Today we had a talk by Pete Fraser on the opening scenes of movies and student media clips. We had to watch the opening scenes on movies which we may or may not have been familiar about and analyse the effects it had on us. We would discuss what genre the film would be, if there was any enigma codes, the setting of the movie and many more specific details.
I learnt today about the process used in films called 'Foley'. This is the use of sound effects emphasising certain scene/moves in a movie clip. For example, if a fight is taken place in a film, if a punch was thrown, they would seperately record a sound similar to what a punch would sound like and edit it onto the fight scene. This foley is also used for simple things you wouldn't notice such as; footsteps, sitting on a chair, knocking on a door, writing with a pen and many many more.
We also had an innner view of the criteria on how our 2 minute movie would be marked, consising of marking the levels from 1-4, Level 1 being a D, level 2 being a C, level 3 being a B and level 4 being an A.
