Week 1 Asynchronous Study:
Types of Shot Sizes:
Fig 1.1, shot sizes, ( week 1, 24/04/2024)
- Extreme Wide Shot: This establishes the location, it focus onto building the place of the scene where the main character or subject is wither very small or simply not visible at all.
- Wide Shot (WS)/Long Shot (LS): Subject is shown from head to toe in order to also tell the environment of the scene.
- Full Shot: Subject is shown from head to toe tighter than wide shot.
- Medium Wide Shot (MWS): Subject is frames from above the knees
- Medium Shot (MS): Frames subject from waist up, it is mostly shot for dialogues.
- Medium Close-Up (MCU): Frames the subject from chest up, this emphasizes the subject's emotion and reaction.
- Close-Up (CU): Frames the subject’s face strictly, this highlights the subject's emotion and detail even more.
- Extreme Close-Up (ECU): Frames the detailed features of part of the face (or any object/scene) (for example eyes).
Types of framing:
Fig 1.2, shot sizes, ( week 1, 24/04/2024)- Single Shot: Emphasize one character in a frame.
- Two-Shot: Two characters are shown in a frame which tells viewer of their relationship.
- Over-the-Shoulder (OTS) Shot: A character is shown in the frame from behind another character's shoulder, this is usually used in conversations.
- Over-the-Hip (OTH): A character is shown in the frame from below another character's hip, this shows power imbalance.
- Point of View (POV) Shot: The frames shows what the character is looking at, as if we are the character in it.
- Insert Shot: Focuses on a specific object in the scene.
Types of Camera Angle:
Fig 1.3, shot sizes, ( week 1, 24/04/2024)- Eye-Level: The camera is place on the eye-level to gain Neutral perspective and make it seems balanced.
- High Angle: Camera is placed on top, looking down towards subject in order for the subject to appear vulnerable or weak.
- Low Angle: Camera is placed on the bottom, looking up towards the subject in order for the subject to appear powerful.
- Overhead/Bird’s Eye View: Camera is placed directly overhead, creating distortion, abstraction or vulnerability.
- Dutch Angle (Tilted Shot): Camera have a slanted horizon, creating uneasiness and a sense of disorientation.
- Worm’s Eye View: Camera is placed at an extremely low angle looking straight up, this leads to distortion which emphasizes scale or power.
Types of compositions:- Rule of Thirds: Frame is divided into 3 equal parts both horizontally and vertically, the subject will be place at the intersection which creates balance and interest.
- Leading Lines: Using imaginary lines or actual lines (example: roads, walls) in order to guide the viewer’s eye to the subject.
- Symmetry and Balance: A symmetrical shots made to feel harmonious and balance, however it could also be use to create tension depending on the situation.
- Depth: Using foreground, middle ground, and background layering in order to add dimension.
- Headroom and Lead Room: Head room: Space above the subject's head; Lead room: Extra space provided when the subject is moving towards a direction.
- Framing Within Frames: Using objects (ex. windows and doors) in order to create visual frames.
- Patterns and Textures: Patterns could be repeated to create pleasure and broken to create emphasis, Texture could create interest.

Fig 1.7, Storyboard, ( week 3, 08/05/2024)
How to create a storyboard:- Identify key Scenes: Breakdown the key beats or plot points. For example location and character.
- Map out scenes: Divide major parts into columns and organize it by naming each one of them.
- Add image/sketches: Add image, reference, or draw the scene out.
- Describe what happen in each frame: Dialogues, camera angle, compositions could be written down or sketched further to increase understanding of the scene.

Week 4 Asynchronous Study:
There are 5 stages of film production:- Development: This is the beginning or the initial stage, where the producer have an idea. At this stage the producer will put together the package, which refers to collection of creative elements that will be a part of the project, for example, screenplay or the list of actors. Financing also happens at this stage, studios can get money from presales, investors, or take out loans.
- Pre-Production: This refers to the preparation necessary before filming, which include budgeting, getting the team together (hiring the crew), and pre-visualizing (making a storyboard and writing a short-list).
- Production: This is where the actual film-making takes place. At this stage there will be a call sheet, a document containing the call times and what will they do during the day. This is also where "the set up" happens, where all cameras and lightning are set up to do the shoot, and makeup and costume department prepare their actors. After that shooting will happen.

Week 6 Asynchronous Study:
Color theory is a science theory used to explain colors hues and saturation, at the same time it's also a creative discipline that tells of how color is used to create the emotions. There are 3 types of color theory:
-Color wheel -Color context
-Color harmony
Fig 1.10, Color Wheel ( week 6, 03/05/2024)
Color temperature is how warm or cool the light is, it is used to set the mood of the movie.
Color correction is the first step in color editing as it adjust the footage in order to look natural. It is done within 5 steps:
1. Normalizing the footage 2. Fixing saturation 3. fixing brightness and contrast 4. Setting the new color balance 5. Double checking the skin tones
Color grading is the next optional step, color grading is used to set the mood or tone of the narrative and create the aesthetics of the video. Color grading uses LUT, or look up tables, a cheat sheet used to give desired grade and look. Color grading is done within 5 steps.

Exercises
Mints Exercise (Week 1)
In this exercise we were given clips of videos to be put together into a complete one, just like a puzzle. This acts as an introduction to Adobe Premier Pro to make us familiar with the software itself. Below is the process on how I do so.
Fig 2.1, Process work, (Week 1, 25/04/2025)
Shown below in Fig 2.2 is the final work.
Fig 2.2, Final work, (Week 1, 25/04/2025)
Doritos Exercise (Week 1)
In this exercise we were assigned to put together another clip to make it complete. I used the same method as mentioned on Fig 2.1 above. Below is the final work.
Fig 2.3, Process work, (Week 1, 25/04/2025)
Fig 2.4, Final work, (Week 1, 25/04/2025)
Exercise: Shooting and editing (Week 2)
In this exercise we were task to video 8 types of shots with a duration of 5 seconds each shot. We were then tasked to edit it by giving captions for each type of shot. Shown below is the process of how I do so.
Fig 2.5, Process work, (Week 1, 25/04/2025)
I decided to add shadow to the text to differentiate it a little with the box. And for the opening title I used a bit of a background black color so that when it transition to the first video it doesn't blend with the background. And in order to make the video exiting and interesting, I added music into it. I added the music that's well suited for the video. Music used: Rockwell- Somebody's watching me. Shown below is the final work
Fig 2.5, Final work, (Week 1, 25/04/2025)
Lanin Exercise (Week 2)
For this exercise we were told to combine the clips provided, cut the unnecessary parts of it, trim it to exactly 35 seconds, and input the graphics provided. In order to make the video more dramatic I also include some background music.
Music used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyvrJ3fs_Kk
Fig 2.5, Final work, (Week 2, 03/05/2025)
Exercise: Shooting and editing (Week 3)
On week 3 we have another shooting exercise during class. In were divided into groups again and were task to shoot 5 types of shot sizes. Attached below is the editing process which is similar to that of week 2. In addition to that I also added a sound track to make it more interesting.

Exercise: Storyboard making (Week 5)
During this week's class we were given a list of shots, along side a description of the scene and it's shot size. We were tasked to draw a storyboard to imagine the composition for the given scene. Below is my storyboard in which I drew on the paper given during class.
Fig 2.6, Storyboard, (Week 5, 21/05/2025)
Reflections
I have a lot of fun during this first few weeks, the task given alongside the exercise we did in class makes me understand more on how to recreate shots, and how these shots are actually different from each other. In addition to that I also learned more about premier pro, I came to an understanding on how various tools works and how to use them correctly accordingly.
