Vectorscope, Yc Waveform and RGB Parade

Vectorscope




A Vectorscope is a circular chart that shows the videos chrominace information. The saturation of the video is measured from the centre, the further away the line is from the centre the more saturated the video is.

YC Waveform















YC Waveform is a graph that shows the signal intensity of the video clip. On the YC Waveform it displays luminance information as a bright green waveform. Luminance levels range from 7.5 to 100 IRE. It also displays chrominance as a blue waveform, the chrominance level is overlaid on the luminance level.

RGB Parade















The RGB displays waveforms showing the levels of red, green and blue levels in the clip, the more the levels are the equal the more balanced the colours are in the video, the levels are measured using a scale between 0 to 100.

Continuity Editing,180 Rule,Eye Line Match, Match-on-Action

Continuity Editing
This is my understanding of continuity editing, It is a process used in films when shooting the same scene again but with the camera at a different position or angle. When shooting the scene again they have to make sure that the set props and costume match from the previous scene if they don't this is something called continuity error, and can really ruin the scene for the viewer and takes the viewer away from the film felling realistic.

180 Degree Rule
The 180 degree rule is a camera angle that centers around two character. When using the 180 degree rule you create a imaginary line in between the two characters. This line is called the axis while shooting you must keep the camera on one side of the axis line while focusing on the characters, if you go over the imaginary axis this can disorientate the viewer and confuse them and lose the sense of whats happening and when the scene is happening. When the camera crosses the axis this is called jumping the line or crossing the line.

Eyeline Match
Eyeline match is a technique usually when the camera is focused on try character looking at something off-screen or talking to someone off-screen, then with the next camera shot the show the viewer what the character was looking at or talking to and they make sure that when the two clips are put together that the eye line actually meet, If not this can really ruin the scene for the viewer.

Match-On-Action
Is a technique used when you have a continuous action scene like a chase but you use different camera angle through out it, and make sure that all the clips blend together and flow fluently if not this can really ruin the scene for the viewer and look really bad and make the scene make no sense.

D day With Mobas


Just by looking at the home page of the Mobas website you can tell see that they work big companies and you can just about tell that Mobas are a branding agency that they design and promote companies that they are employed by, and to market the company for new customers.


Yesterday for D day we had to choose a shop to market on the internet and to use a lot of promoting on social media and being more interactive with the customers through social media. Are group decided to do a fancy dress shop called Fancy Pants. Yesterday was slightly better than what I was expecting, I really enjoyed designing the app pages and webpages for Fancy Pants even though I really hated doing GCSE Graphics I wasn't expecting do enjoy yesterday as much as i did but i was relieved when it was all over, but it was helpful to learn about how companies promote their business online and through social media. To improve on what I did yesterday I should of kept the same design for the webpage and app page so the look similar that the actually did and be more neat in the designs I did

Breaking Bad Sketch


This is my favourite piece of work I have done so far in Media. I did it by opening up the Breaking Bad seson 3 poster and sketching over it using the brush tool and setting it to pen presure jitter meaning that It would adjust the stroke of the brush on how hard I pushed down on the wacom. I like how it looks like that I actually sketched the drawing by hand when I hadnt, and I would like to try this technique again with several different images, espically tv and movie posters.
