Shooting (Day 6)

Today shooting took place in the media lab of my school. I filmed the performance clips of Sheece. A green screen was set and illuminated using two YN300 LED flashlights mounted on tripods (that were set at 45 degrees from the center.) The distance of the tripods aways from the green screen was adjusted to remove shadows of Sheece on the green screen. Another flashlight (mounted on a camera) was shone on the actors to brighten them up in the shot. 

I borrowed a microphone, microphone stand, and an electric guitar from the music room. I directed Sheece to lip sing to the song that was played on the speakers. First I told him to perform on the song as it is. The second time I made him lip sing to the same song that I had slowed down to 50%. This would allow me to speed the clip to 200%, causing his movements to become fidgety and his lip movement to be in-sync with the lyrics of the song in its original pace. This technique is opposite to the one I carried out in my practice video. (https://youtu.be/gLMcL-O3KKc).

Red talks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ICYXheEBoM&feature=youtu.be   With only a few pictures, recordings and some information available, I narrated and edited a video in a few hours for a friend for her project. This was a new experience for me in which I had to manage everything under pressure within a certain time frame. This equipped me with time management and organizational skills (since I had to organize the available content in a chronological order to make it clear and understandable). 

Research on Genres

I want to create a music video following the comedy and romance genre. To create such a text, I looked into the romance and comedy genre conventions that I could follow. These are some of the important points I noted down.  ROMANCE: COMEDY: I came across a table that showed the types of comedy. To my surprise, visual comedy (through editing) was not included.

Dignity Day Video

Today we celebrated dignity day in our school and being the head of filmmaking society I made a video about it. The video started off with a fun fast-paced soundtrack to create suspense and interest. I added text with a simple question, in the start, to encourage engagement with the audience; which is ironic since this video can be considered a part of hot media (which demands little interaction from the viewer/user).  Two interviews were added to give the video a documentary feel.  A smooth audio transition from the diegetic and non-diegetic sounds of the interviewee and background score respectively to an 'Urdu poetry' was made. The poetry was accompanied by slow-motion shots of students and lower staff members to give a dramatic effect.   https://youtu.be/kzJ9UjASq3c
