WEEK 25 - Editing

Editing in media is like magic! It takes your raw footage and turns it into a polished final product. You pick the best parts, arrange them in order, and add special touches like music or sound effects to bring your story to life.

This week we focused on editing of the video and sound

All the transitions and the credits including the title were added in the editing process.

WEEK 26 - Rough Draft

Here is the rough draft made for the 2 min opening scene after which I added a few more scenes

WEEK 23 - Shoot Day 1

The above picture showcases how we're setting up the blood scene in the bathroom.

WEEK 22 - Location Reccee

WEEK 21 - Actors PPT

After finalising our script, storyline,and screenplay we started to work on our actors ppt, which is basically what we have to send to the actors before the shoot so they know their roles and requirements. The ppt consists of the character, the characters background, his behaviour arc, the kind of clothes he wears the accessories he has and the proposed cast. This helps the actors learn more about their characters and get in character better.

WEEK 19 - Screenwriting for the opening scene

For this week we worked on the screenplay for our film

WEEK 18 - Story Board

Storyboards are sequential art like comic books which show the linear progression of a film's action as described in the script.

STORYBOARD:

Storyboards have truly changed the way I navigate my media studies journey. Drawing inspiration from filmmaking, they break down complex ideas, making them easier to grasp. As an art student, storyboards engage me, empowering me to understand and share media knowledge more effectively.

WEEK 28 - FINAL VIDEO LINK

WEEK 15 - Scriptwriting

Scriptwriting for media:

Format: Learn the basic script layout (scene headings, action lines, dialogue). Free online resources can help.

Story: Start with a cool idea and strong characters. Plot it out simply (beginning, middle, end).

Types: Films (short/long), TV shows (pilots), commercials, documentaries (use scripts for narration).

Tips: Read existing scripts, write short ones to practice, get feedback, and explore genres.

WEEK 14 - Screen Play

SCREENPLAY:

To me, screenplays are more than just blueprints; they showcase the art of storytelling, dialogue delivery, action, and symbolism. They offer insights into visual language, societal contexts, and cultural commentary, letting us celebrate creativity and the timeless connection fostered through storytelling.

There are 2 types of screenplays that we were taught :

Actor's screenplay and Director's screenplay

Director's screenplay: The director's screenplay is about what the shoot will be. What will happen and how everything will work on the set. this screenplay is in detail and has lots of technical terms

Actor's screenplay: The actor's screenplay has everything that an actor is required to do in the shot

WEEK 13 - Story Writing

Story writing refers to the method of writing in which the writer narrates a series of events that have led to a problem, the progression of the same and the end result that has led to the current situation of the characters in the story.

WEEK 12 - Clip Analysis

Here's a breakdown of what we typically analyze in a clip:

Visual elements:

Framing (Camera shots): How the shot is composed (close-up, wide shot, etc.) and what it reveals about the subject or scene.

Camera angles: How the camera is positioned concerning the subject (low angle, high angle, etc.) and the effect it has on the viewer's perception.

Camera movements: How camera moves can show more of a scene, follow action, or build suspense.(pan, tilt, tracking, etc.)

Mise-en-scene: The arrangement of everything within the frame, including props, set design, costumes, and actors.

Audio elements:

Dialogue: What the characters are saying and how it conveys information, personality, and relationships.

Sound effects: Sounds added in post-production to create a sense of realism or atmosphere.

Music: The soundtrack and how it creates mood, tension, or foreshadows events.

Editing techniques:

Cuts: How shots are transitioned from one to another.

Pace: The speed at which the clip unfolds.

WEEK 11 - Editing(Learning how to use Adobe Premier Pro)

We were taught how to use the software Adobe Premier Pro over a few classes, where we learnt editing. Video editing software is like a toolbox for working with videos. It lets you cut, trim, and rearrange clips to improve the flow of your video. You can also use it to add effects and adjust colours to make your video look its best.: here are a few screenshots of our classes

how to import clips

how to add them in our timeline, split and crop them

how to add audio/music and sync it with the video

And how to colour correct

WEEK 10 - Sound

Sound enhances the audience's emotional experience. Helps you to identify the character's type, the unspoken thought of the character. It creates meaning by setting the location, and the period, building a sense of continuity.

I wasn’t present when sounds were introduced in class, but I read the notes and on the internet about it. Diegetic sounds are sounds that are taken from a video or a clip they can come from an on-screen or off-screen subject but it’s in sync with what action is happening on the stage. example water falling an actor saying his dialogues or playing an instrument. Non-diegetic are the ones that are separated sounds and don’t originally exist in any clip. They are sounds the audience can hear but characters can’t, such as narration.

WEEK 9 - mise en scene

The mise-en-scene is basically how the set is designed and how the characters are arranged for a theatre or film production, both in visual arts through storyboarding, visual theme and cinematography, and in narrative storytelling through direction

Every visual element you see in a film shot is part of mise en scène, which literally means "placing on stage" in French. It's like a silent language the director uses to tell the story. Imagine a scene: a cluttered desk overflowing with papers might hint at a messy character, while warm lighting in a cosy living room creates a sense of comfort. From the grand costumes in a period piece to the stark, shadowed room in a thriller, every detail - the sets, props, actors' clothing, lighting, and even camera angles - work together to create a specific mood and tell you something about the story and characters, even before a word is spoken. By understanding mise en scène, you can become a more active film watcher, picking up on the clues the director has hidden in plain sight.
