AS NEA: Adverts

Advert Progress

Before the closure of schools due to the coronavirus outbreak, I managed to finish both of my adverts as well as gain feedback from my teacher on how to improve them. 

From the feedback, I added colour correction throughout the advert, first I increased saturation to improve consistency and brighten up some of the clips. This is because the clips were taken from many different venues where some were darker than others. Next I adjusted colour correction in the second advert to add more blues and give an impression of sadness, this helps portray the main characters disappointment as he learns he is injured which could affect his chance of getting drafted. 

Overall I think both of my adverts turned out how I wanted them too and I think I used my use of editing skills and effects to create a good flow to both adverts. I am also happy with how I  portrayed the main character as I think the talking heads from him and his 'coach' showed him as highly skilled and a hard worker. I also think the soundtracks I used fits the culture of basketball and would suit the target audience well.

shots task

Today our task was to take a range of shots around the school.  A tilt shot or canted angle is used to show speed, movement or an unsettled mood. A long shot is used to show something at distance. It can be used to show a character at distance and to show that they are dominated by they're surroundings.    A close up shot is used to concentrate the audiences attention to one thing with minimal background detail. It can also be used to show a characters emotion or feelings.

Kuleshov Experiment

The Kuleshov experiment is where the same reaction is used for different sequences of footage. This shows how context is important to scenes in media as in my task it shows the actor smiling at some sweets which makes him seem innocent whereas when the footage shows hes smiling at a child being shouted at, it makes him seem creepy and weird but makes him come across as a different person.
