White Balance in Video

White Balance in Video

We used blue and orange gels to create a warm and cold effect. If we placed the blue gel in front of the Sony cameras then the camera would automatically adjust to the colour and turn up the temperature kelvin, this when we took the gel away would create a warm effect. 
It was the same for the orange gel which when taken away would give a cold effect.

A cold effect in movies tends to be associated with a sad, unhappy, dark emotion and can really help to emphasise what the character is feeling or portray a certain emotion before the character is on screen. 
A warm effect in movies tends to be associated with a happy good emotion. 
Although a colourist can change the temperature of the footage in post production, some producers like to change the temperature before in camera to achieve a certain look.

Task 3 evaluation

From your findings in task 1 and 2, on your blog write a minimum of 500 words and a maximum of 800 words. Write a word comparison/evaluation on how the social media platforms like twitter, instagram, facebook snapchat and youtube are used by audiences and institutions to access and deliver specific information. Use your own examples as well as examples from the film sites that you looked at in task 2. You need to discuss 2. Discuss how a film audience uses social media to access and deliver information about the film they are seeing/ discussing. Discuss how a film company uses social media to access and deliver information about the film they have produced. From Task 1 the information I got was that most people in fact 80% of all that I asked said they used You Tube the most to watch Film Trailers. This helps me a lot because it gives a clear indication as an idea of what platform to advertise the film we are creating the most. I asked people if they used Snapchat, Facebook, Ins...

Creating an Interview

Creating an Interview Make them fell comfortable, listen for a bit longer than you would actually listen normally so the audio is clean when asking the questions. Pick a good location with a good background  Make the interviewee look at the interviewer  Keep the eye contact  Nod at the interviewee to show interest  Keep the 180 degree rule to not confuse the audience The  180 °  rule  is a film guideline that says that two characters in a scene should keep the same left/right relationship to one another. If the camera passes over the line connecting the two subjects, its called crossing the line and it confuses the audience. Frame the subject in the rule of thirds  Leave a small gap at the top of the frame between the head and the edge of frame Use manual focus and a shallow depth of field Have something related to the subject the interviewee is talking about in the background if possible Keep the camera at the same...
