"There is no peace at the end of this, no matter what you believe"

Munich (2005)

About the Munich movie , its kinds of attacks and detective movies that based on a true story and presented really well on the screen , it evokes that early 1970's. There are nice camerawork and tempo ingenuity in the method of imparting tension to Munich, but one of the most important including sound design too.

Fig 4.3 First Attempt Lalin Exercise Video, 05/09/2022

During the first attempt, I realized there are few mistake I found, first of all it does not fit in a exact 30 seconds, next the sound effect that does feel pleasing and quite disturbing for some reason. So I do learn from mistakes and decided to give it some changes again.

Mr Martin suggest that we could add some background music , I choose this cinematic sad music which I think it could suit the mood and tone 
for Lalin.

Fig 6.2 Comparison Before & After , Week 7 (11/10/22)

I noticed there are quite amount of high exposure and less saturated in the original source video, I try my best by editing with using curve tools and try to match all the videos in a colour tone. Above are some scene that can show the comparison in colour correction. I adjusting a few of them in exposure and contrast.

Fig 10.2 Before and After Adjusting the frame, week 6 (28/09/22)

When editing the scene, I realize there were people at the back and the mic is included inside the video which looks unprofessional and distracting. I try to adjust it by double click and enlarge the scene.
