BBC Correspondant - Simon Hall visit

13:36:00
To give our media class an insight of what it is like to work in the media itself as a correspondant, Simon Hall gave our class a visit to give a very valuable presentation talk.

During the lesson, Simon gave us some little tasks to complete which involved putting some vital news headlines in order of consumer importance. This task is a typical situation which the media have to tackle by putting the most important media headline up front.

From this lesson, I leant how highly demanding the media is  during this present decade and how media headlines change at any time depending on what happens all over the world.

Titles Workshop - Sion Roe

07:06:00
Last week , our media class was lucky enough to have a titles tutorial workshop on Adobe Premiere Pro by Sion Roe who is a Premiere pro proffessional. He showed us how to create a title sequence which moved and magnified inwards over the top of a clip of film.

  


The Steps tutorial I recorded: 
  • Drag and drop a video clip into your workspace on Premiere.
  • Create a Title - New - Default still.
  • Make the Title bold for effect.
  • Go to 'Keying' - Click 'Track Matt Key' - drag on Video-1.
  • Go to Video Effects.
  • Click 'Matte Key' - Change from 'None' to 'Video-2' (title.)
  • Go to Video Effects/Effects controls - Motion - Scale.
  • Click the clock - Move timeline scale.
  • Change scale from small to big to create a zoom like animation for your title. 
  • Position - Change to move centre.

Class lighting workshop

03:42:00
During our last media session in class , we took part in a little workshop which involved looking at 2 different types of effective lighting which included Caravaggio and an artist called Tim Walker who uses light lanterns to create different atmospheric moods. By taking part in this work shop , it has now given me a couple more thoughts and inspirations on how to make the lighting in my short film more effective.

Here are some examples of some photos I took of Tim walker ligting experiments consisting of artificial light in paper coloured lanterns:



These are the other photos I took of the Caravaggio experiments consisting of light areas and dark shadows:
