Exercise 1 | Production Shoot Video

Fig 1.1 Equipment demonstration by Mr. Martin | Week 5 (23/5/24)

In week 5, we had a replacement class at the photography studio, where Mr. Martin showed different filming equipment to prepare us for the actual production shoot.

Fig 1.2 Assignment of roles | Week 5 (23/5/24)

Before going back, we were instructed to choose our roles for the production shoot, and I ended up being the assistant director and art director because many others hesitated to take on the role.

On the same day, Mr. Martin sent us a checklist outlining everyone's roles and expectations. It wasn't until I saw the list that I realized how difficult the roles I chose were (cries).

Fig 1.4 Shoot Schedule | Week 5 (23/5/24)

I followed Mr. Martin's instructions to create a shoot schedule, but I was unable to recce the campus because I was sick that week, so we ended up having to film all of the shots at the photography studio. 

Fig 1.5 Costumes & Props | Week 6 (28/5/24)

Before the shoot, the actors were instructed to find similar costumes and props for their respective roles: Waymond, Evelyn, and the security guard.

The filming took approximately around 4 hours as most of the time was spent on equipment placement like camera and lighting for each scene.

Fig 1.7 Adding Clips & Audio | Week 7 (5/6/24)

During the editing process, I began by adding and cutting clips as needed, as well as adding the actors' dialogue sounds. I also used a stabilizer effect in the first scene because the recording was a little shaky. I also sped up the video for the fighting scene to make it appear like a real and fast fight, as we told the actors during the recording process that slowing down the punches was fine.

Fig 1.9 Colour Grading & Colour Correction | Week 7 (5/6/24)

After this week's tutorial class, we learned how to colour grade and colour correct our video. I experimented with the 'basic correction' section until I found the right shade of colors that were close to what Mr. Martin had instructed us to use. 

Fig 1.10 Additional Sound Effects | Week 7 (5/6/24)

I created two video versions, one without any additional sound effects and one with both the original movie's sound effects and outsourced sound effects to make it more interesting.

Exercise 2 | Insta / Tiktok Video

Fig 2.1 Proposal | Week 7 (9/6/24)


Fig 2.2 Original Video (Without Effects and Colour Grading) | Week 9 (19/6/24)

I began by adding the music and cutting the clips to ensure that it met the 60-second requirement, leaving enough space for both the introduction and the ending.

Once I was satisfied with the arrangement of the clips, I started colour grading the video to give it a warm and cozy tone, evoking a sense of calmness when watched. I also added some light overlays as transitions for the video's introduction and ending, which I thought added a nice subtle touch.
