Reading film stills:

Carried out denotative and connotative reading exercises with the films stills from The Trial and Sully in manual 

Introduction to post production techniques 
  1. Picture editing – begin examining the daily rushes - develop an EDL (Edit Decision List) cutting the film manner most advantageous to the story.
  2. Sound editing — ADR (Automated Digital Replacement – actors record dialogue in the studio) and Foley artists - https://www.studiobinder.com/blog/what-is-post-production/
  3. Add musical score
  4. Sound mixing (layers blended)
  5. Visual effects
  6. Color correction – HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) – this is relevant in film still analysis as well – you can see how saturation and brightness were “manipulated in the hearing still from Sully)
  7. set up the credits etc
Looked particuarly at:
1. how director set up EDL choices
2 how sounds effects are produced and blended
3, colour correction.
4 setting up of the credits
And discussed how these influence meaning making on the part of the audience.
Looked at the first 4 minutes of The Talented Mr. Ripley and illustrated how this introduces all the plot twists that will develop throughout the film.
