This week of College was about our BBC News Article and building it up Wednesday Wednesday's session with Tony was about introducing us to the topic and coming up with our story, we learnt about how articles are written, we also got the chance to write our own article, my article was on the upcoming DC Film "The Suicide Squad" which will be released in 2021, i am very passionate about Comic Books and Superhero Movies in general, I also write my own Comic Books, my hero's name is "Super Albie," he is essentially an amalgamation of some character traits from other superheroes, more specifically Batman and Iron Man, Super Albie has Iron Man's Advanced Technology and Batman's sense of right and wrong, in fact some of my comics are sort of based on Batman story lines from the DC Comics. Anyway, the Wednesday session was about writing a first draft of our article, later on we were put in groups of 3 with people we didn't know well, which helped some...

video Recorded with the Quicktime Software Our lesson with Foxy today was about editing using Adobe Premiere Pro, in Premiere Pro we call Folders Bins for some reason. Bins= Folders You need to create Folders in Premiere Bin 1: Scene 1 Bin 2: VFX Bin 3: Sound/Audio Bin 4: Scene 2            Scene 3            Scene 4             ETC (however many scenes there are in your film QT Edit Technique SD Card: Clips on SD Card Folder-Private-AVCHD-.mts File (Clips) Top File (Hold Shift) "  "  Bottom file I feel today that I have learned a lot in this session, hopefully I can use these skills down the line during the course. We used Quicktime to record the screen of our computer.

Today, in our lesson with Tony, we were working on our BBC News Article, my original idea was to talk about the new Joker Movie being released, but apparently it had already been done, i then thought of some other ideas, some included "is Spider Man better with Disney?" "The new Batman Movie" and "Has the MCU changed Superhero Movies?" but in the end, I decided to talk about the new Suicide Squad film being directed by James Gunn, I talked about Gunn being fired by Disney and also about the cast of the movie, I also mentioned how the Joker and Batman won't be in the movie, Joker won't be in the film due to the backlash Jared Leto's portrayal received in the 2016 film. Later on, we were split into groups of three, we were partnered with people we didn't know well, this was to help us get to know other people in the group. the other 2 article ideas were "Is the BBC Not Relevant to Teens?" and "Life on the Road 2019, does lif...

In our lesson with Luke today, we were learning about how to use Photoshop, our Endgame if you will is to make a Movie Poster using Photoshop. During the lesson, we learnt how to use all the tools and everything and how to edit photos using the various tools. During this session, I managed to construct this, it is a poster for the upcoming Doctor Strange Sequel which releases in roughly two years. I felt that the lesson was really good and i feel like I learned a lot in using the software and how to edit photos. we managed to remove backgrounds and how to make movie posters, well the poster is what i did.

 Our lesson today with Foxy was about operating and using the cameras, when thinking about sound, we need to think about the sensitivity of the microphone and the sound. We also need to think about the Boom, which essentially is an extendable stick with a microphone on the end, the directional microphones help with sound effects when it comes to guns. External Microphones are external to the camera, when recording with the camera we have to use Headphones to help avoid distortion. White Balance is to make sure the lighting is just right when filming with the camera. we also learnt about exposure, the dark and light parts and also learning about why news is called news. Focus means to focus on something through the camera, this is what makes everything in camera look pristine and high definition, when out of focus everything in the camera goes blurry. This session was pretty good, I learned a lot and on top of that, I had a pretty hilarious Teacher

We are currently working towards creating a story for a BBC News Page, my original idea was to include something to do with the new Joker film thats coming out soon, but that has already been on the site, so my next idea is to debate whether Spider Man belongs with Disney in the MCU or with Sony in their own universe with the other Spider Man Marvel Characters.

Induction project The topic for the short film project was an object, we came up with the idea that a fuggler goes around and eats and licks random stuff. The film then ends with the monster licking Tony. On our second day we started shooting, we used a variety of shots and sequences such as close ups, wide angles pan sequences. Our director (Ted) instructed Tony on how to act and arranged his positioning on camera. Later that day we reviewed our footage and decided what else we could add or still needed to shoot. We used a tri pod (legs) to get many stable shots of the main character, then our cameramen (Luke and Ainslie) got many mid shots and shot the same scene in a variety of angles. The settings for inside that were used were: ND filter on 0, and Auto White Balance. We redid the White Balance for outside, and put the ND filter on full, to account for the increased exposure. On the next day we did reshoots and started the editing process later on in the d...

Yesterday, Tony was talking to us about writing a news story that would fit on a BBC News Page, when we first got the assignment which I'm guessing either starts Friday or next week, I started thinking "What am I going to write about?" and given that I'm use to writing things like stories, YouTube videos and Comic Books, this is proving quite a challenge for me, however I'm thinking of talking about some kind of entertainment related news, more specifically the Venice Film Festival, my idea is to talk about the Joker film and the 8-minute standing ovation it received.

Today and yesterday, we were adding the finishing touches to our short film, we had some good footage from the shooting we had done over the few days we were in college, from what we've got I think it looks really good overall.

Our project was called "The object," we were told to create a 2-3 minute short film, our group had the idea of recreating the Backstreet Boys scene from "Brooklyn Nine Nine" which for the record is pretty funny, our object was a Drone that unfortunately didn't work, the drone was suppose to be Andy Samberg's Character and the Whiteboard pens were the suspects. We also had a Pink Highlighter play the woman who said "Number 5 killed my brother." I feel like I learned a lot in this session, and Tony I feel is a great teacher even though he looks like Richard Hillman from Corrie.
