I think more special effects are needed to attract young audiences but we require a simpler video with less special effects to attract older audiences.
ReplyDeleteI also think it would also attract more audiences if it is not a narrative one.
The characters should also wear bright clothings to attract the young children and they should also speak in simpler means.

Sound effects are a must for a movie being able to attract someone. Without sound, the people watching the movie will be bored to death. Special effects are also okay as it adds like a 'seasoning' to the movie, making the movie more interesting to the people watching. However, some of the special effects are just too fake and too obvious to spot when we are watching a movie like a bomb exploding in front or behind the male or female lead. Afterall, all these effects are not natural, and the real sounds and real happenings of the movies are still the best so that the people watching it can trust this movie and rate it above 3 stars.

The creative elements i need to attract someone to want to watch the video production should be to do with real life as only then will it be deemed as realistic. It should not so fake that people will not be interested as it cannot be related to daily life. For example, school bells ringing or crickets chirping in the silence at night. I also think that we can use different elements of sound from different places that our target audience can relate to. We can also use special effects that will intepret the mood that we want to create in the audience. For example,we can use a black and white effect on the film so that people will know that we are trying to create a very depressing effect.

I think in order for people to watch my video, producing realistic video is very important. people would want to see what is happening in the real life as it reflects on what our society had became over time. doing a video based on what is happening n the real life will tell people that Family is really important and do cherish them when they are around before you regret. This will be the part that attracts people to watch the video as it will be very touching. This will also promote the fact that more people are having lesser time to spend with their family and serve as a reminder for people to create more time to spend all the happy hour with their Family.

I feel that sound and special effects is important to attract someone to watch my video production as they will feel that it is very attractive and interesting. The sound can be a conversation that makes the viewers wonder what is happening and they will watch the video. The special effects can make the show interesting and attractive. As there is all knds of special effect, some can be used to create signs to emphasis on certain scenes that are used for promoting "Family".

Creative sounds and effects such as the background sound of flashbacks can be used to attract people to watch our video production for the promotion of "Family".
These effects can be used because it helps the viewer to understand what the person in the video production is actually thinking and the viewer will also reflect on it. For example, the person in the video production is thinking on how he had let down his family and is reflecting upon it. The viewer might also reflect upon seeing the person in the video production reflecting upon himself. This can be able to let the viewers treasure their families more and hence be bonded closer.
I think that by adding sound and special effects, it engages the person .
ReplyDeleteThe person will start to watch the video and thus gets more interested in it .
By adding special effects, the video can be more interesting to watch .
They should also add in music as yound children and teenagers would like it .
I think that sound effects is the most important and is very necessary because the sound affects the mood of the viewer.If you play a sad song in a happy movie, most probably the viewer would become sad and the feeling would most probably be wrong because what you see does not really tally with what you see.So the video production of the "Family" would need to have sound effects to make sure that the viewers can feel what the emotion that the actors portray.
ReplyDeleteSpecial effects is also quite necessary because it attracts the attention and also make the video not too boring.

i think that sound effect and editing is very important for our group video.
ReplyDeletei think that editing is very important because our video is recorded by scenes.therefore we need the ulead to do our editing so our video will not be in pieces.there are also some parts where we accidentally record some unwanted sounds in the background.so we need ulead to edit and take away those unwanted sounds and put in necessary ones.
sound effect is also very important.i think that sound effect can affect the video a lot.appropriate sound effects can make the video more interesting.it will let you understand the feelings of the characters much better.

ReplyDeleteThere are many things of which I think is necessary to attract someone to watch my video production. One of them is to have special and sound effects so as to allow the video to be special, more interesting. It also makes the video production more unique as not a single movie can be exactly the same. For example, we can have the mysterious music to create a mysterious feeling. We can have different kinds of sound and special effects for each and every different scene as the feelings we want to create there may be diferent.

Some creative elements are: sound effects. Sound effects must be used to attract the attention of television watchers. This will make them interested to know what the video about. Scenes which depict famous actors or actresses will also invoke a feeling of interest in people. Special effects will improve the quality of the advertisement and can catch even more attention of people. other than that, how much the watcher enjoys the advert depends on his or her preference. The advertisement should depict things that are informational or involve things happen in that time's news.

I think that sound effects is necessary to attract someone to watch our video production for the promotion of "Family".There is conflict and conversations in our story and I think that sound is very important for the making of our video.Sound also affects the viewer's mood and emotions when they are watching the video.Special effects can be added into the video as well to make our video more interesting and attractive.
ReplyDeleteChua Siew Wen (5) 1/2
Some creative elements which think would attract viewers are sound, special effects ad a moral which will get everyone's attention. There should not be too much effects though as viewers will be too distracted by them and will not get the full meaning of the moral.And i also feel that there should be more effects at the start of commercial so as to attract the viewers and end with a bang.

We have to put some joyful songs to tell everyone the importance and joyfulness of family . If there is music, people will find it nicer and more interesting as music is RELAXING . We must concentrate on the main topic which is "Family" so that others will not be confused because if our main topic was "Family" and yet we concentrate on other things, the video would be very confusing . The video must also be realistic and suitable for all ages . Last but not least, it cannot be too complicated and the audience should be able to know the morale of the story after watching the video.
ReplyDeleteDarren (34)
I think that from my opinionthe special effects and sounds the decison of whether they are needed will depend on the setting of the video.For example,if you have a serious setting for the video,surely special effects that emphasizes on comi relief would not be needed.So the answer is that we have to choose appropiate effects,appropiate settings and appropiate sounds for the appropiate video.Nothing is for certain.Sowhatever that is put in the video have to be experimented with time and time again in order for us to get the exact impact that we want on the viewers.SO we ust have to keep trying

Sound and special effects are essential for someone to want to watch 'family'. The sound effects can help in creatng the conversations and other sounds that can help in creating some 'seasoning' to the video. The special effects can also create some suspense.
ReplyDeleteStoryline:
ReplyDelete- A creative storyline is important. However, the storyline should be realistic so that many people who watch it are able to relate it back to their own lives. This could make people gain interest in the video production.
Atmosphere:
- Emphasising on the atmosphere is important Things like songs could emphasise the mood of the place. This could also give a clue to the viewers of the video production on what is going on. A background song would also tell what is the intention of the video. The song or tune should compliment the theme of the video production, and in this case, "Family".

ReplyDeleteSounds and special effects are definitely important. Firstly, the background music or some sounds like crashing will attract the viewers'attention to what is happening in that video. Plus, if the background music suddenly changed, it would create a very powerful effect and it would attract the viewers to further down watch the video. Secondly, special effects will also create an impact on a certain scene. For example, the speed of a certain scene suddenly becomes slower. This may create different impact compared to when the speed is constant throughout the whole video. Effects such as black and white can also create a effect like flashback.

ReplyDeleteI think that creative elements like sound effects and background sound is needed to attract viewers. Without those sound effects, viewers will feel very boring watching the video. When it is at a very exciting part, without those background sounds, the viewers will not feel the excitement that is suppose to be. With those sound effects and background sounds, viewer will have more feeling of excitement and interest to the video. In the video production of 'Family', some flashbacks are also needed. This can let the viewer reflect on themselves and learn to treasure their family.

I think that we need to add special sound effects to make our video more interesting and look more real. Sounds and music will be able to enhance the show, or else it would be very dull as it would be muted. By adding music we can understand what the movie is trying to convey. Humor would also help to relieve their stress, comical movie is very welcomed to the public.
ReplyDeleteBrian Tee 1-2 (36)
I think that music that is applicable for the theme is needed as it can let the audience know the main story theme and also made the audience feels not so bored. Crops (e.g fake blood) are needed so the video can show what happened to a person.The plot is also important as if it is well written, people will then be attracted to watch the video.

I think that both sound effects and special effects are necessary to attract someone to want to watch my video production for the promotion of "Family".Sound effects are needed because when someone is not paying to my video production,maybe the sound effects can help bring their attention back to my video production.Sound effects can also help the audience to understand the characters 'feelings much more better.The special effects can help me make my video production more interesting and look more realistic so that many people would like to watch my movie production.I also think that the words used in the movie production must be understand by people from all ages.There is no point making a movie when it cannot be understand.

i think special effects are essential for a viedo to capture the attention of the viewers.A movie without any sound effect would be very dull as there would be no excitement, for example the video has reached the climax but there's no tense music so there seem to be something lacking.If the video production "family" has no special effects and music, it would be just like any other movie that might not captivate the viewers because there is no selling point that made it seem different from the other videos. Hence, for the video, perhaps at the point where they show the family's care and love, some touching and soothing music can be inserted to create an imapct, a deep impression in the viewers heart, to emphasize on the love.it can also let the viewers to reflect on their relationship with their family.It must also be simple so that people of all age group would understand and want to watch it.

ReplyDeleteI think creative elements (sound, special effects etc)are necessary. It can be used to capture the audience attention. It also add the effect to make the audience mesmerise by the show. It will be a success if the sound effects are in a movie that captured the attention of little kids. This allows young children to be 'advertisement'. Children will remember those creative element and may copy the some parts of the movie. They will keep repeating and it will be like a 'free advertisement' for the movie. Adding the sound effect and etc, can show the audience clearly what they really meant and to what extend (happy/sad). If those creative elements are excluded, the movie will be very dull and boring. Creative elements will make layers of meanings to the movie and thus this may let even teachers to be interested in it. It do not need to be very complicated as it may confused the audience. The production will be understand by all age groups. :)

Many special effects are like sound effects, they can actually be used to attract more audiences towards our movies. With some sound effects would make them pay more attention on our movies. Maybe we can compare a movie with sound effects and another one without any. The one with sound effects obviously would be able to get more audiences attention. Examples. We can actually insert a happy tune into the part where happy stuffs comes in. Many be for sad one, we can put a sad music into the part where the sad scene would com in.
ReplyDeleteUnlike the sound effects, I think the special effects would not stands out too much and it might be trying to move the audiences' attention into other places rather than the movie we are trying to show the audiences.It can be said in two ways, i think more good rather than bad. The special effects we might be using can be the word or the phrase being inserted into the movie scene or something else which might be affecting the movie. In my opinion, I think I would just leave the movie as original with some movie editing.
Some special can also be useful, like fast forward. It create some kind of feel that time had past very fast and example maybe from a few thousand years ago to now? We can use the fast forward method so as to achieve giving the audience a fast time movement feeling.
In overall,I think I would still use both of the effects even though special effects would have some disadvantages.

ReplyDeleteI think creative elements like sound effects are necessary to attract someone to want to watch the video production for the promotion of "Family". The sound effects allow the audience to be able to enhance the understanding of the story and they make the video production more lively and interesting. Music added at parts that have climax, shows the type of atmosphere it is creating. For example, touching scenes with slow, soft music and scary scenes with loud, horrifying and tense sounds and music. A movie without sound effects or special effects are very dull and boring like a person talking without making any sound/no voice.

I think creative elements such as sound indicating suspense and other special effects are needed to attract people to watch the video as it will stand out from the rest and make the video more smooth and fluent. Sounds in the background make it sound like there is happiness or sadness; without them the video would be dull and boring.
ReplyDeleteZenneth Lim Zen Wei (40)

Personally, I think that sounds and computer effects are very important as the different types of music put in the background will affect the whole atmosphere of the scene in the movie. For example, if we put the character stunned on the spot with thunder sound and lightning flashing in the background, it means that the character had gotten a great shock and was stupefied. Another case is that you can put a person kneeling onto the floor, sobbing with the surrounding in total darkness and a spotlight shining on her. Behind, will be accompany by sad song mean that the character is very sad etr.
ReplyDeleteSo in conclusion, a video with no sound and computer effects will be very boring and would not attract the viewers at all.

ReplyDeletei think that creative elements must be included in the video so as to capture the audiences attention.it also keeps the audiences in a suspense so that they will not watch the video half way and leave.sound effects should also be used to show whether the movie is going to be a sad or happy scene.but the sound effect have to match with the movie scene or it will not be interesting and people will know that this video is a fake video and will not trust the producer of this video anymore

I think that sounds and computer effects are essential as background music will help to set in the mood that the director plans to set in.
ReplyDeleteBackground music can also add suspense to the video and thus make the video more interesting to watch. If there is no background music, the video would be dull and boring.

In my opinion, I think that the special effects and the background music are the most important , as if there was no background music, the video would be very dull and boring as there is just pictures, and no music.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if there is good special effects inside, it can make the video really interesting and attractive, thus attracting the audience's attention very much.

i think that there should not be too much narration as this may distract viewers as there are too many sounds. there should also not be too much titles so that people do not get tired reading. There should be music but just enough so that people still can here the video's conversation
ReplyDeleteI think creative elements like sound effects and background music are important. Without them, the video would be very boring and dull. The background music also creates suspense to the story. With the music and sound effects, the video would be more exciting and interesting. This will enable the viewer to watch on.
ReplyDeleteNevertheless, a good and creative storyline is also important. However, the storyline should be realistic so that many people who watch it are able to relate it back to their own lives. This could make people gain interest in the video production.
Special effects are definitely important too. It will make the video attractive too.

I think that background music and special effects are necessary to attract someone to watch my video production for the promotion of "Family".
ReplyDeleteIf there is no background music, the video could not be able to bring out the feelings needed for the scene. Also the right choice of music is important. It is important as the wrong type of music will spoil the whole scene and bring out the wrong feelings needed for the scene.
Sound effects are a must for a video so as to attract someone. Without sound effects, the people watching the movie will be bored. It is important as it will show what type of scene the video is playing like flashback and others.

Sounds and special effects are really necessary. The sounds, for example music, will make the viewer know the emotions that the actor is feeling. If a sad song is being played, the viewers will know that the actor is in a sad condition maybe because the actor’s family member has died. If a cheerful song is being played, they will know that the actor is happy maybe because the actor has succeeded in doing something. Sounds also make the movie more interesting. If there is no sound, the viewers will get bored. For special effects, it makes the viewers attracted to it. Some special effects are also used to emphasise on certain scenes.
ReplyDeleteNurul Ain(14) 1-2
I think the way to attract the viewers' attention is to have a special favorite quote or movement for some characters of the video. Viewers will remember the video better because of these small little movements and quotes by the characters of the video. Some funny words spoken or actions by the characters may lead the viewer to be curious about it and will want to watch the video. For example, many people especially teenagers, know about the famous auntie lucy who always shakes her head very dramatically because of her habit. At first i did not watch her show, but due to many friends imitating her action. I became curious and decided to watch the show.
ReplyDeleteAnother creative element would be sound effects accompanying the characters actions. This creates some fun and not forgetting suspense that would cause some thrill within the viewers.
Without the creative elements the video would definitely be a sort of sleeping pill to the fellow viewers.

In my opinion , i think that by adding special sound effects will engage the viewers. If the video is all the same tone throughout the whole video , it would not be interesting and the viewer will not watch it anymore .
ReplyDeleteThe story line must also be nice and unpredictable . In this way , it makes the viewer thinks what will be going on afterwards . which also engages the viewer a lot .

Music is a form of entertainment for all of us. when there are music, we will be better attracted and will be totally engaged in the video.
ReplyDeleteMusic must be chosen according to the scene, for example, a sad scene must be companied by a sorrowful song.
Having a subtitle will be good. if the show is in Chinese, even other races will understand if there are english subtitle. sometimes, scene are noisy and we cannot hear what the characters are talking about, we can see the subtitle and still understand the storyline.

We can attract them by using scenes that are close to our hearts. We can use every day events to show that our parents love us. For example, they work hard every day for us, they cook for us, they cover our blankets over us when we are asleep and they nag at us. For us teenagers and children, this scene is dear to our hearts as they are things that our parents do unknowingly for us that we both do not notice. Simple messages such as this can portray a feeling of togetherness and allow the viewers to think about themselves and to come to the realisation that our parents are the ones who brought us up into this world. To know that they are the first one who love us and that they are the ones whom we would forever be grateful to.
ReplyDeleteLiew Yi Hang 31
We can attract others by including the different kind of shots in our video like, close shot, establishing shots which are taught in our art class. We can also use some real life examples to give the person the right impression and agrees on what we are telling them. The attire the actor or actress wore must also be related to the video . Some sound effects can be used in it to created more effect and leave a greater impression in one's mid when he/she watch our video and eventually able to get what we wanted to tell them.
