Week 1

This week, Teacher Martin explained to us the main content of this module and what we will do specifically this semester. He also took us to have a preliminary understanding and study of the Adobe Premiere software and did some exercises.

Week 2

In week two, Mr. Martin provided an overview of shot sizes in video production. Shot size refers to the extent of space or area visible to the viewer within the frame. During his presentation, Mr. Martin discussed various standard lens sizes, including:

Ultra-wide-angle lens: This type of lens has a very wide range and can provide a backdrop or backdrop to a scene. Suitable for outdoor and wide field of view scenes.

Wide-angle lens: In this photo, most of the scene is visible, capturing a wide field of view but not covering the entire panorama.

Medium-wide angle lens: This lens is more compact than a wide-angle lens, but still includes a large portion of the surrounding environment. It usually focuses on characters and their interactions.

Mid shot: A mid shot covers the character from the waist up and is often used for dialogue or action involving the character.

Medium Close-up: This shot is closer to the character, usually framed from the chest or shoulders up. It is used to convey emotion and reaction, but is not as intimate as a close-up.

Close-up: This shot captures the subject's face and shoulders, emphasizing their expression and emotion. It is often used in intense or intimate moments.

Ultra Close-up: This is a very close shot that focuses on very specific details, such as a person's eyes, lips, or small objects. It is used for extreme emphasis and can convey strong emotions or intricate details.

Week 3

In week 3, Mr. Martin prepared several videos to teach us the three-act structure of storytelling. These videos may provide valuable insights into how stories are constructed and developed in various forms of media.

Act 1 - Setup: This is where the story begins. In Act 1, the main characters, setting, and central conflict are introduced. It lays the foundation and establishes the status quo. The end of Act 1 often includes the inciting incident, event, or decision that sets the main conflict in motion and drives the story forward.

Act 2 - Confrontation: Act 2 is the longest section of the narrative. It focuses on the development of the story's core conflict. Characters face challenges, make choices, and experience character growth. Subplots often come into play, adding depth to the story. Act 2 often culminates in a major turning point, with the main character facing a crisis or confrontation.

Act 3 - Resolution: Act 3 is the final section of the story. Here, the core conflict climaxes and all loose ends are tied up. The story's questions are answered and the characters' fates are revealed. It often ends with a denouement, a short period of reflection where the audience can see the aftermath of the story.

Week 4

In week 4, Mr Martin briefed us on Project 1, focusing on audio dubbing. This project may involve the process of replacing or enhancing the audio track of a video, which can be a critical aspect of post-production to ensure audio quality and sync with the visuals.

Exercise 1

The teacher asked us to download the videos provided in Google Drive for video editing practice

Here is my exercise:

Exercise 2

Exercise 2 involved editing a video that had been previously shot by a senior student. Mr. Martin provided us with the raw footage and graphics needed for this project. This exercise was probably designed to teach us the practical aspects of video editing, where we had to use the existing material to create a coherent and engaging final video.

This is the link of the video I edited：

Exercise 4

List each scene on a spreadsheet
List each sound effect for each scene
Record a voice with your phone and search for sound effects online.
In the original video, no audio was included, so our task was to add all the missing sounds to the video. Mr. Martin provided us with a link to access the necessary audio resources for this purpose.
