Summary of the rotation stage

I have been learning Digital Photography, Animation, Sound Design and Broadcast (Film) in eight weeks, which is two weeks on each subject. I was the most familiar with Digital Photography before this rotation stage. However, I learned more about natural and artificial lighting, principles and elements of photography and composition.

Now I also have a knowledge of how Animation is been made. I've been using I Stop Motion software to produce our final animation projects. Drawing skill is essential on this stage. The most incredible thing about animation is transitions from one scene to another. In any other stage you could not show such a creative way to move from one action into another.

For a Sound design I've been using Soundtrack Pro software for mixing and mastering our final audio pieces. This subject I found it quiet difficult for me as you need to think how to make and record particular sound which later you need to apply for completely different action. Also there are plenty of clichés in film sound, which we learned how to recognise and brake them or at least try to do it.

The last subject I found the most interesting for me as you combine all subjects together. Digital photography (cinematography for a film), transitions between the scenes, sound mastering for a film and overall storytelling. Story is the key for a movie and it is the hardest and longest stage of making a movie.

I had an incredible and the most valuable experience in all of those stages.
