This video is a group work of week 5. All of the group members allotted each part of the story and have their own parts to shot after we received the script. At the start, we were a little bit confused about the script, but we figure it out after the discussion. I think we did a good job with this video. Firstly, we know when and what should each of us do with the senses and we picked a good place to shot as well as use mid shot pretty well. Moreover, it was the first time we start using professional words, such as “rolling” “action” “cut”. When I was editing this video, I was having a hard time of deciding which one should I use, cause some of them may not shot by myself so I may feel the video is not the way I want to make it looks like. But we don’t have time to shot again. But overall I think we did a pretty good job with it, especially the group work with other group members. Meanwhile, I also notice that while the group was shooting I should give some of my opinions if I think it may not well cause each of us is not familiar with all of those instructions.
I got the idea from the movie “the Pursuit of Happyness”. It was very impressive that when the main charactor finally got a job and when he was walking on the street. He felt so happy at that time and started claping and crying. Meanwhile, people around him on the street were all very indifferent and glassy-eyed. The contrast between the charactor and all the other people is a very great way to help audience feel or understand how strange and happniess of the main charactor.
The place of the scene I think Melboure central maybe a nice place. Cause I want to make sure I have the contrast between others and the main charactor so that it could set the emotion of the charactor off to strange and clear. Somewhere like Melboure central street which under the melboure central clock is nice place. cause there is crowed and always have people walk around.
The charactor is an from the scene is a middle-aged man who is in a suit after working. The suit is not very fancy and expensive, just a normal suit in a dark color because dark color would help the charactor himself look more steady. The charactor would be a middle-aged man. The charactor was just divorce with his wifi because he doesn’t have a formal job and he often drinks a lot. He wallks among the street with a botton of whisky.
Shots of the scene I think should be Mid close up or close up as well as shot from a little bit far away. Cause its needed the contrast between the main charactor and other people, so mid close up or close up is to show more clear emotion of the charactor, the shot from a distant is to show all the others’ face expretion and set the charactor’s emtion off strangly.
The sound track of this scene is background music only. Although the charactor was claping and crying its hard to hear that in a busy street. So here just put a cherring, stirring and moving music which could help audience feel how happiness the charactor feels would be better.

In this movie clips, there are lots of Mid shots, bird’s eye view, low angle, close shot or extreme close shot. Because of that audience can see more clearly how big was the Titanic and how the disaster happened. Since the Titanic is a huge and fancy yacht as well as its too big to shot if they use mid shot so that a lot of bird’s eye view and low angle shots been used in this movie and this clip includes a lot of those scenes. Especially at the beginning of this clip, used low angle shot to show there are thousands of people trying to get into this fancy yacht. The low angle shot was like the angle of people stand in front of the entering gate. It could help the audience feel more real and also show the grand of the yacht. There are also many close shots an extremely close shot to show clearly the face expression of passenger, mariner waiters, etc. Some of them are calm and ready to face death, some of them are terrified and running around or screaming as well as mid shots to reveal most of their actions and conversations. The bird’s eye view always comes with to show how the yacht big and fancy and how it broke and fell into the ocean. The background music is fast and tragic. Because of the yacht was broken everyone was running around and screaming, people wanted to find a way to get out of it. Everyone is terrified so the bag ground music is perfectly reflected the emergency situation at that time and how to panic the accident. Moreover, People’s screaming, Mariners’ talking, a worker seeking for help and try to get into the lifeboat, even the breaking of the yacht, every single voice are after the background music. Most of the videos in this clip are dark and blue which blue is also a cool tone can make it looks more hopeless. The editing of this clip is very good. The rhythm between each scene and the background music is very harmonious. It is fast and compact which is really good to play up the tension.
1.The frist one is the original picture. I used three-way color corrector to change the whole image into blue and pink. The blue one I put the point of midtones forward to blue and the point of highlights to light blue. The second one I just changed midstones to pink.
2.The first picture is the orignal one. For this one I made few changes of the nput level and output levels. The first one I made it less contrast so I made both output and input very high which is higher than 250. The second one I would like to make it more expoure so I made the input very high which is higher than 100 and the output levels lower than 100 which is 88.
3. The first one is the original picture. For this one I made it looks more nature and warm. The frist grade I changed is shadows and highlights which I made shoadows into a little blue and highlights more pink. The last one I changed is a little blue and more yellow for highlights.
