Cinematography class is done!!
Well, let me show you the edited video for our assignment 1.
Most of the green screen edited using After Effects.
We used Keylight method.
And did Voiceover.

Reflections:
I think we tried our best to do it well.
We did most of editing in Final Cut Pro.
Its a good experience for my group as we did the most the editing in Final Cut Pro.
We tried to do voice over in Final Cut Pro but it didnt turn out really well.

Thus we used other software to record the voice over.
We learnt to be more organise in our sequences.
How to name properly so that we won't be usually confused by passing around to each other to edit the films.

Well, this week im going to share...
How to colour correct in Final Cut Pro.
I think its quite useful when the scene of the whole shoot its a little redish or blueish.
We can colour correct it like just how we want it.
Of course we can also adjust it in After Effects

Im going to post some green screen tutorial.
As my cinematography, we have to use green screen.
The reason we use green screen is when we want the human or the object in the background that we wanted.

I will show some videos in After Effects.
There is two ways.
Keylight and Chroma.
I prefer keylight better.
I think Keylighting remove most of the green parts faster and better.

Sharing tutorials with you! =D

I think this is cool.
It would help me in my future projects.

However, I used most of my effects in After Effects.

This is the second set of photos that we shot after realising the first set of photos doesn't work.
We did a lot of editing to the pictures.
Like making the jacket invisible,
(Plastic Wrap effect on photoshop).












As it is all still photos, we got to enhance it by using transitions.
What is transitions?

http://as.dummies.com/WileyCDA/how-to/content/understanding-transition-types-in-final-cut-pro.html
Check out this website to have a better understanding of transitions and when do we use it.

I found another website, its meant for students.
A simplified of what is the different types of transitions.
http://www.mediacollege.com/video/editing/transition/types.html

Where to do transitions?
Effects > Video Transitions
There is two ways to it.


I think I love the effect Ripples the best.
Ripples are mostly used to ghostly type or dreamy mode.
We did used this effect to emphasized on the ghostly part. If you see the clip.
However, we couldnt really see most of the clip with the transition we want.

So I went to search on how to see unrendered stuffs.

This video tells us that we could use the unlimited RT.

Now I can view my transitions with the whole video.
I don't have to waste my time waiting for the clips to be rendered fully to test my transitions.
Thats my editing of the first assignment.
