Workshop Experiment

RGB Split Effect

From watching the film, LIFE & LIMBS- Fingers Fall I found my self liking the film mainly because of the RGB Split effect, so I've decided to try making a similar effect to one of my films. Using an old video clip of mine, I went on Premiere and tried to create a RGB split effect. To do this I had to duplicate the same video three times, then going through effect setting, I click dragged RGB Curve effect on to each video, each video being one of each of the 3 colours, one red, one blue and one green. Then using the move tool I moved 2 of the 3 films differently so that the colour effects would be shown throughout the film.

Interview Experiment

In this interview I used mainly cut scenes and audio recordings to create this film. Instead of using a normal sound mic I used a radio mic, which is why the person being interviewed can be heard perfectly but the interviewer can be faintly heard. For the camera I had to change the lens to a 50  lens mainly because the library where we were filming was quite dark and gloomy, and the aperture had to be changed to make it a bit more brighter.

With cutting the scenes and audio recordings, I found it very difficult to match both audio and film together because the first time we did the interview we didn't actually record the audio. So when we did the interview again there were a lot more mistakes which is why it made it more difficult to sync it perfectly together, in the end I had to sync both the audio from the video and mic audio until it was perfect.

The music I used was the closing theme song of Ouran High School Host Club, the reason why I did this was because in the interview the girl told the audience that one of her favorite anime. With the music I had to change volume, so it wouldn't go over the girl talking.
