Week 7
Fig7.1 Color Corrention PPT
Colour Correction:
Adjusts individual clips to match color temperature and maintain a
consistent technical standard. Ensures whites appear white, blacks appear
black, and all colors are balanced. Use the Lumetri scope tools: RGB Parade,
Waveform, Vectorscope. Set luminosity values for each shot. Focus on
highlights, midtones, and shadows. Adjust basic corrections: exposure,
highlights, shadows. Compare before and after using Display Mode. Use RGB
model for color adjustments. Begin color correction with the eyedropper
tool. Balance colors with temperature and tint adjustments. Reference the
first corrected clip for subsequent clips.
Colour Grading:
Enhances the corrected image for aesthetic and communicative purposes.
Increase contrast and saturation, apply a new color tint. Use an adjustment
layer and S curve for contrast. Adjust temperature, tint, and saturation for
new looks (e.g., bluish, greenish, brownish). Apply complementary colors
like teal and orange for contrast. Use color wheels to assign specific
colors to shadows, highlights, and midtones. Combine various color grading
techniques for desired effects (e.g., desaturation, high contrast).
Week 9
Fig9.1 Audio Editing
Frequency Range:
- Human hearing ranges from 20Hz to 20,000Hz.
- The frequency range is divided into 7 subsets to help define different ranges.
Dynamic Range:
- Measured in Decibels (dB).
- Human hearing threshold is 0dB SPL (sound pressure level) and pain threshold is 130dB SPL.
Mono vs. Stereo:
- Mono sound uses a single audio channel.
- Stereo sound uses two audio channels.
Setting Up Audition:
- Use Audio 2_40 for practice.
- Create and save a multitrack session.
- Apply effects using the Effect Rack, such as the Parametric Equalizer.
Sound Effects:
- Phone Call Sound Effects: Lower bass and treble, raise midrange between 500Hz to 2kHz.
- Muffled Sound Effects: Bass remains, treble is lowered, and midrange is raised to the top.
- Reverb Sound Effects: Adjust decay time, pre-delay time, perception, dry, and wet settings to create spatial sound effects.
Sound Shaping Exercise:
- Record a 5-second voice clip and apply different sound effects: phone call, inside a closet, bathroom, underground cave, alien/orc voice.

Next, we studied basic correction, which includes exposure, highlights, and shadows. We also learned to use the comparison view in display mode to observe before-and-after changes. After that, we learned how to use the eyedropper tool to adjust temperature and tint. Finally, we used the color wheel for advanced color correction, such as adjusting the colors to achieve a teal and orange look.

In addition, this color correction must be applied to the video shooting and editing for Task 2a, creating a trailer under one minute. The footage needs to be color-corrected using the six mentioned styles: teal & orange, bluish, greenish, brownish, desaturation, and black & white high contrast.

| Fig5.1 Crew list, Week 5 (24.5.2024) |
This week, Mr. Martin asked us to film scenes from "Everything Everywhere All at Once" in groups and assign specific roles within each group. I chose the role of the male actor.

| Fig5.2 Storyboard, Week 5 (24.5.2024) |
These are the scenes to be filmed, along with the storyboard and lines. They will be shot in the photo studio during Week 6.
Week 6:

In this part, I first extracted the desired clips to piece together and convey the story, controlling the duration to match the music's beat points.

To enhance the trailer's feel, I edited it into short, concise segments and added text. Given the horror theme, I included red strokes around the text. Additionally, for scenes with dialogue, I added subtitles to ensure viewers could understand the conversations clearly.

To meet Martin's requirements of incorporating six different color corrections into the trailer, I color-graded individual clips accordingly.
Task 2b: Tiktok Video Shooting
Mr. Martin asked us to incorporate our ideas from Task 2, find a film theme that interests us, and creatively integrate our concepts into the film to convey what we want to express.
Week 7 and Week 8:
After discussing my TikTok video concept and storyboard with Mr. Martin, I've decided to change the original content from a solo transition video to a dual-person video.

Additionally, for a bus transition shot that required zooming in, which reduced video quality, I used a quality enhancement tool to ensure clarity.

I added music to ensure the video wasn't monotonous. Additionally, I included subtitles and voiceovers to enrich the overall experience and enhance the storytelling aspect. For the music, I used "A Thousand Miles" and "清明上河图"

To make the visuals more natural and smooth, I added entrance and exit animations. I also adjusted the colors slightly to ensure the overall look is harmonious and pleasing.
Feedback
Week 7:
Mr. Martin suggested incorporating a sense of missed
connections, like those moments where someone turns their head, feeling
like they saw someone, but in reality, they didn't.
Week 9:
I showed Martin the filmed clips and explained some of the
arrangements. He asked me to send him the edited video once it's ready and
reminded me to include the color correction.
Reflections
This is a very interesting task. Although I initially wanted to shoot a horror film, the length and the need for multiple characters made it unachievable. Additionally, the short timeline didn't provide enough time for shooting and planning, and transportation was inconvenient. Therefore, I had to continuously change the content. Eventually, I shifted from a horror film to a creative transition video. Since the goal was to showcase creativity, I thought a transition video could combine various techniques and scenes to create a unique result. However, this required many different scenes and numerous clips.
So, in the end, I decided to shoot a two-person video. This was relatively easier to shoot and edit, though I still encountered difficulties, such as the rhythm being overly tight due to the one-minute length. Nevertheless, I was quite satisfied with the final result. It at least met my initial expectations and wasn't too bad.
