Video making try no.1

-

I made a start on the introduction of the video, to try out the footage and audio together. I edited 2 pieces of footage from the original pieces.


1. Original vs New: Steps







I kept the Threshold at  0, but I changed the Value to (35)






Then, I changed the contrast, vibrance and saturation. I decided to turn the video to a grayish color so it would much the following footage.




2.











-Threshold (12)
- Value (77)
I decided to make the background brighter so the cloud would stand out and be more visible.

This was a first try to have an idea on the footage i will use, the video is only about 30 second long and the audio will be recorded again because there are background noises.

The tools were easy to use and work with. I edited the color of these 2 footage in order to maintain a similar style, in terms of color between the various footages. The second footage seemed to me slightly dull and not attractive, in this way I think it may better attract the audience.

Although this was not my first time to use iMovie, it was the first time I utilized it for an academic project and I think that this first try was helpful to get an idea of the outcome of the video. I am aware that iMovie is not as professional as other softwares, but it is easy to manage and I believe the editing process will run smoothly.

Next step will be to choose the background music.

    Good that you have included your technical process on your blog. You could add a little more detail on what you tried to achieve as an outcome for your first try and how you felt about the software. What is easy or difficult to use? Was it easy to find all the different tools?

Project Sign Off: Prada's Multiple Views

-
Image
Last Tuesday, scrolling down my Instagram feed, I see Prada posting on Instagram a series of videos titled as Multiple Views in chapters from 1-5. These short films were created to showcase the Spring/Summer 2021 collection in a technologic and surreal way, how Miuccia Prada sees the world today- her vision for the "post-pandemic fashion market" (Madsen, 2020). Chapter 4 - Prada Multiple View Spring/Summer 2021 Chapter 4 was a obvious response to the world of today. Models were placed in different seating rows inside the theater due to social distancing with screens, mobiles, and virtual realty everywhere. A music that is almost scary, resembling horror films and staring looks all suggest the effects of technology and the digital era. Martine Syms, the photographer of chapter 4 created this video with the intention of showing what it feels like to live in these lockdown/digital times “I’m inspired by the way screens have come to make and unmake us, and what it means

Sequential photography made by me (individually)

My initial ideas on this task were to create a set of sequential images that had a deeper meaning compared to the set we created as classwork. I came up with the idea to shoot a set of sequential images whilst giving money to a man in need. I decided to place the action of giving the money halfway through the images because I wanted to create a sort of narrative within the images. In this way, I was able to show the difference in the man's expression before having the money and after having the money. As you can see below, I drew a storyboard sketch to demonstrate my initial idea. Storyboard sketch: Process of Editing: I took the pictures with my phone and I changed the original color to a black&white filter using my camera settings.  Then, I edited the brightness of each photo to a higher level still using the camera settings on my phone.                                                                               I chose the pictures that
