1. One Point Perspective
2. From Above camera movement
3. Centered Camera composition
4. Dutch Tilt movement
5. Dolly Shot movement

Reflection
Doing this project was fun because it was my first time actually filming videos that require cinematic approaches that are used by successful film makers. It was a bit hard to keep up with the deadline because it was hard to pick the right shot and we had to re –shoot some stuff a couple times because we would always mess it up by laughing. My favorite shot is the panning shot because it was so clear and it looked cool. It was easy to come up with ideas on how to shoot the scenes because my partner and I always thought of the same thing and we would agree right away. The only thing that I would change was the tripod because we would always spend a lot of time on setting up the camera on the tripod.
 
 
Activity 2- Time lapse
About Time-lapse: Time-lapse is like a fast forward for reality; it allows you to observe things happening faster than they actually occur. Time-lapse helps us understand the world by visually showing changes that we cannot normally perceive. You could sit for several days in the same place and watch a flower bloom. But the change happens so slowly that you could not mentally compare one state of the flower to the next. The human visual system is designed to detect change. Our eyes and minds can perceive complex changes in a scene better than any instrument or computer system. But it functions only at a certain speed and timescale. Time-lapse allows us to tune the speed of change to the speed that our own eyes and mind can best understand and appreciate.
How Time-lapse Works: We will use the term “movies” (things that move) to refer to both film and video. Movie cameras actually record a series of still images, called frames. From 18 to 60 frames are recorded per second, depending on the movie format. These still images are then played back at the same rate. The human eye perceives this rapid series of images as actual motion. Consider a movie in the cinema which is normally recorded at 24 frames per second. You could create a time-lapse by recording one frame every second. When you play the movie, the frames recorded over a period of 24 seconds are played back in one second. So the recorded scene moves 24 times as fast as the real scene.

Time-lapse movies are created by recording frames more slowly. The frames are then played back at the normal rate. One hour of recording would play back in (60/24 = ) 2.5 minutes.

Activity 3- Foley Art
I have chosen to do the Mean Girls trailer because this movie has influenced how teens today think. This movie was a box office success, grossing over $129. The also recieved positive reviews and has developed a "cult following". This trailer includes animal noises, guitar, and mostly narration from a girl. I like this trailer because its really funny from start to finish and it would be nice to imagine them saying something different if it was dubbed. 
 
 
Foley is the art of reproducing and creating sounds for film. It was started by a true O.G. of sound, Jack Foley, in the roaring 20′s. He projected a movie onto a screen while he and his team recreated the ambient sounds in the movie that the microphones didn’t pick up during filming. The sounds were recorded onto one single track. Check out this example by Nick where a silent film is given a whole soundtrack via live performance.
The art form has advanced considerably with the advent of multi-track recording. Modern foley artists can record multiple sounds in a studio and blend them together to make a complex auditory experience. Gary Hecker, professional foley artist, explains and demonstrates this process in this video by Michael Coleman.

Songs by:
Little Mix- Word Up
One Direction- Best Song Ever
 
I like this mashup because the words blend in really well will the audio and you would think that's the original song if you havent heard bothe songs separately.
Proposal
I am planning to do a Taylor Swift mashup because she usually has the same sound and it looks likes it will sound good if I mash up her songs. Since I am doing a mash up of audio files, I might just use the green screen as the video part of my project. The songs I am going to use are:
 
-Back To December
-Ours
-You Belong With Me
-Red
-Mean
-Mine
-Love Story
-Fifteen
-Everything Has Changed
-Enchanted
-Eyes Open
-22 
-I Knew You Were Trouble
Mash-up
A digital mash-up is defined as: Digital media content containing any or all of text, graphics, audio, video and animation drawn from pre-existing sources, to create a new derivative work. Digital text mash-ups like the comedic mash-up, The Art of War Against Fat, appear by the thousands every day as users of blogs and online forums copy and paste digital text in juxtaposition to comment on topics of interest. Digital mash-ups represent a new phase in the re-use of existing works not so much conceptually as in ease of use. The creation of digital media formats such as ASCII text, Redbook audio, JPEG images and MPEG video has made it far easier for potential mash-up creators to create derivative works than was the case in the past, when significant technical equipment and knowledge was required to manipulate analog content. A major contributing factor to the spread of digital mash-ups is of course the World Wide Web, which provides channels both for acquiring source material and for distributing derivative works, both often at negligible cost. Current widespread practices of creating digital mash-ups have raised significant questions of intellectual property and copyright, which have been addressed by Lawrence Lessig, among others. While questioning the law, mash-ups are also questioning the very act of creation. Are the artists creating when they use other individuals’ work? How will artists prove their creative input?

A video mash-up (also written as video mash-up) is the combination of multiple sources of video—which usually have no relation with each other—into a derivative work, often lampooning its component sources or another text. Many mash-up videos are humorous movie trailer parodies, a later genre of mash-ups gaining much popularity. To the extent that mash-ups are ‘transformative’ of original content, they may find protection from copyright claims under the “fair use” doctrine of copyright law
