Task 3
For the final project we were task to shoot a video with a minimum of 1 VFX
inside it. The theme of the video is chosen by tarot cards, and for this
project the chosen card is the judgement card. For the final project I
teamed up with Samuel Keane, a classmate from the same BDCM course to make
the video. Shown below is the PDF of the project proposal.
As one of the VFX we choose is super speed, I try to use the effect during
one of our classes in week 10. First, I shot some clips of my classmate in
my phone, and then began editing it in adobe after effect using the tutorial
video written in the proposal. For this effect I used time stretch and force
motion blur

After doing the trial run for the VFX, we started on the preproduction.
Shown below is the storyboard for the video.

After making the storyboard, we started to shoot the scene, the setting of
the shots were taken in my apartment's bedroom and in Samuel's apartment's
bathroom. Here is the photo of the settings.

There was also a scene that was shot just outside my bedroom unit, shown below is the photo of it.

And for the props, we mainly used a desk lamp for the light source, some soju bottles, and a laptop.

All the shots were taken during night time when the sun already
went down so that the only source of lightning will be the artificial light
we used to maintain consistency between each shots. We did several takes on
each scene, compare it between one another, and take the best out of it.

After that we began the editing process in adobe premier pro. First we
compile all of our shots, edit the sounds and do color correction from
one shot to another, to maintain consistency. Then we add an adjustment
layer in order to color grade it

After that, I went to after effect to make the VFX for the last 2
shots. First I edited the superspeed VFX. I cut the video to the desired
duration, and cut it into 3 parts. I used the forced motion blur in
effects and presets to apply it in the video.

Reflections
This final task was overall fun to do, I got to apply the different types
of shots that I have learned for the previous tasks and also apply color
correction and color gradings onto it. I liked how we were given the
opportunity to work with a partner or alone, as for me, working with a
partner makes the task way enjoyable as we could discuss and brainstorm as
a team. Not only that I liked how we were also given the freedom to
develop out own storyline according to the theme given and also use the
VFX of our choice.
I also learned a lot from the feedbacks given from Mr. Martin. He has
given a lot of insights on how tom make the story good and interesting.
Our story have changed a total of 2 times upon receiving feedbacks from
Mr. Martin. And because of this feedbacks I became really satisfied with
the outcome of the final video.
