Music for short film

From the short film I edited a short intro and Scene 1.  In this scene we see archaeologist Alex Nelson, heir of Horatio Nelson and his closest partner Jack finding an 1800’s British Box hidden from Horatio himself.

These kind of songs are quite adequate for adventure movies. In my group's case, this song would fit perfectly.

Advance in Technology

With the advance in technology, today we can capture great pictures and record full HD videos with our phone. This video impressed lots of audiences. The Quality that the video was recorded is brilliant and I could have never imagined  that is was filmed with a phone.

Movie mistakes

Even though The Matrix is quite a popular movie. Mistakes can be found.

Example :

Whenever Trinity confronts the agent on the rooftop and says, "Dodge this", she points her gun to temple of the agent while his head is turned to her. He glances back, but never fully turns his head. The next scene show him being shot facing Trinity...with a shot in middle of his forehead. Some people think it's to do with the angle he enters the soldier's body to start with, but the angle change is clearly visible before he changes back into the original body.

Camera Techniques - Photo Story

In today's Camera Techniques lesson, we were thought that a story can be even shown as a number of pictures after the other. My friends and I decided to make an 10 photo story showing a guy getting hurt and when his friend finds him injured he calls the ambulance for help.

Camera Techniques - Shot Sizes

This is one of the homework given from our Camera Techniques teacher. We had to analyze a film and take screen shots of different shot sizes. The movie that I used is Ninja Assassin and some of the shot sizes that I noticed are 'Bird’s Eye View, Wide Shot, Medium Long Shot and the Long shot'.
