the little beggar video

In the video of the Little Beggar, I was given a plain copy of the film that lasted 30 seconds, the video itself had no music or anything else on it. I had to rebuild the music and soundtrack from scratch. What I did is that I went on to 'youtube' to collect sounds like coins being rattled, scary footsteps as well (this was foley sound), when doing this task instead of doing this on Garageband I did it on Logic Pro, mainly because I find it easier to use when doing work like this. When I got all the sounds and then uploaded them up I had to automate them so there was a slight touch of reverb on the sounds and whilst automating them I managed to make the music in the background quiet so it didn't climb over the rest of the video and sounds, which would spoil and ruin all of my work, to make the reverb louder on my sounds I would have to mix it by either decreasing or increasing how much tone and reverb I want on it, and to do this I would go on to logic then go into mixer and then click on which sound I want to increase or decrease the reverb on. As well with the automation on Logic I used it to make the volume of the music quiet so it would be work on the track, plus I could make the music fade out, which is quite cool, at the end by picking the point I want to start the fade out and where the fade out should end.

van halen and the cradle will rock

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOkImTbOV_E&feature=related

This song is called "And the cradle will rock", and this song was created and performed by Van Halen for their third album "Women and children first". The song is their opening track on this 1980 album.

The convention that this video uses is live performance, this is because when the video begins it opens up to a live audience.

This screen shot gives the game away showing that it was performed live, when the song was performed live it would have been shown on music programme like top of the pops that were back in the 60's or 70's, or in this case in the 1980's.

This is an example of location due to it being set in rio.

This an example of candid / surprised shot.

convention photographs

This first photograph here shows a live shot. This is a live shot because of the way the guitar amp lights up, i know that this is a muck up because you can only see the light of the amp and nothing else but this is how some live shows are. They are very dark and all you can see is the light of an amp being lit up in the darkness.























These two photos show me with an electric guitar and the shots show a medium shot and really out of the 5 options that are candid or inserted shot, location shot etc, i don't think that it is any of these shots except for the medium shot but really i think that the only shot it could be is another live shot like the first photograph. But the photo that you can see on the left looks like a guitar rehearsal in there.


These two photos are classed as location shots mainly because they were shot in the same place and the only difference is the people who are in the photo, and the reason why they are location shots is because they were both shot in the same place at the exact same time.
