Skill development

For this work I will be having to film a film trailer , however I don't have much personal experience with camera work. Because of this I have looked deeply into cinematography and editing and did some practice filming to develop my skill.

I made a short clip, in the short clip we a girl in a room and then a man enters they have a brief conversation. I have done this so that I can practice using and setting up a camera and get used to editing software I will do this for premier pro and after effects.

I Had my friend Maria and James be in it but James also helped me with the camera work and giving me advice on what to do , for the clip I used a camera and a tripod to try and get my shots.

The small clip has some of the techniques I'm trying to learn and execute properly. Like shot reverse shots , eye line matches , panning and close up. I practiced trying to film these all though they are not in the clip. I also focused on keeping continuity and using the 180 degree rule

Bellow is the clip I made together. I made a simple name using the title part and used basic transactions between clips. I snipped them to gain what I wanted to and didn't change the sound. I researched how to make clips longer from the first opening shot of a clock so we see it for a longer period of time . This was less of practice using the software as it was more my camera skill which I will work on over the upcoming weeks to get better at.

Skill development 3

For skill development 3 i have decided to try and make something using after effects,  after watching some videos. Through this i have learn about composition and other information. And although not all the videos i have watched.

Here I made a brief production company opening , It isn't very advanced however I made it by my self to prepare for the beginning of the trailer.

Note: the video is 30 seconds long however the animation stops around 6 seconds

skill developement 2

For skills development 2 i have decided to watch some tutorials on after effects to learn the basics and try and make something to get used to the tools available.
To start i will be looking at the basics first as i haven't used it before. After that i may look at some more advanced videos on typography , motion graphics and more. This will help me for when i make part of the trailer






To practice my skill i will try and learn how to different effects.

I will do this by watching some YouTube videos plus getting some tips and basics.
