Best Way To Put Vhs To Digital

Action!

Today first day of filming! For the course
Lens & Sound Crafts I had to shoot six scenes that, once assembled, will form a short sequence of 45 seconds. It is not of nothing special, it's just an exercise to see if we can manage the camera, so much so that once shot and edited this scene there is not even evaluated. To help me in an incredible undertaking, Group 102 , the team we are part of me and four other girls - of which not a single English! Although maybe I'd better tell the other three members of my team, as a preferred last night getting drunk with vodka and now had too much headache for us ...

The scene is shot, ironically written by the component is absent today, sees the American woman of our group for some wandering the streets of London in search of a way. At one point collides with the girl Hungary, which he shows that is right under the sign of the street looking for: the goal is reached and the movie is finished.

To register less than eight minutes of film (of which during assembly will be used only 45 seconds, as I said), we have spent something like two hours. In fact, I expected much worse. Probably we would have spent less if our teacher had taught us how to properly use the stand, that instead what we have been taught by the technician in charge of managing the equipment that the university once we have returned the camera ... and we would have spent even less time if I had some delusions of perfectionism and Beppe very well known to all other friends who have had the unfortunate idea to say yes when I asked him to lend themselves as actors for Dark ! My international team is slowly learning to hate me, but I think that even if you complain when I ask the fifth take the rest are happy to work with me as I with them.

I'm happy with this first day, we worked well and has done something practical, that was exactly what I wanted. There is still a long way to go though before I can bring to the screen that I see inside my head. Often I happen to think a shot and not being able to play it perfectly as I would, because you the arrangement of elements, vertical and horizontal lines never properly aligned, or the wobbly stand. I also hope that in future the teacher told us to follow a bit 'more, because by the time it was a bit' constipated with instructions ...

And now, it's up to the assembly!

Design for the Moving Image & Sound

Once Upon a Time in the West

My Friday afternoon is occupied by two hours Design for the Moving Image , face teaching to explain the management of space to compose images and sequences with a strong emotional impact. The first lesson he has introduced some of the key points to consider when composing a picture: the lines, the shape, volume, surface and pattern. We were invited to think together with our neighbor's place we had seen a film in which these elements were used in a particularly effective way. I just returned from the vision of Kubrick's Space Odyssey, I could not take away from the head lines of the Star Gate sequence and the shape of the Black Monolith Some have named the sequence of American Beauty roses regarding surface and available, while for a particular use of the lines was quoted The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari , German silent film of 1920. The teacher then showed us the first fifteen minutes of Once Upon a Time in the West to let us see how Sergio Leone was very attentive to the management of space, and as the arrangement of elements within his images convey precise messages, so you do not need any dialogue on the part of the characters to express tension, loneliness, and heat. Before concluding the lesson, the teacher asked us to leave the street for about twenty minutes looking for shapes and surfaces that attract our attention. His goal was to demonstrate how each environment (in this case, the industrial town) had its lines and shapes applicants (In this case a lot of straight lines and few curves).

During this training you will be prompted to dial a sketchbook in which we draw or photograph sequences that best describes the activities provided by a screenplay that will be delivered. Although this teaching sounds very interesting, I can not wait to take action. It scares me but the fact that compared to Italian university that claims far more independence from the British students, and often not to be told exactly what we must do so outright.

In the meantime, let's see.

How To Get Loose Stools

Lens + Crafts Post-Production Crafts

On Tuesday is a busy day for me, as I see busy with three hours of lessons in the morning and three in the afternoon, but it has the great advantage of being followed by two days completely free, which is useful in the future I will return to study and to dedicate the various projects that my course demands.

The morning is occupied by the teaching of Lens Crafts & Sound, which should instruct on the operation and use of cameras, lights and microphones, along with the recording technique and recording, which means that there will be just how it works the various instruments, but also how to make the shots better. During our first lesson, plus a speech Introductory Rite, our professor explained the basic principals shots - close up big (detail), close up (first floor), mid shot (middle field), long shot (long range) and very long shot (long range). They followed an explanation of how to organize the footage and watching a short documentary on how you can manage the shots and the effect that a detail rather than a mean field in terms of emotional impact. Although it has been a small appetizer, it was very interesting start to see what made into a film involves many rules and tricks very simple and needs used to manufacture a decent product. For example, the rule of 180 degrees : When they film two people are talking at each other, the camera must always be on the same side of the imaginary line that unites them, otherwise the viewer experiences a disorientation.

The lesson of the afternoon Post-Production Crafts held by the same professor L & SCs , focuses instead on the assembly (so much so that this teaching had to be called Editing , but sounded a little pompous, as explained by the teacher himself - post-production actual assembly process involves many more, even much more complex). During this insegnameto we will use the computers provided by the university to mount what they're shooting during the Tuesday morning and other days of the week. Before Christmas, in fact I expect a great group project!


During the introductory lesson, however, we did not put hand or the cameras or computers, but was given to us a brief description of what has been the history of cinema, and of how strongly depended on the invention of the assembly. When the Lumière brothers invented the camera, in fact, had not thought that was what this movie could be combined with any other shot, going to create a sequence of different scenes. Incredibly, Auguste and Louis after their fun with the invention were made to take the disappointment because we are convinced that cinema is not nothing but a scientific curiosity, and that he had no future commercial!

The course is very intriguing prospect, hopefully good! A
tomorrow Design for the Moving Image !
