narrative in films to determine if they conform to a particular genre's conventions. Auteur theory considers if a director imparts their individual style and prioritizes artistic merit over commercial success. The document analyzes Luc Besson's Leon and whether he can be considered an auteur for breaking action film conventions. Rian Johnson is also discussed but deemed not quite an auteur yet as his film Looper adheres closely to science fiction tropes. Famous auteurs like Quentin Tarantino and their recognizable directorial styles are contrasted with more formulaic genre directors.

Examples of similar music videos will be provided and the video aims to be creepy but with a humorous twist through its horror-comedy genre.
Remake article
Remakes are common in modern film due to factors like synergy, star power, and technology upgrades. Quarantine was a successful remake of the Spanish film REC, released only a year later to capitalize on REC's popularity while it was still fresh. Similarly, The Karate Kid and War of the Worlds remakes benefited from starring big names like Jackie Chan and Tom Cruise, and from employing special effects not possible in the originals to appeal to modern audiences. These remakes were more financially successful than the original films due to leveraging existing recognition of the stories and intentionally timing releases when related films were popular.
Evaluation 2
The document summarizes a photo shoot reviewing the aims, descriptions, editing processes, and final images. It discusses adjusting colors, contrasts, and sharpening photos to capture landscapes. Strengths included composition and use of techniques like rule of thirds. Weaknesses included some blurry or dark areas. The photographer was pleased overall but aims to improve compositions and get a wider range of shots for future projects.
