Colour Convention

Colour Convention

Fast Colour Corrector

First of all I added a 'Fast Colour Corrector' effect this is what helps make you make the video more warmer or colder, basically you can change it to the colour that you think is the best for it and what you like. This is the attempt that I done as you can see from the original video, the video looks abit more warmer and doesn't look as cold as the first one.

Saturation

For this one all I done was changed the saturation on the video to 25.00% which just basically changed it to black and grey, it was pretty basic on how to do it you just had to drag the saturation button to the left till the number 100.00 was onto 25.00 that how easy it was. This affect is obviously to make the camera shot look older or newer.

RGB Curves

For the RGB Curves as you can see its more harder I think to be honest as you need to move the four lines that you have, As you can see on mine the camera shot to the first one is more warmer and has abit more white in it than what the first camera shot has. To do this I changed the White, Red, Blue and Green lines to where I wanted them and the end result that I got was what you can see on the right.

Lumiere Brothers - The Lumiere Brothers (Anguste Marie Louis Nicolas Lumiere, Louis jean lumiere) the inverters of film, they were also French and basically made cinema. They are also the sons of Antoine Lumiere who was a well know Lyons based portrait painter. Louis was the one who discovered a processes what was the development of photography, he developed a new (dry plate) plate in 1881 when he was 17, it came known as 'Etiquette Bleue' this had actually helped his fathers business. A factory was the built soon after to manufacture the plates in the Monplaisir quarter of the Lyons Suburbs. By 1894 the Lumiere Brothers were creating around 15,000,000 plates a year! This made Antonie a successful and also a well known business man. He was then invited to a demonstration of Edison's Peephole Kinetoscope in Paris. By early 1895 the Lumiere Brothers had invented their own device combining a camera, printer and also a projector and they called it the Cinematographe. The Lumiere Brothers used a film speed of 16 frames per second! They had their first screening that happened on the 22nd of March 1895 at Rue de Rennes in Paris which was at an industrial meeting where a film was shown especially for the occasion. 

They then had excitement surrounding the new technology in preparation for their first actual public screening what happened on the 28th of December at the Grand Cafe on Paris Boulevard Capuhines. This is the listings that they had one to show that day:

• La Sortie de usines Lumière (1894)
• La Voltige (1895) 
• La Peche aux poissons rouges (1895) 
• La Débarquement du congres de photographie a Lyons (1895) 
• Les Forgerons (1895) 
• L’ Arroseur arrose (1895) Repas de bebe (1895) 
• Place des Cordeliers a Lyon (1895)
• La Mer (1895)

After this The Lumiere Brothers were then began to open theatres to show people their films which then actually became known as the cinema. In the first four months of 1896 they had opened cinemas (Cinematographic) in London, Brusseks, Belgium and New York. 

George Melies - George Melies was the one who created the Jump Cut, when The Lumiere Brothers unveiled their Cinematographe to the public on December the 28th 1895 Melies was in the audience watching. After the show he had then approached The Lumiere Brothers with a view to buying their machine but unfortunately they had turned him down. He was that determined to investigate moving pictures he sought out Robert Paul in London and viewed his camera, projector building his own, soon afterwards. He was then able to present his first film screening on the 4th of April 1896. He then started by screening other peoples films - mainly those that were made for the Kinetoscope but within months he was making and showing his own work, his first films being one reel, one shot views lasting about one minute. Melies job to the cinema was the combination of traditional theatrical elements to motion pictures. He sought to present spectacles of a kind not even possible in live theatre.

In the autumn of 1896 something happened which has since passed into film folklore and changed the way that George looked at filming. While he was filming a simple street scene Melies' camera jammed and it took him a couple of seconds to rectify the problem. Thinking no more about what had happened, he carried on the film and was struck by the effect such a incident had on that scene. Then objects suddenly appeared, disappeared or were transformed into other objects. Melies the discovered from his incident that cinema had the capacity for manipulating and distorting time and space. He then expanded upon his initial ideas and devised some complex special effects. These are the things that he had pioneered

• The first double exposure (La Caverne Maudite 1898)
• The first split screen with performers acting opposite themselves (Un Homme De Tete 1898)
• The first dissolve (Cendrillon 1899). 

He tackled a wide range of different subjects as well as the fantasy films usually associated with him also including advertising films and serious dramas. He was also the first one ro present nudity on screen with (Apres le Bal). Faced with a shrinking market once the novelty of his films began to wear off, he abandoned film production in 1912. He was then forced to turn his innovative studio onto a Variety theatre and resumed his pre-film career as a showman in 1915. In 1923 he was declared bankrupt and his beloved Theatre Robert Hpudin was demolished. George nearly disappeared into obscurity until the late 1920's when his substantial contribution to cinema was recognised by the French and he was presented with the Legion of Honour and given a rent free apartment where he spent the rest of his life. He then dies in 1938 with making over five hundred films in total, financing, directing, photographing and staring in nearly everyone one.

Edwin Porter - Edwin Porter joined the Vitascope Marketing Company in 1895 where his experience with electrical engineering was called into use. While his time being there he was in the organisation of the first projected movie show in New York on the 23rd of April 1896. He then continued his engineering skills in the laboratory at Edison's Manufacturing Company but left to become a freelance projectionists at the Eden Musee Theatre in 1898. One of his many duties included the illegal duplication of George Melies films, he would look for one act to take apart and combine several of these into a fifteen minute programme. He then attempted to make his own camera and his own projector but because his effort wasn't good enough he then returned to Edison's Company in 1900, not as an engineering capacity but as a producer and also director at Edison's East 21st Street Skylight studio. He was a fan of George Melies so he tried to emulate the trick photography which Melies had introduced to the world and had proved incredibly successful in films such as:

• The Finish of Bridget McKeen (1901)
• Jack and the Beanstalk (1902)

Edwin was also one of the first directors to shoot at night in him "Pan-American Explosion by Night". He carried on with what he was doing he made a lot more movies but then after 6 years later in 1915 he then returned to his first enthusiasm (Protectors) and remained involved with projection for the rest of his working life.

D.W Griffiths - D.W Griffiths was the one who was first to do Continuity Editing, in 1897 he set out to persure a career for acting and also writing for the theatre but for the most part he was unsuccessful. So he agreed to then act in the new motion picture medium for Edwin S. Porter at the Edison's Company. Griffith was then offered a job at the financially struggling American Mutoscope & Biography Co., where he directed over four hundred and fifty short films, experimenting with the story telling techniques he would later perfect in his epic (The Birth of a Nation, 1915).

Griffith and his personal cinematographer G.W. Bitzwe decided to create and perfect such as cinematic devices such as a (Flash-Back), The Iris Shot, The Mask and Cross-Cutting. In the years following (Birth) he then never seen the same monumental success as his signature film and in 1931 his increasing failures forced his retirement. He was then similarly criticised for his blatant racism and then died in Los Angeles in 1948, one of the most dichotomous figures in film history. 

Montage Editing

Montage - Montage is French for 'Assembling' or 'editing' clips. Montages include images or clips that are put together to tell a story. There is a different with Continuos Editing and Soviet Montage, continuos editing is basically the movie based in the same location and same time. The principle contribution of 'Soviet' film theorists to global cinema was Montage Theory. Soviet Montage is also the approach to understanding and creating cinema that relies heavily upon editing.

Today I found out how to edit my clips a lot faster than what I already knew, I am going to list the different symbols that we used and what they exactly mean when we ingested it prelude adobe:

J - This is to rewind it.
K - This is to stop the clip.
l - This is to fast forward the clip.
Space - This is to stop and start the clip.
I - This is the Inpoint
O - This is the Outpoint
. - This is what sends the clip to the timeline
, - This is where it inserts the clip between a shot.

Different Camera Shots

Wide Shot/Tilt Shot Left - This is one that you can see everything in the shot as you can see on this one which is why it is called a wide shot, it is also a tilt shot as the camera tilts to the left. 

Long Shot - This is a long shot because the main thing that is getting recorded is the motor bike and that is in the distance so that makes it a long shot. You can also see what else is happening in the scene.

Close Up Shot - This is close up because you can see mostly his face and thats all

Homework

Today I learnt how to export data onto the computer properly! We had to put it in the D-drive and make our own folder, then we had to import in onto prelude. We made a new project, we then ingested it by transferring  our data to a destination that we wanted in it. We then clicked the desktop folder we wanted to use to save our work, once we done that we ingested it. Once you have done that you can then go and add comments and subclips to it so that you know which parts of the whole clip you are going to use! After I had finished I then sent it to premier pro so that we could then edit it to how we like it as we were in partners.


I have been watching some tutorials about how to use prelude adobe https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fCP9ZMBPdywfCP9ZMBPdyw it actually helped me know more about how you actually use prelude adobe and gets me ready for the future so that i find it easier to use and so that I can finish my editing much quicker than someone would not using how to use it.

I watched YouTube videos that helped me understand how to put in video affects into the piece that I would like to edit. For example we used a Black and White effect on the part that we edited  because we thought it looked better for our clip and that it would make it look a lot more interesting to watch. It is better to always have something different so that is why we wanted to change the coulor to black and grey because its different and it looked good. 

For the 4 different steps on how you would have to do to make a movie this is them, I learned this in class and because I also learn about this...

Development - Development is basically the first bit of everything for a movie or even a TV series, if you didn't do this then it would be harder than you think to actually produce something good and that you could show everyone. In development it's where you get ideas together of what you could actually do for example what the story line is going to be based about in the movie/TV series, the script is also thought about and the screen play is also written. 

Pre - Production - Pre - Production is just where you get everyone together the director starts to think of what positions he wants everyone in, how he wants them to act and who they actually want in the movie, the script is then written and shown to the director and the producer basically deals with the money! The locations and everything that you need for the production would get booked for the recording. This is where you start to plan scenes and what's going to happen etc, mostly say that the pre production is important as if you messed up in the production it wouldn't work well and also it would take a lot longer to produce. 

 

Production - Production is then when the movie/TV series is then preformed and recorded, this is where everyone gets together and gets everything finished for the last bit of the 4 steps to making a product.

Post -Production - Post - Production - This is where the editor would be involved and would start to put in the credits, what needs to be took out of the whole filming and also the effects!
