After Effects Colour Finesse

Clip 1.
The picture quality looked almost to be perfect until we put the clip into a programme on after effects called 'colour finesse' then we were told to go into a certain menu where there are sliders for the videos Gamma, Pedestal and Gain. when they were all perfect and in place you could see the difference from the original to the edited version.

Clip 2.
The next clip looked very blue so were shown that you could change not just the whole images gamma, pedestal and gain but you could change them all individually for the red, green and blue channels. So all we had to do as change the blue gamma, pedestal and gain to match the red and the green, after this we just did what we did with the first clip.

Clip 3.
The last clip that we had to do was a little yellow looking and all the RGB sliders were everywhere so first we had to get all of the RGB's gamma, pedestal and gain in the correct place so it was less yellow and more of an enhanced picture colour, then we just change the main gamma, pedestal and gain so that it looks professional.

After Effects lesson 2

This is our second lesson of after effects this is what we made. 

After Effects lesson 1

This was what we created in our first after effects lesson after we learnt the following.

First of all we started by opening up after effects, the when the interface loaded we learnt what the basic buttons where such as selection tool, hand tool, horizontal type tool and new composition button. the we were told to import some footage by going to file > import > file, and then we choose what files we wanted, they then show up inside the project tab. Before then putting the footage or elements onto the timeline you have to drag the first piece of footage from the project tab onto the new composition button. this will create a new composition with your piece of footage already inside of it, we know this because it is on the timeline. Now we can just drag and drop onto the timeline with any footage from the project tab. with all the layers on the timeline in place we can now arrange them by moving them up or below each other, this determines what you see in order so if we have a back ground and a man as two separate layers you would put the man layer above the background so he is visible.
To change the position of something within the sequence we learnt that you have to go into the layer and click the keyframe button next to position and then move the current time indicator forward in time and then change the value on position it will automatically set a keyframe and when you ram preview it by pressing "0" key is will render it so you can watch the position of the object move. You can customise the workspace to the right of the interface by changing to the drop down menu at the top right of the screen so you can choose from effects, motion tracking and more.

The Audience

Audiences listen to the soundtrack in films and tv in so many different ways nowadays because of mobile devices, cinema, home entertainment systems, pirate films, streaming and many more. obviously the best way to listen to a soundtrack is in the cinema. The reason for cinemas being the best for listening to the soundtrack is that cinemas are set up perfectly so that the sound is delivered to the audience just the way the director wanted, this is because the walls are padded so there is no echoing of sound which makes it sound crisp, also where the speakers are placed has a big impact to making it sound like certain sounds are coming from certain areas, which makes you feel like you are in that environment.

The Sounds

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26_f1jAI5Pk

In the first 30 seconds of the clip there are lots of sounds and noises going on, in the first 2 seconds of the clip we can hear some music playing which would have been recorded inside a studio because it would have been ridiculous trying to record it on set. The noise of the crashing and banging on the wooden door could have been recorded on set for a real sounding crash or could have been done with foley as well because they could have created just as good of a sound in post recording. The shouting from the orcs would have been pre recorded and added to the sequence in editing.
