Maria T. Prep for monday

This week we have been looking on premier elements and i have edited trailer of Moulin Rouge. Ive learned how to use a lot of functions and editing features in this program. I learned how to change the sound, fade it in and out, edit titles and make them move in different ways, also how to apply different effects to the clips and add effects to the videos when they change to the next one. Also i learned how to make my own designs of graphics.

After watching the four movies in the class i had an idea how to make an introduction to a movie and the different technuiques which make it interresting. Also it was very usefull to see because i could obviously see the different genres of films and get an idea on what kind of film i would like to do for my course work. 'The Godfather' is not a new film so the technology is not as good as it could be now but still it is filmed very good. From the beginning we could tell that it was a film about mafia wars and it was in italy. There was only 2 shots- wide shot and mid shot. The editing was done well. We felt the hotness of the weather by the colour of the scene and the sounds of hot dry weather. There was an introduction written with words to get us understanding what happened in the previous film. 'Moulin Rouge' was introduced to us in a very affective way. The music and the costumes were very effective.
