Day Three

Hello.
Its day three of our P1.

Yan Ping and I reached school late today and enter the lecture halfway while Alfie was talking. So we just sat down at the corner seats. haha. Sorry!

So today its a combined lecture.
Alfie showed us some videos and talked to us about the style of filming. Like theres this video about the Mallory and Irvine Expedition at Mount Everest.
The shooting style is like Cloverfield's. ( well, i thought cloverfield was not bad because i thought it was quite exciting. Okkk, my point of view la. xD ) and Alfie said this kind of style is not good because the lightings and stuff is really bad and it makes the people look bad as well.
Like, who don't want to look good infront of the camera right?
Yea, so thats what he said. So that kind of style is not approved.
But the introduction using that style was ok, quite cool actually.
But not for the entire video.

And then he showed us Gangs of New York where the style is much better and it makes people looked good as well. And emphasizing on the importance of backdrop.
He said who should pay attention to the set up as well because it is very important. We should make the backdrop interesting and not ignore it.

After Alfie is Ronald.
Ronald talked to us about animation. He showed us a few videos on how people used animation for the starting of the movies. Like introducing the directors, producers and other crew.
I think the intro for Hostage is really cool. Because everything is just so smooth and i think its really nice. Even the colours used were good.

Then there were videos of Shoot 'Em up, monsters inc. The intro as well as the closing were done using animation. And they were all done up really nice.

Like what Alfie has said, set up is really important. Even opening and closing, although they were all just really short ones but we must still put in efforts to it. Because opening leaves more impression on ppl. When ppl see the opening, if it is interesting, they will somehow or rather be more interested and feel that the movie will be a good one. No?

Next was Wahidah. She showed us videos on like, interviews. The fog of war, eleven lessons by errol morris.
I'm more to, action movie type. So interviews videos really bore me. But then again, its the style of the video that matters. Like how they used cutaways and old footages for the video.

After that we were dismissed.
Yay.

Bye (:
