I deleted unneeded clips, imported new ones, added and trimmed clips in sequence to build the video, adjusted a clip's rotation and trimming, copied and trimmed a reused clip, increased the playback speed of two clips, then added a white background.
Alex Torrens used Final Cut Express HD software to edit together video footage without black gaps. He cropped the videos to remove unwanted start and end sections, aligned the sound with the footage, and double checked that the edited video played in the correct order. Possible improvements for future edits included keeping the camera steady and matching body movements exactly.
The document contains information about the simple present tense and its uses. It discusses how the simple present tense is used to express habits, general truths, repeated actions, unchanging situations, emotions, wishes, instructions, directions, fixed arrangements and future time after conjunctions. It also includes an exercise asking to fill in the correct form of the verb "walk" and a test question asking to fill in the correct form of the verb "operate" according to its use.
The document describes a person's weekly schedule, who gets up at 8am every weekday morning and takes the bus to class from 6-10pm as a student. On weekends they sleep in later and take an English class in the afternoon before returning home at 6pm. Every night they watch TV.
The document is a summary of the editing process for a film project. It describes:
1) Importing, trimming, and arranging video clips to build the narrative. Clips were trimmed and rearranged to fit the script and remove mistakes.
2) Adding text overlays to introduce each new clip and provide context. Clips from other films were also imported and trimmed.
3) Importing a theme song and adding it to the beginning, trimming and fading it to match a television show opening.
4) Continuing to refine clip order and text to complete the project and provide evidence for challenging conventions of real media.
This document contains weekly reflections from a video production project. In week 1, the producer imported video into Premiere Pro and added effects like cropping, warping, freezing frames, and zooming. In week 2, effects like changing grass color and adding static were applied. Week 3 involved masking and cloning an artist. Overlays and color adjustments were also used. Week 4 featured replacing the sky with a space video and adding inverts. Week 5 had duplicating layers, adding green screen smoke, and nesting an overlay video.

The document describes the process of editing a film opening sequence in MoviePlus X6. Key steps include importing and trimming video clips, stabilizing shaky footage, changing color parameters, adding text overlays with animations, and importing and layering various sound effects and music tracks to accompany the visuals. Feedback from a teacher suggested adding more camera shots and improving continuity between scenes. In response, the documenter filmed additional clips and rotated and trimmed them to fit together smoothly in the sequence.
1) The document describes the process of editing a film teaser trailer, including importing footage, organizing clips, deleting unusable shots, and renaming clips.
2) Text and graphics were created in PowerPoint and Motion for use in the teaser, including title cards and character names. These elements were exported and imported into Final Cut Pro for editing.

The document discusses changes needed to improve a movie trailer, including adding institutional information in the credits. After examining credits on sample trailers, the author decides the first example resembles their movie poster credits. However, when trying to open the trailer file to make edits, the same locking issue reoccurs, preventing changes from being saved. The author creates a text-only version instead to demonstrate how the improved trailer would appear.
I made changes to my film poster by deleting the old indent, inserting a new indent, copying and pasting it onto the poster, cropping the excess background around the indent using the crop tool, reducing the size of the indent so it fit properly, and exporting the final poster as a JPEG file.
The document describes using various tools in word and drawplus to crop an indent image, enlarge a line, change its color to black, copy and paste the line to cover the edges of the indent, and export the final image as a jpeg file.

The document discusses the use of various media technologies in the construction and research stages of a project. It describes learning to use Slideshare to upload documents like word files and PowerPoints to a blog. It also discusses learning to use Serif Draw Plus X5 and Serif Photoplus X5 software to edit images, add colors and textures, and export files. Sound effects from sites like Sound Jay were downloaded and layered in Serif Movie Plus X6 to create an immersive trailer.
The document describes changes made to a film trailer project. Issues arose from using different software and computers at home vs. at school. Fonts, sounds, and other files were not consistent between locations. The student tried various solutions like adding files to a USB drive, but ran into other problems like file locking. In the end, the student changed the font as needed at school and exported the updated trailer to their blog.
The document summarizes changes made to a magazine cover design, including changing the date, issue number, price and website to red and placing them below the masthead. The fonts were limited to two styles for consistency, and the magazine title and film title used different fonts to stand out. Arrows were added between images on the dark background border and a rectangle ensured consistent spacing between images. The barcode was also rotated.
This document discusses the BBFC 15 film classification in the UK. A 15 rating allows for strong violence, frequent strong language, portrayals of sexual activity, and brief scenes of sexual violence. Discriminatory language is permitted as long as it is not endorsed by the film. Drug use can be shown but not in an encouraging way. The document also explains why the filmmaker chose a 15 rating over 12 or 12A, as those restrict disturbing or imitable content, and a 15 rating gives more scope to explore the disturbing nature of schizophrenia for a psychological thriller.

The document discusses the author's use of various media technologies in their construction, research, planning and evaluation stages. They learned how to use Slideshare to upload documents like word files and powerpoints to their blog. They also learned how to use Serif Draw Plus X5 and Serif Photoplus X5 software to edit images, change colors and transparency, add shapes and text. This allowed them to create materials like a film poster and magazine cover for their project. They also screened video clips and exported images from the software to include in assignments. The author explored different sites to find copyright free music and sound effects suitable for their thriller genre trailer.
The media product uses, develops, and challenges some forms and conventions of real media products. It develops conventions through its use of close-ups, scary settings, low-key lighting, and color usage, which advance themes and genres similarly used in films like Side Effects and The Woman in Black. However, it also challenges conventions through its disjointed magazine cover comprising multiple images rather than a single one, mirroring the plot's themes of schizophrenia. While most elements develop real conventions, the intent is to thoughtfully challenge expectations.
Side Effects had lower domestic box office sales than The Sixth Sense because Bruce Willis is a well-known international actor from films like Pulp Fiction and Armageddon. People who saw him in the trailer for Side Effects may have been more likely to see the film assuming it would be good based on Willis' past roles in successful movies.
The document discusses photos taken of a model named Dom to represent schizophrenia for a film poster or magazine cover. Several photos were deemed inappropriate for different reasons, such as only showing part of the face, being out of focus, or including too much of the face. The selected photos for the magazine cover include one of Dom screaming to express the emotion of the character and another that will be halved and used on both sides of the screaming photo. Inspiration was drawn from online videos about schizophrenia and a play about using color effectively.

The selected photos include one where Dom is screaming to express the character's emotion and another split in half to use on both sides of the screaming photo. Inspiration was drawn from YouTube videos and a play about using color effectively.
The document discusses choosing to create a trailer about schizophrenia because it was a topic frequently in the news at that time. The author wanted to increase understanding of schizophrenia beyond just hearing voices, as reporters sometimes lacked knowledge and took an attacking approach to stories on mental illness. By focusing the trailer on schizophrenia, the author aimed to provide more information on the condition and reduce stigma.
The document describes changes made to a magazine cover based on feedback. Specifically:
- The number of colors used was reduced from 5 to 4 (black, white, yellow, red) to make the cover less busy.
- The banner color was changed to a darker gray and text was moved into the banner.
- A spelling error of "peek" was corrected.
- Font styles were standardized across text elements on the cover.
- Images in the banner were spaced more evenly.
- The original barcode was replaced with a more professional-looking one from the internet.
The document summarizes changes made to a film poster based on feedback. The key changes included standardizing the title font to "Colonial Light SF" for consistency, adding a black border around the trailer insert to better blend it into the poster, reducing the size of the credit block, changing the tagline font to "Verdict SF", adding a BBFC 15 rating, and centering the release date. These edits improved the visual cohesion and completeness of information on the film poster.
The filmmaker chose the title "Why?" because they feel it is thought provoking and will encourage people to watch the film. They selected this title as it highlights the theme of mental illness and provides insight into the plot for viewers. The title is short yet grabs attention and hints at the subject matter that will be explored.
The video analyzes the use of color, lighting, sound, and mise-en-scene in the movie trailer for Side Effects. It notes that the initial calm and natural colors establish a sense of well-being for the characters, while later greys and oranges imply a change in their situation. Sound starts peaceful but becomes tense, with diegetic dialogue revealing an emergency and cry for help. Shots of the protagonist and a prominent male character show the effects on them. The increasing sounds of urgency and a beeping noise build tension, intriguing viewers about the plot and characters.
The camera work, sound, and lighting in the trailer for The Strangers are used to build tension and establish it as a psychological thriller. A two-shot introduces the main characters and their relationship. Extreme close-ups draw attention to actions like locking the door that suggest themes of security and the unknown. Shots frame characters from behind to imply they are always being watched. Sudden diegetic sounds like a dropping tool create unease against the peaceful music. Screams and an axe attacking the door drive the tension higher as the story progresses to another level. Low key lighting sets the dark, scary mood for the nighttime scenes.
The document discusses the lighting, color, camera work, and editing choices made in the trailer for Mission Impossible 3. Low key lighting was used to make the film seem mysterious. The main colors used were red and yellow, with red representing seriousness and passion. Camera techniques like close-ups, over the shoulder shots, and crane shots were employed to focus viewers on characters and actions. Fast cuts and fades between scenes leave viewers wanting to see more. These elements aim to convey that the film is a serious spy thriller with secrets and danger.

2. First I deleted all the clips that were not needed.
I then imported the new clips
I added the clip I needed first and then trimmed it
3. I then added the following clip and trimmed it accordingly.
I then trimmed the next clip.
4. And I repeated the same with the final clip.
I then watched it through and noticed that the door section wasn’t rotated
correctly. I rotated it anti-clockwise.
5. I also trimmed the beginning of this clip as the pause whilst filming when the
character was walking was too obvious.
I then copied and pasted a clip re-used near the beginning of the doctors
filming. And trimmed it so that it was much shorter.
6. I also increased the play speed from 1.00 to 1.300.
I did the same with the section in which the doctor diagnoses the patient.
