Week 1: 

Week 1 Lecture Slides

On the first week, Mr.Martin gave a briefing of the from the MIB regarding the areas that will be covered on this module. We were briefed on what we have to do for our projects and also the extra material that we will need to do the projects.

Week 2: Framing and Storyboard

Week 2 Lecture slides: Framing and Storyboard

This week's lecture was about video composition, framing and storyboard. Mr.Martin showed us a brief history of how cinema evolved around the camera and how the styles of framing and composition changed over time. Different focal lengths, shots, camera movement and screen direction used in cinematography was taught in the lecture using samples from movies and advertisements.


EXERCISES

Week 1: EXERCISE 1 - MINTS: Our first exercise was to arrange separate linear segments of a video and compile them on Adobe Premier. We did this exercise during class. It was fairly basic and easy and it took me very little time to finish it.

Week 1: EXERCISE 2 - DORITOS: The second exercise was also to arrange segments of a video and compile them but this time the clips were not in order. The clips were trimmed in various durations so the whole process seemed like a puzzle. It took me a while to find the proper order by watching the clips on the timeline and trying to grab the story. But after a while re-arranging the timeline I was able to connect the clips together.

Week 2: EXERCISE 1 - Framing: This exercise was about demonstrating what we have learned in camera framing by recording ourselves in different framing angles. We were given 8 different frames,
  • Low angle Wide shot
  • Frontal Medium close-up shot
  • Frontal Medium shot
  • Extreme close up
  • Side angle Medium shot
  • 3/4 Angling medium close up
  • Close up shot
  • Eye-level medium wide shot
I used my phone and a tripod since I don't have a camera at the moment. I tried different shots and it was very awkward since I was recording myself but I completed the shots and imported them to Premiere pro and did the final editing before publishing.

EXERCISE 2 - Trimming: The second exercise for this week was about trimming raw videos that were shot for an advertisement. The videos included the crew and cues that had to be trimmed and the final videos arranged in order. Here is my process and final outcome:

Exercise 3: Music video shoot practice

For this exercise, I was instructed to shoot clips for a music video, blend the clips using color corrections and editing and blend the footage with a music with right compositions.

REFLECTION

Week 1: After a long break, this week's class started with a recap exercise to the works we have done in the previous semester. So it was a good start for the upcoming classes and assignments.

Week 2: This week was focused on more serious work related to videography. Shooting video footage from phone, exporting them into Premier and doing cuts and editing was a learning experience. I learned the basics and some cool tricks while attempting this week's exercises.

FEEDBACK

Week 3: Feedback for shooting exercise - Good composition and design sense. Some framings were off (Frontal, close-up...)

Week 4: Mr.Martin said the views were stunning and the composition was great
