Video Sequencing

  • Sequencing helps save time in a video, you can make a one minute clip into a 20 second clip or even less .
  • it helps the video editor tell the story by using a lots of wide, medium and tight shots.
  • without compression, the movie tends to be really boring
  • the viewers are used to seeing time compression everyday when they watch TV or a movie and they buy into your compression.
  • you should shoot a variety of shots
  • you should the action first and then the reaction
  • you should hold your shots for about 10 seconds each.
  • Don’t pan or zoom

photoshop effects: photo minipulation

I first went on to google and looked through the photoshop tutorial and i found this site:
http://www.photoshopstar.com/photo-effects/photo-manipulation/

There were bunch of cool photoshop tricks , and my favourite one was the photo manipulation, i thought it was really cool.

So first i got a piture of the guy's eye from google and followed the instructions. Then i got the a piture of a map and added it on top. As i went on following the instructions, i had to get the piture of a fish under water, and i added a shark on the guy's eye, rather than adding lots of fishes.

Over all it was an easy effect and even though it doesn't look as good as the original, it still looks cool.
