LECTURES
Mr Martin brief us about our project of this module. We are required to
download Premier Pro for future editing tools, we started our first
exercise which is an intro to premier and edit accordingly to each single
video that are given to us.
During week 2 class, we learned about framing with different size shots.
Mr Martin also provided us some video example and determine what shot
is it.
- Motion picture/Film/Video is made up of many shots.
- Each shot requires placing the camera in the best position for that particular moment in the narrative.
- Shot is continuous view shot by one camera without interruption.
- Sequence is a series of scenes, or shots, complete in itself.
- Scene defines the place or setting where the action is laid.
- A scene may consist of series of shots or sequences depicting a continuous event.
During class activity, our task was to shoot 8 different size shots with
one partner during this shooting exercise, we go bellevue and Block E
balcony to finish our shooting.
- Low angle wide shot
- Frontal medium close-up
- Frontal medium shot
- Extreme close-up shot
- Side angle (profile) medium shot
- ¾ angling medium close-up shot
- Close-up shot
- Eye-level medium wide shot

- Recap : The set of all the events in cause-effect relationship occuring in time and space, both the ones explicitly presented and those the viewer infers, constitutes the story.
- Beginning: Setup / introduction of a story
- Middle: Confrontation of a problem

Fig 1.2 3 Act Structure (15.09.2023-Week 3)
Act 1
BEGINNING/SETUP:
- To introduce the world.
- To introduce the main characters.
- To establish the dramatic situation.
- Leads to an incident that complicates the story (PLOT POINT 1).
Act 2
MIDDLE/CONFRONTATION:- Known as ‘Rising Action’.

- Tying the loose ends
In French, it literally means: mise (putting) en (on) scène (stage) .It refers to what we see onscreen; its visuals; meaning, all of the elements that appear on camera and their arrangement.
- Composition: Composition is the deliberate selection of frames and camera angles that make up a shot. Manipulating composition can accentuate the emotional themes of the story and communicate a sense (or lack) of meaning to the audience.
- Set Design: refers to everything the audience sees within a particular scene. These details help build out the world of the location and add even more context to the story.
- Lighting: Lighting is often the tool that conveys mood most clearly. High-key lighting, often used in musicals and romantic comedies, relies on hard light to minimise shadows. Low-key lighting, often used in horror movies.
- Costume and Props: Costume is one of the most useful tools in communicating a character’s thoughts and journey.
- Depth of Space: Depth is determined by the distances between objects, people, and scenery, influenced by their placement along with camera location and lens choice.

REFLECTION
Experience:
I thought it was a very difficult task when I heard the briefing about audio dubbing in the first week, but after the reminder and from Mr Martin I am more confident of doing it well and able to complete it before the deadline. At the progression stage, I don't understand why we should create a spreadsheet and paste all the link inside it, I feel like this action will be wasting our time and a bit troublesome. After I finish filling in all the sound effect that are needed lead me more clearly of the sequence to import in Premium pro., allow me to easier find what sound effect I have missed.
Findings:
The task make me be more familiar with the sound setting in Premium Pro such as pitch shifter, volume, speed, fade in and fade out. I also gain the knowledge of each track should have own position, and own one character only to avoid mess up.
