Pleasntville Effect


In today's lesson we learnt how to do the Pleasantville effect and how it works well in video's. This particular effect makes one color stand out specifically having a strong attention to it. Once this is in place, the color that you have chosen to stand out will instantly be the brighter one in the video. This was achieved by the Color Correction 3 way effect. In this particular video we wanted the yellow sheet of paper to stand out.

Cloning effect


In today's lesson we created a project on FCP (Final Cut Pro) involving the cloning effect. Above you will see how I put the effect into good use. I play the role of talking to my twin about life. How all this was achieved, I recorded myself on the left side of the room at first asking the other me (opposite side) how is everything life etc. Then I did the exact same on the other side. I had to make sure everything was perfectly matched, this included matching eye level. Once both clips were recorded I imported both on FCP and overlapped them with each other. In order for me to see my other half I would have to use the crop tool so seeing I recorded myself on the left first I had to make myself appear on the right I done this by using the right slider on the crop tool option and there I had the other side appear making sure they were in the center and neither body or shadow is crossing or the cloning effect will not look realistic enough.

In camera editing evaluation

During our lesson today we put together a short project in which we created a storyboard and by following this we recorded and captured every shot we wanted to include in our filming. Our storyboard consisted of several different shots from wide shots to extreme close ups. The use of the different shots put together created a short film. In camera editing means editing is being taken place during the filming, in other words you need to film only the precise shots you want in the correct order and for the desired length of time.

Scratch disk setup tutorial


To create a Bin you right click on the browser and click on new bin once you have done that you screen will look like this:


What is a logging bin? The logging bin is the default folder that is used to store video clips captured from a DV camcorder, deck or other capture device. By default, the logging bin is the project itself; however, you can easily create a new logging bin or assign any other folder on your computer as the logging bin. Whenever you create a new project in Final Cut Pro, the program automatically creates a new logging bin in the project file that is created. In this way Final Cut Pro helps ensure that your media remains managed and well organized.
