Walking on Walls Research. P!AD's high hopes music video is unique as it show the lead singer climbing a sky scrapper. This is the Video which shows the possibility of creating the effect that has been shown in the High Hopes video in Premiere Pro.

Cinematography in the Truman Show  The scene I will be using to show cinematography in the Truman show is the Do something scene with Truman and his “Wife”. Straight away a medium shot is used to create a sense of relaxation between the two characters. This allows the viewers to analyse how Truman’s “Wife” is acting and the character that she is playing. So the medium shot helps to show a relaxation between the two people. It helps to make the film feel natural and comfortable and Truman won’t notice what is happening as there is hidden cameras everywhere.   The second type of camera shot used is a two shot which has been used to show the interaction of Truman and his “Wife”. It helps to show a relaxed nature between both of them and there familiar relationship. The next shot is an extreme close up that is zooming in on Truman’s “Wife” as she is advertising the “Mococa” This type of shot helps to show a massive change between what is real a...

Overview: Sky Transformation This is my 1st attempt transforming the sky. I have simply over-layed the stars over a normal background clip. However if i was to do this again i would make it look more professional.  This is the Video that i used to help me Edit the small clip. Giant Green Screen This is the Video that I used to help me make a giant however using a green - screen does differ from how this video does it.  This my First attempt at making someone a giant with a green screen.

Final Task Planning Planning: - I will try to create a 30 second to 1 minute sequence using special effects, to show what i have learned throughout the last 3 weeks. I would like to create a sequence that shows a person moving to a beat and a series of animation's to create a high quality piece.  This is the Video that I shall be using to help me create my final piece of the Special Effects Editing - Independent study task.  I will either use a person or maybe a dog which will allow me to create the lines that are evident in this video.  

One - Take Planning:   Kingsman: The Secret Service Church Fight Scene was done in One Take. This can be seen by the continuous tracking shot on Colin Firth.  This Scene is from the film Baby Driver. This scene is one continuous tracking shot. This is quite effective way to start a film .   The Opening of Spectre is one continuous tracking shot, however it may not have been done in one take but it still is very effective. As it is a Continuous shot on Daniel Craig.  

Possible Interests for NEA Final Piece: On the 9th of July this is the sort of idea that i would like to explore: Spike Jonze, Special Effects, Where the Wild Things Are, (Fairy tale), Children's Book's.  On the 19th of July the film Christopher Robin interested me in the different aspect of animation VS real life.

We created this by using the box and creating the same perspective. This has helped to show a development throughout my work.  Second Attempt: This my attempt at shrinking people i feel the outcome has turned out well compared to the 1st attempt. I have made this via using a green screen and then layering the Actor into the Box. 

Attempting to turn someone into a Giant:  This is the video that I used to help me create the Giant Effect in Premiere Pro. This tutorial goes through a step to step guide of how to make someone a Giant through Premiere Pro.  This is my first attempt with creating a giant using Premiere Pro. I used the Crop tool in Premiere pro to crop the Actor to fit the size of the stage. I have then overlaid the footage to create this. However I will attempt this later to try and make it better and more professional.
