Week 2 

We studied the concepts of framing and storyboarding in photography, which is the basic unit of film and video made up of many shots. Here are some basic concepts about photography:

Lens: The basic unit of video, representing a continuous photographic process.
Sequence: A continuous image consisting of a series of scenes or shots that are themselves complete.
Scenario: Defines the place or environment where the action takes place.
The concept of different lens injection amounts,

Super wide Angle lens
Wide-angle lens
Medium wide Angle lens
Medium shot
Medium close-up
feature
Extreme close-up
Over-the-shoulder shot

Camera Angle, shooting Angle and the height of the subject are all important factors that affect the shooting effect and visual presentation. Here is some basic information about these concepts:

Camera Angle:
45° Angle (3/4 Angle) : makes the subject look more three-dimensional and natural.
Multifaceted shooting: When shooting two or more sides, using the right Angle can enhance the three-dimensional sense of the scene,
Reduce parallel lines: Adjust the camera Angle so that the parallel lines gradually decrease and converge to the right,
Shooting Angle:
Low Angle: When shooting at a low Angle, the subject looks taller and stronger, which is suitable for creating a majestic scene or emphasizing the subject's strength.
Corner of the eye: Usually used for portrait or shooting dynamic scenes.
High Angle: An aerial view can be created to emphasize the vulnerability of the subject or to make the subject appear smaller.

Screen direction:
Dynamic screen orientation refers to continuous screen movement in a video, ensuring that an object or character moves in the same direction to show progress and keeps the camera shooting from the same side.
In the static screen orientation, the camera should remain on the horizontal axis and not cross to avoid disorientation of the audience.
Following the 180° rule is essential to ensure visual continuity and plot clarity.

Introduce the world and main characters of the story
Create dramatic situations
Introduce an event that complicates the story (plot point 1)
Scene Two: Middle/confrontation
Known as the "Rising Action" (climax)
Create obstacles and complications that prevent characters from achieving their goals
The Climb before the story begins (Plot Point 2)
Scene Three: Ending/resolution
climax
Solve all obstacles and problems
End the storyline loosely

Plot point 1 is the key moment in the story when the plot becomes more complex.
Seditious event: A major event occurs that triggers a turning point in the story.
Take the story in a new direction: Characters are faced with a new challenge or opportunity to change the direction of the story.

Episode 2 is another key moment in the story, known as "The Longest Mile".
Climate Turning point: The story reaches a tense climax and the protagonist's mission reaches a critical point.
Possible solutions are presented: the characters are faced with a decisive choice, trying to solve a problem or achieve a goal.
Maximum suspense: The audience is unsure whether the main character will succeed, creating tension and anticipation, wondering whether the main character will win or lose.

Video watch -1 Larin
The first scene
Lalin is a girl from Thailand who has suffered negative comments on social media. She chose to study in Japan. In reality, she always uses a mask to hide her inferiority complex, but she always posts retouched photos on social media and gets a lot of good reviews.
Then Lalin received a letter from Noot, a Thai novelist. They wanted Larin to translate his work and publish it in Japan. Lalin agrees to help and starts a long online chat with NUT.

Lalin and NUT's relationship heats up and they start chatting, even facetime. But when Nuo asked him why he wore a mask during the video call, she always avoided saying it was because of allergies.
Later, when Nut comes to Japan and invites Larin to meet and is happy about it, Larin is not confident about her appearance.
At the climax of the story, Larin turns down NUT's invitation. Although NUT was rejected, he got Larin to read his book.

When Larin reads NUT's book, he finds out the story is that Nut and Lalin meet for the first time, but Nut is fat, but Lalin hugs him and encourages him. When Larin wanted to see Nut, he had already left.
What is the incitement in the film?
Larin has received a lot of negative comments on social media because of her appearance. She wanted to escape, so she came to Japan to study. And posted his edited photos online.
What's the middle scene in the movie?
Larin and Nut started talking frequently, even facetime. When NUT asked her why she was wearing a mask, she avoided it because of her allergies.
What's the climactic scene in the movie?
When Nut arrives in Japan and wants to meet Larin, Larin runs away due to her lack of confidence in her appearance.
What is the theme of the film?
The theme of the story is to tell people to be confident, not to be confident in themselves just because they are not bound. Everyone has their own advantages, appearance is not the only standard to evaluate a person.

Video Watch -2 Everything, everywhere, all at once.

The main character is the middle-aged woman in the first act. She spends her days balancing a wife, mother, and boss, but when she unfortunately encounters a family crisis, she discovers that it is made up of multiple parallel universes. She exists in every different time and space.

In the second act, Evelyn is trapped in a chaotic and parallel time and has to grapple with different living conditions and different versions of her loved ones in different time and space. As she explores different time and space along the way, she learns about her past, relationships, and reality. Everyn begins to realize the true extent of her power and the importance of her choices in shaping her destiny.


In the third act, Evelyn needs to confront the darkest corners of her heart as she discovers the importance of newly discovered knowledge and the enormity of her responsibility. Her decision doesn't just determine that she will decide everyone's fate. Faced with huge stakes, Evelyn discovers the true power of love and contact and wins the bet with overwhelming odds. Save everyone.

What is the incitement in the film?

Evelyn finds herself in multiple parallel universes with different living conditions and different versions of her family in different time and space.

What is the midpoint scene in the movie?

Evelyn finds herself facing enormous obstacles while she realizes her primary responsibilities and abilities.

What's the climactic scene in the movie?

Evelyn confronts the darkest corners of her heart as she finds her greatest challenge, a gamble that determines the fate of all.




Top left: This is a close-up (CU) shot. It focuses mainly on the subject's face to capture expressions and emotions, thus allowing the viewer to engage more deeply with the subject's feelings.

Top right: This is a macro lens. It pays close attention to a very small subject or a detail in a larger scene - in this case, a butterfly on a flower - highlighting features that would be missed in a wider shot.

Bottom left image: This photo is a detail photo. It amplifies specific details of the scene - in this case, a hand interacting with food - emphasizing action and drawing attention to specific elements, such as texture and movement.

Bottom right image: This is Medium lens (MS). It captures the subject from an intermediate perspective, usually from the waist up. This photo balances the background and detail, showing some of the environment while keeping the focus on the action or state of the subject.
Left: This is a medium shot (MLS) that shows the character in his environment with the body more visible than the medium shot, but not as wide as the long shot

Top right: This shot is a close-up (CU), tightly focused on the character's face to capture emotional nuances.

Bottom left: This is a mid-shot (MS) that captures the character from the waist up, allowing the viewer to see the character's expression against the backdrop of some background.

Bottom right: Another medium shot (MS), focusing on the interaction between two characters, framed from the waist up.
Top left: This can be considered a full shot (FS) as it shows the entire character along with some background that helps establish the background.

Top right: This is a close-up (CU) of an elderly person, focusing on her movements and expressions.

Bottom left: This photo is a medium close-up (MCU) showing the character from the chest up, focusing on her facial expressions
.
Bottom right: This is a long shot (LS) that shows the character in a wider environment, capturing his whole body and his surroundings.


Depth of Field

What are the foreground, middle and background in the composition?
Composition refers to the arrangement of visual elements in a shot or picture. A good composition, combining foreground, midshot and background, adds visual interest by creating depth and dimension, conveying a sense of movement and rhythm.
 Foreground (the object closest to the viewer)
 Medium (object between foreground and background)
 Background (the object farthest from the viewer)

What is depth of field?
Depth of field is the area of acceptable clarity in front of and behind the subject that the lens is focusing on. It essentially refers to the degree of blur or sharpness of the area around the subject. When you focus on the lens, everything at the same distance as the camera sensor will be clearly visible. Anything closer or farther away won't be as sharp. Objects close to the focused surface appear sharper than objects far away. The cycle of confusion - a gradual transition between sharpness and vagueness.



Deep and shallow depth of field
A deep depth of field is a larger area of focus because it allows more of the image to remain sharp and crisp. It is sometimes referred to as a large depth of field because it has a larger field of focus. Shallow depth of field is a small or narrow area of focus in an image. The background is usually blurry, while only the subject remains in focus.


Screen orientation

What is screen orientation?
Screen orientation (camera orientation) is the direction in which people and objects move within the scene. It can be described as whether the character moves the camera to the left or to the right. Maintaining a cohesive sense of direction is important for clarity and continuity of movement.

What is the 180 degree rule?
Video Cheers Beer "Crab Claw" by JWT Bangkok adheres to the 180-degree rule. The 180-degree rule is a guide for maintaining the orientation of the screen throughout the scene. This rule assumes that an imaginary line is drawn in the middle of the scene, and that the camera shoots from only one side of this line, also known as the axis of action. * This ensures that subjects on one side of the screen don't inexplicably jump to the other side.

Static and dynamic screen directions:
A still lens is a camera setting where the camera remains still, capturing scenes that do not move significantly, and often evokes a feeling of contemplation, stability, and intimacy. Dynamic shots involve camera movement that adds energy and visual vitality to a scene, evokes a variety of emotions and enhances storytelling.

What is continuity in cinematography?
Continuous editing is a technique used in cinematography to maintain consistency in time and space throughout a film. It involves blending multiple shots (even shots taken at different times or places) into a seamless and consistent narrative.

Week 3 

A storyboard in filmmaking is a visual representation of a film, animation, or video game. It consists of a series of illustrations or images, displayed in sequence like a comic strip, conducive to pre-visualizing the final film.

Storyboards are used to plan shots, understand the narrative flow, and communicate ideas to the production team. It includes details such as camera angles, character movements, dialogue, and special effects, giving filmmakers the benefit of visualizing scenes and preparing for the filming process.

Storyboards are important in the pre-production process because they allow filmmakers to experiment with different visual approaches, identify potential problems, and make adjustments before the actual shooting begins, saving time and resources.
The basic steps of making a storyboard: identify the key scenes in the script, draw the key scenes, add images or sketches, and describe what happens in each frame.


Week 4 

The production stage can generally be divided into five distinct stages: development - pre-production - production - post-production - distribution (marketing). Three main stages:

Stage 1 - Pre-production: The planning stage of a film's production, where all the necessary preparations are made before filming begins. (Writing scripts, creating storyboards, casting actors, finding locations, designing sets and costumes, hiring crew).

Stage 2 - Production: Actual shooting. The production team worked together to capture all the shots needed, guided by planning and preparation during pre-production. This stage can be challenging as it involves coordinating a large team and managing complex schedules.

Stage 3 - Post-production: Edit the material and combine it into the final product. (Cut and arrange scenes, add music and sound effects, color grading, and visual effects). This is a time-consuming process, as it requires careful attention to detail and a keen eye for storytelling.

Main producers and their tasks:

1. Director, overseeing the entire production and ensuring that the creative vision of the project is realized.
2. Producer, responsible for logistical and financial aspects of production.
3. A cinematographer, also known as a director of photography (DP), is responsible for the visual aesthetics of a film.
4. Production designer, responsible for the overall visual design of the film, including scenery, costumes, props, etc.
5, sound designer, responsible for the audio aspects of the film, including recording and editing dialogue, sound effects, music, etc.
6. An editor who assembles material into a coherent and compelling story.

Color correction

Color correction refers to the process of each individual clip a video clip is altered to match multiple color temperatures iens appearance meets consistent technical standards.

Digital video coloring steps:

Create an image profile
Color correction lens
Color level lens

What are color tones?
Hue refers to the color itself. In the simplest terms, it's the difference between red and blue. Your hue can be changed by saturation and brightness, and once we give you a few paragraphs about hue, we'll cover them.

Hue, saturation, and brightness together are called "HSB". This combination forms the basic color focus of any video image.

Tones are not always vivid primary colors.

What is color saturation?
Saturation refers to the intensity of a color. This is determined by the amount of gray in the hue, ranging from pure gray to vivid colors.

Saturation is where you really make your color "pop," or, at the other end of the spectrum, become "cloudy." Believe it or not, this is all due to the amount of gray information in the color. Seems simple enough, right?

If you add pure white or pure black to the color, you'll get darker or brighter brightness values, which is our next category.

What is color saturation?

Saturation refers to the intensity of a color. This is determined by the amount of gray in the hue, ranging from pure gray to vivid colors.

What is color brightness?

Brightness refers to the brightness of your color. This makes the difference between Burgundy and candy apple.

1. White balance
White balance is the same in your camera as it is in your shader. It describes the color temperature of the image. Your white balance should be the first thing you do because it will affect every decision you make from then on.

2. You'll want to use ranges (waveforms, parades, histograms, vector mirrors) to give you some additional value color information that you didn't see initially. An oscilloscope is a monitoring tool that displays color and light information graphically so that you can see the precise balance of these features and how they compare to each other.

3. Curves help with accurate color correction and color grading, and you will need to pair them with your scope.

With curves, you can add points to drag colors to new values and change shadows, mids, and highlights in a more precise way.

4. Color matching Color matching allows you to select a reference image and then analyze and apply it to the target image.
This is an automatic calculation, so it is important to check your range and use your judgment on the quality of the color match.

5. Three-way color correctors are useful tools for many professional recreational colorists, but they have their advantages and disadvantages.

The three-way color corrector lets you use the color wheel to balance shadows, mediums, and highlights in your image. You can set the value, or use the control drag point to set the value according to the hue.

6. Color qualifiers Color qualifiers give you the opportunity to change a specific color or color range without changing the rest of the picture.

7. In the Da Vinci program, the color mask is called Power Windows. These work much like masks in Adobe Photoshop. You can specify a shape to isolate its color.

Reflection

Before taking the audio-visual production course, I did not know much about audio-visual production and did not have in-depth practical experience. I hope that through this course, I can not only master the basic theory of audio and video production, but also master practical skills, and improve my comprehensive production ability.
Course content includes webcam technology, lighting setup, recording and editing, and advanced production. We worked on many projects, from short film production to sound design, each of which gave me a deeper understanding of the complexities and technical requirements of audio and video production.
In the course project, I learned how to use professional cameras and recording equipment, understood the importance of lighting in video production, and learned basic advanced editing techniques.

Reflection
The group had a great time shooting an animation and had a great experience learning to shoot for the first time. I didn't know much about stop-motion animation before I took this course. During the study and group cooperation in this semester, I found stop-motion animation very interesting, and I really enjoyed shooting with the team members. If there are more opportunities, I will also be happy to participate in the group shooting process.

In Week 05, Mr Martin introduced us to Project 02, which will be divided into two parts, Part A: Production shooting video and part B :Instagram/Tik Tok video.


Tiktok video shooting
I shot the scene on the Thursday of week 8 (independent study week). My friends and I went to many places after class.


The theme I shoot through a song is to record a day in my life. I added some transition effects to each video transition. I fixed the subtitles and music to make sure they weren't affected when I edited the video.

Week 10 - Stop Motion Trial Shooting


During this week, we will conduct a stop-motion tracking shoot as preparation for our final project, i.e. a group of stop-motion videos created by individuals or individuals.

​In this exercise, first we need to focus on this Google group spreadsheet: the final project shot. Next, the team leader will organize the shoot and ask all members to prepare the materials for the supporting tea, the leader, the tripod, the installation of the stop-motion animation application, etc. Please follow the list provided by Mr. Martin.

In week 10, we had a stop-motion test shoot at E1.01 (Photo studio). Each scene will be shot twice, once with a DSLR camera and once with a smartphone (downloaded with the stop-motion animation app).

Proposal




My partner and I discussed the topic and prepared the materials needed to make the video. And then we split up one person to shoot and one person to edit. I was in charge of editing.

Final Project: Stop Motion





Reflection

I learned a lot from this stop-motion animation. It has not only enriched my skills and experience, but also made me more aware of my interests and potential. I look forward to applying the knowledge and experience learned more freely in future projects and creating more excellent works.
​Through this period of reflection, I am more confident to continue to explore and learn, and I believe that I can continue to progress and grow in the future creation.
