this is LukeBurton'soneshot video, today i was sat next to him as he was editing it and we ended up working together to produce the audio. we filtered out all the high frequencies and reduced the volume of the Franky goes to Hollywood track using adobe soundbooth to make the music sound like it is coming from another room. however in places for few second blocks we brought back the high frequencies and increased the volume to create the illusion that the toilet door is opening and closing.
things i like about this video my video doesnt have.
i like the way luke intended his video to be funny and it turned out to be funny whereas i intended my video to be scary and it isn't. i like the way luke didn't rely on technology during the shooting process, its simple but effective.
things i like about my video lukes video doesnt have.
i like the original idea of my video, i think my idea of sinister images on screens has alot more room for development. i like the face my video has an unusual twist at the end.
I read an article online that said if you point a camera at its own monitor you can create visual feedback and that this technique was used in early film making.
This is my final oneshot short, my group liked my earl eroneshot video and ran with the idea of using monitors and web cams. the easyest part of shooting this video was shooting the pre recorded clips to go on the monitors. the hardest part was synchronisingourselves with the clip on the monitors, as you probably can tell. in many ways i prefer the oneshot i made to present to the group, less effort went into the shot but i think it has a better overall effect. this is probably due to the fact there is some form of lighting in the first one.
overall i thought that it was a good project, i enjoyed doing a project with a group as i usually do projects by myself or with a friend. what i found most interesting was how every group member fell into a natural roll and how my natural roll wasn't what it normally is. i was in shot, usually I'm a tecky. i learnt how to do a few extra things on premier which I'm happy about and made a few future project buddies, so overall a pretty good project despite the fact i could be happier with the final video.
today me and my group filmed the footage for our oneshot short, we filmed it in the Waverly building as we needed an inside location and two large computer monitors, we didn't manage to use any interesting lighting in the shot because the power outlets where computer only outlets. if you look at my previous posts the onshot i made myself in my basement you will see a desk lamp, i intended to use this in the final video but couldn't due to the outlet problem. i wanted the lamp to flicker on and off towards the end of the shot as i there was a power surge, but if i did plug the lamp in there would have been a real power surge. here are a few photo of the shooting process.
Figuring light, and the intangible exhibition at Djanogoly art gallery lakeside.
I found this piece very interesting and eye catching, the artist Rebecca partridge has used I wide collection of both contrasting and complimentary colors. Even more interesting is the use of plain white for the background and the way in which the concentration of colour reduces as the geometrical shapes near the edges of the piece, as if creating movement.
When this piece first caught my eye the different colors on each side of all the geometrical shapes appeared random. But as I looked more and more I noticed that the majority of the shapes were either themed with warm colours or cold colours, but then just to ruin my theory I noticed there were a few shapes consisting of both warm and cold colours. That’s what I like about this piece, it confuses me.
Light has been taken into account with this piece in a very interesting way, some of the geometrical shapes are a solid colour but the ones with a lower concentration of colour appear translucent against the white background. More interesting than that is the larger geometrical shapes near the edges. they have the least concentration of colour, what I found interesting was how these shapes don’t appear translucent but appear in the distance, giving the picture great depth
i realised that it is difficult to make an interesting video when you only have one shot to play with, so i had the idea of having a monitor in the shot, that way a pre recorded video could be made and edited and cut as many times as necessarybefore hand. this is a short video i made myself to present the idea to my group. after showing my group this video they liked the idea and decided to run with it. in the final video we are hopeing to have 2 computer monitors with 2 people sat in front of them. however we are going to experiment with people moveing from monitor to monitor. me and sam are going to be the people in shot and martin and steve are going to direct and operate the camera. i used a desk lamp to light my mini set in the video below, im thinking of using this same lamp in the final video but maybe attaching a dimmer switch for better control.
The rule of thirds is a compositional tool used in design and any other visual art. The rule states that an image can be divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines. The points on the picture where the lines cross can be used to place the main features of the picture, or photograph. Using this visual tool gives a more interesting and professional looking picture than it would if you were to just centre the main feature.
The rule has been around for centuries and has been taken into account in the creation of oil paintings through to digital photography. As an amateur photographer myself I was surprised how much better photographs you can take when considering this rule.
this is my final pixalation project video, some of the footage was shot in my student house and the rest was shot with my project group. what i found interesting about the group footage was its all the same photos but the ways in which the different group members edited the pictures in different ways gave a completely different feel and mood to the video. the pool playing part of the video was shot in the basement of my student house, this was probably the most time consuming part of the video to create, if you look at my previous posts there are a few behind the scenes pictures of the making of that. if i had more time to do this project i would have recorded some audio samples of pool balls hitting each other ind added them to the audio track to create a more realistic audio for that part of the video.
