Phantom of the opera

The intro starts off with the camera zooming from a candle on fire as it moves slowly into a moving painting in the year 1919 (paris) ; the camera comes from the top to show you the environment, it keeps going down to show you a more close up of the area, also the colors are in black and white they have picked them to create the affect of an old noir film. You could see that the streets are very dirty and windy also there are leafs on the floor and also in air the props and costumes that are being used are very good as they create the right atmosphere and make the film seem more realistic. Inside the auction house you can see it’s very dirty because there are spider webs and bats flying around to make the seem more creepy and that it’s an old place, you can see light entering the building from the top, with you hear the organ playing in the back ground and the flames emerge the movie changes in to color as if the fire colored in the movie it’s a very unique effect also it’s as if when the move changes back in time as the age of the auction house goes back in time to when it was brand new as all the spider webs are gone and the place looks new and all the items and turn new. The colors that are used for the costumes are very bright colors they match the exiting music.

Harry Potter Evaluation

I think that I did a pretty good job creating a sound track for the opening of harry potter, considering this attempt would be my first go at such a task. One of my main goals, and perhaps argued that it was one of the most important goals of this task, was that I tried my best to match the sound with the video to create the correct atmosphere, this implies the maturity and professionalization which makes the two blend with each other and set off just the correct visual and auditory information, that combine to give an amazing opening. In order to do this, I had to look at what the opening itself represented, what it connoted through to the audience, and what I gathered from that was a dark- almost vicious vibe that it was sending off. Henceforth, working from that I established the sounds I was going to use, in one way or another, would imply the darkness at the beginning of the opening, where it opens with darkness and impurity. However, as the opening continues, we see that there are some transitions that occur, throughout the process of the clip there are a few transitions that dictate the light, the purity. And hence this would be set up with sound clips that implied light. Finally, towards the end of the clip we see a redeeming, last few transitions that change from the ''light'' aspect back to the original dark theme, where I would then have to closely work in order to match the perfect sound clip with those specific parts in the video, each relating to one another based off the visual theme they want the audience to catch.

I think that that the sequence of relating sound clips that i created was very effective and efficient towards the main aspect of the opening, relating to the visual clips being showed at the time. A clear example for this would be when the playground scene started, I recognized it was hinting a sense of realism, and that's the vibe it wanted to send off to the audience. To match a sound with this, I tried to use very realistic sounds that would mix with the clip, further emphasizing on the realism point in which the clip was trying to send across. another example was when the thunder started. I realized based on my knowledge that thunder in itself is not a single sound, it's a roar- an epiphany, the sound of the anger coming from the skies. I wanted to send a chilling vibe, to really emphasize how dangerous and thrilling this thunder may be, and I did this by using more than 1 thunder sound effect to make it sound really load, the sounds mixed perfectly and really brought out the realistic danger that thunder carries. When you see Harry, him being of course the main protagonist, I had figured the audience would have the most connected emotional bond with him, using this to my advantage; when you saw this clip, you'd hear a calm and sad music, with a soothing tune to set a peaceful atmosphere. This, combined with the clip showing at the time, of Harry facing against the bullies and the deatheaters, wouldn't actually go so well together but because the audience knows what he's been through, it's a perfect match as it creates a sympathetic feeling towards Harry as he soon will be attacked by the deatheaters. for this part i would give my self 7/10.

For the first time using Garageband i think i did a good job at picking the correct sounds to match the extract, if i had to do this project again i would try my best to make the soundtrack completely match the extract, so i would give my Harry Potter Sequence 5/10 as i think i could of done a much better job if i knew how to use the program fully also i never got to finish the extract.

Harry Potter

This was my first time using garageband, I had to create a sound track for the opening of harry potter. the beginning we found the correct sounds to match the video later on we found it hard to making it match.

NAME: Manhal

1.

The camera starts by zooming in to the man, to clearly hear what he has to say. This also allows the audience to identify the charterer. In the background we see a car getting stolen which begins to start the action, the camera moves with the car and the man stealing it to show the fast pace movements of the thief. The camera follows the car as it moves to show the speed and the action.

2.


The camera looks up at the man as he is seen to be superior and the hero of this scene. He is shown to be moving a fast pace and pushing people out the way as they are less important, this shows he is more significant than the others. The audience are able to see the mans facial expressions and therefore able to read his emotions of panicking and anger. The camera is at a slight angle, and handheld and jumpy when looking at everyone else to emphasise the mayhem in the others around the man.
3.


This starts by dropping down from high level to a low level to show the action-taking place, the camera is tilted slightly to give a better angle for showing the location. When the characters are running we are able to see there feet to exaggerate the speed of them moving. The camera seems to always show the main man and we are always looking up to him this gives us a sense that he has power over the position. The camera shows parts of the car before as the man is setting off to allow the audience to understand what is currently happening and to feel part of the drama. Lastly the camera is right next to the tyre, as we are able to see how fast it moves to emphasise the speed.
4.


The camera is fixed inside the car, like a tracking shot on a mid shot, so the audience feel involved in the action-taking place. The next shot is a close up of the opponent so we are able to get a sense of what is going on. The camera pans down on the market to set the location and to let us know that the car has moved on to somewhere else. The camera cuts from the action coming towards with a straight cut to the action going away from us. There is now an increasing sense of tension. The camera is fixed to the back of the car to show the sense of speed and look realistic. We see a collision between cars as the camera changes from a mid shot to long shot so that it can clearly be viewed. The audience gain a better view of the action as they see more than then they could in real life, but not from an unrealistic viewpoint.
5.


A fixed low-level shot is used to emphasis the speed of the police cars. We are also shown the faces of three musicians to show there feelings towards what is happening around them so it seems more realistic and the audience can relate to the event. A tracking shot is shown to emphasis the feelings of a fast paced action. A jump shot it shown to show another perspective view of the action and mess.
6.


The camera is handheld and the movement is jumpy to seem like we are in actually involved in the drama. The camera zooms in and out quickly on the mans face to see his expressions and we are able to get sense of his authority.
7


A fixed angle shot begins this scene as a car comes in and jumps over the hill, this is clear in this shot and it emphasises the car chase. Handheld shot that is jumpy on the mans face gives an increasing sense of pace. Cutting between different types of shots gives us a good sense of where the location is and what is happening. A fixed ending shot with the cars driving past helps to add to the speed of the action.
8.


The scene shows a close up internal shot of one of the police cars. This is done on purpose to allow the audience to here what he has to say. This also allows the audience to realise his authority and sense his power. The shot then changes to a similar the other man and shows his facial expression. This makes it evident and the audience can make a clear link between the character’s conflict and sense the tension.
