Exercises 1: Mints advertise

Mr. Martin assigned us to do a short class exercise and instructed us how to use Adobe Premiere Pro. We got a folder of edited videos, and then we had to arrange the timeline accordingly.

Next, in our second exercise, we can also get the one that contains this cut video, and continue to arrange it. It is actually the same as the first exercise.

Reflection 

Mr. Martin's tutoring class is really helpful and interesting. He can speak Chinese, which makes me feel very kind. It's fun to do this exercise because we have to rearrange all the video clips into the correct arrangement to make a complete video. This is my first contact with Premiere Pro software, which is very challenging for me.

Exercise 3: Framing & Shooting

In this exercise, we are going to shot and explore 8 different shot sizes (how large the area that's visible within the area) we learnt during lecture, the main objective is to practice GOOD COMPOSITION by shooting the videos below

 

1.     Low angle Wide shot

2.     Frontal MCU (soft  background)

3.     Frontal MS (soft  background)

4.     Extreme Close-Up shot

5.     Side angle MS (soft  background)

6.     ¾ angling MCU shot (with blurry/soft  foreground)

7.     Close-Up shot   

8.     Eye-Level Medium-Wide shot

Exercise  4: My name is "LALIN"

We were asked to watch a recorded tutorial on YouTube by Mr Martin, and did the video editing with the footages provided. There're 12 shots there, and storyboard was also provided to indicate the editing order.
