Shooting Extreme Video for Profit by H.Wolfgang Porter and Jackson Wong

This article taught me a few things on how to film an action scene and also how to sell it properly and gather a profit off of the video. Using the right equipment to film is a definite must because if you don’t it could prove catastrophic for the Filmer by getting in the way or you could get a very bad film. Go-Pros are used by many action movement filmers because it is covered in a plastic casing and has good quality picture, along with the fact that it can attach to helmets and other objects. Before you go out and film , make sure you have an insurance policy for both yourself and the camera because it could always go terribly wrong and someone or something could get hurt and the policy will allow you to pay for it. This taught me how to be safe and how to know the difference between my products of filming. I could use this information when filming my action piece so that is will come of good and not be a hassle.

Music Libraries by Dave Sniadak June 2012

This Article talks to us about how music helps us shaped the film or object into a better idea of what the creator was trying to create. Music has been used in many films. Some use music from Itunes and have to fill out a copyright form to use it but others create their own music with some people and they only have to get a form from the makers which could be them since they created it, making it easier. Music can be used to add suspense to a film, bring tears to the crowd during a drama, or add intensity during a fight scene. Music companies usually help with larger films to get the copyright signed by the creator. This will help me learn to get copyrights for my music so i do not get in trouble with the law. Along with that, this will teach me to use the right music for the right mood that you are trying to set for your film. I can apply this in my movie trailer to help add suspense to the mood of the film.
