Sound

Soundtracks that are incorporated in a video clip are vital in displaying particular emotions the audience should feel and how they should react to a particular scene. Providing still or moving images is highly important in displaying the point to be proved however sound is what captivates the audience and allows them to feel passionate about the image displayed. It allows the message to sink into the audience and makes the message more easily comprehensive. 

In order to effectively use soundtracks to incorporate throughout the video we had to familiarise ourselves with the program GarageBand. This program allowed us to import our video and then include different sounds throughout the clips in whatever sections we wanted. By learning to use this program i felt a lot more comfortable in being able to portray my message across to the audience as i was able to allow them to feel more passionate about the scene. 

The only implications i had with the program was the amount of different sounds that was accessible and knowing which ones to use and how to incorporate them into each scene. 

Learning how to effectively capture photos

Last week involved getting outside to capture a few pictures, the storyline which we were required to tell by the photos we capture was revolved around uni. The story involved a students first day at uni where they were quite lost, spending time walking around uni looking for the lecture room. When they finally reached the lecture room only to discover it was empty as they had got the wrong day.

This involved taking various photos in different places to effectively portray that idea of being lost and after having ventured all throughout the campus was still lost. Various angles was used to show the image with a different meaning, where shots that were taken from behind was in order to show the view from the students eyes. Low angles used to determine a moments when the student was feeling confident as if they were confident as to where they were going. Low angles was also used in order to capture a larger view point and show more of a corridor or room. 

Next time however i would take much more photos as when it comes to editing the more photos can be used to play around with where as not enough does not allow to experiment when it comes to editing, involving the different transitions where many can be shown within that small time period. Different angles would be used to capture various expressions facially or even physically which will convey more emotion to an audience.
