Editing Short Cuts

Image
Friday 28th September 2018: Short cuts: space bar- play/pause arrow keys- forward/backwards z-undo x- c-cut/razor v-arrow +- -zoom in and out j-reverse k-play l-forward I/o- in and out backslash backspace-delete This is a screenshot of the premier pro editing scene we we're using in todays lesson.We looked at shortcuts to make things easier for us when we come to edit properly in the future, and we looked specifically today at cutting and importing footage. This is a screen grab of the timeline I was using. It shows both the audio and footage, as well as part of some of the clips that I used to make up the video. Some shortcuts that I use were: Space bar to play/pause C to cut the footage/audio V to use the select tool Backspace to delete Left and right arrows to move frames These all made it a lot easier to edit the footage I had as I didn't have to go round looking for the right button on the screen.

Audience Demographics

Friday 21st September 2018: Following on from our last lesson with Luke, we looked at audience demographics today and how it dictates who looks at a piece of media and why. A way of categorising advertising to audiences is through the use of demographics, which includes: Age Gender Education Class Household size/homeowner Marital status Occupation and income Looking at the film Django Unchained that I did an analysis on  here , I have thought more about the audience and who they may be. The poster indicates that this film would attract people over the age of 15, as thats what its been age rated as, and probably a more male dominated audience as its portrayed as a violent film which usually attracts more males than females.

Poster Creation

Thursday 20th September 2018: Today in Tony's lesson, we were given a task to create a poster of our choosing to test our research/editing skills. I decided to make a poster on the Broadway show "Hamilton" as it's something I have a lot of interest in and I think making a poster for it could be interesting. This is the official poster for "Hamilton", it shows the iconic star with Hamilton on top as a silhouette and a gold-ish painted background.

The bold lettering clearly stands out and although is simple, I like how all the co
