Movies in the Future

When looking at the future of this business you really should think about what the future does hold. The future of films is changing. Films are going into digital when means everything is going to digital. So it will no longer be film, its going to be just call movies. Movies now can be downloaded at the movie theaters and be kept on a hard drive. This is both a good and bad thing. Theaters will much safer now. Film being super flammable, will not be in the theater. The bad things about not using film anymore is the lost of jobs, and the lost of an art.

Tips with Editing Software

OK guys. Some people have been asking me about some of my secrets about how I make my videos look like movie quality. There are two easy steps to get you on your way. These steps are super easy and they take less than 2 minutes to do. First of all, when you start you’re editing project; put your fps (frames per second) to NTSC DV 24p (720x480, 23.976 fps). The pixels at this point really doesn’t matter, and if you are wanting wide screen the just do the same format but choose the widescreen format. All that really matters at this point is the 23.976 fps. It’s the standard for all movie companies. This will help you with the look of the video, but it’s not all you need to do. You should also use color corrector and secondary color corrector. These are both important to make your images pop. If used remember, you lose the color red when you record. It dulls out and it is not as vibrant as it should be.  Red will be most needed color to be put back into the video, then green and finally blue. All these things are important, but the most important is red.  When doing this you will have to play around with what color look best suits you and your audience. 

Notice the difference. The greens are greener and the red clay comes out better. The sky is a bit more crisper. This is just images that I found on the internet. I took like 1 minute to look and fix this. You can do the same, but be sure to take your time. As you can see it is a bit over colored, but I did that to show you the effect of what could be done. 

I hope this all helps you out in your future video quests.

Desire

-->

This week I am not going to review anything. I feel that I should remind people more about the desire of being in either film or radio. I want you to remember that both media's do make the world turn. I remember when I decided to go to college and take broadcasting. I wanted to be a radio DJ. My first semester I took video class instead of an audio class because I knew that I would like the audio more and wanted to get the video aspects out of the way. After one semester of video I was hooked on it and did better in video classes than in audio classes. The reason was desire. When you love something in this medium do it, and don’t take no for an answer. 

                There is a reason why you like film or radio, find out what it is, or if you already know, hold on to it. These things will be your legacy throughout your life. Hopefully it will be your driving force behind to continue and do better for yourselves. For your own sakes, don’t do anything half way, and make sure that you are truly happy with the project that you have done.  That will be the key to success, your happiness. Even if you make a full length picture, a radio show, a 20 second video, or record one song, no matter who does or doesn’t like it, be sure that you do.

Keep dreaming in Dreamland
