Lab 14: Different types of camera shots & editing techniques

In week 14, I have learnt the different types of camera shots and editing techniques. With these shots and techniques, I am able to further improve on editing photos and taking good photos.

Project 2: Pumped-Up Kids

For Project 2, we have to film a video and add in effects in it. I do not have the hard copy of the proposal as it was handwritten and passed up, therefore what I post here is what I can recall when my team was doing this together.

Title: Pumped-Up Kids
Synopsis: 
Four ordinary people are chosen to be superheros. One day, they all enter a portal and was led to an unknown place. They began to train their own powers, Wind, Water, Earth and Fire. One day, while Jo(Fire) was jogging in the park, he entered an evil portal unknowingly. After that, Fire became very evil and the other superheros, Wind, Water and Earth, knew that he was possessed by an evil spirit and decided to kill the evil spirit within him.

Treatment: Four ordinary people are chosen to be superheros. They all entered a portal and was led to an unknown place. They touched a nuclear ball and they have super powers. Nicole(Me-Wind), Ayuni(Earth), Eunice(Water) and Hemandra(Fire) began their training. One day, Fire entered a portal unknowingly while jogging in the park. That portal is an evil portal which an evil spirit will control you. Fire became evil because of the evil spirit inside him. The other superheros, Wind, Water and Earth, knew that he was possessed by an evil spirit and decided to kill the evil spirit within him. After Wind, Water and Earth combined their powers together, they defeated the evil spirit within Fire.

Scene Breakdown:
A - Four ordinary people are chosen to be superheros. They all entered a portal and was led to an unknown place. They touched a nuclear ball and they have super powers.
B - The four superheros began their training to enhance their super powers.
C - Fire entered a portal and after that, he was possessed by an evil spirit.
D - The other superheros, Wind, Water and Earth, combined their powers together and they defeated the evil spirit within Fire.

Production Schedule:
This is the production schedule that we have planned earlier before the filming of our video:





Reflection
Overall, I think the video was filmed quite well, but for my part of adding effects in it, I think I did not do quite well as what I expected because I could not follow the tutorials that I have searched beforehand. As a result, I could only add n basic effects like Glow, Fast Blur, CC Particle World and so on.

Lab 12A - Earthquake



This is the After Effects video exercise for Lab 12A. It is not difficult to follow and this video tutorial takes only 9min and 29secs so it is not that time consuming to do it.
