Corporate Promo- Extra Work

Schedule- 

- Firstly I will be evaluating the location, experimenting with sound, and experimenting with camera angles, and in which rooms looks most professional down to lighting and background.

-On my second day I prepared interview questions etc. and arranged timings for interviews the following week, which included getting permission from parents to interview their children.

-On my next day of corporate promo I stayed at Leigh Tutoring all day so I could film it in its natural environment, I sat in on classes and got some very useful footage. I also interviewed all teachers, and a select group of pupils.

-I then went into the editing stage, I wanted my piece to look professional, and spent a while adding text and effects to give all the information needed in the video.

-Finally I exported to the promo and sent it to my client.

Shot list- 

Medium shot- interviewing stage. Face on shot, looked simple yet professional. Since the video is just about giving information there was no need for experimenting with close ups etc.

Birds eye view- A higher view of the class, so that it gives a full picture of the class and the setup.

Tracking shot- shot going along all pupils hard at work in the classroom.

Equipment list-  

Shotgun microphone- Microphone good for interview use because it directs the sound in one place.

Sony Z5- Good quality camera giving a professional look.

Ident case study

IDENT CASE STUDY

The purpose of TV idents is to create a strong channel identity. So people instantly connect certain colours, styles, and effects, with your channel. The decisions on what you want your channel to project, should depend on the programmes it plays, and the audience who would want to watch these programmes. 

For example, if you were going to create an ident for a kids channel, you would have to create something that would visually grab a kids attention. An ident which does this is:

CBBC 'splat' ident:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04amc2r2DKA

The creators of this ident know that kids find slapstick violence hilarious, and have used it along with bright colours. Green and orange, which is now, to the watchers as the programmes colours. And the 'blob' character itself, is in ALL cbbc idents, a likeable character for children.  It is a 2d animation, as long as the character and colours are visually appealing to children, there is no need to create something especially detailed with its animation.

If a channel plays programmes which are typically aimed at adolescents, its more of a task to get a balance between seeming too young, or too adult. But E4 took a new approach, and appealed to adolescents interest for creativity.

This ident is very recognised for its creativity, flare, and standard of animation. This ident is 3d animation, it is 3d since we can see around the objects on screen, rather them being flat. This is made possible by using an X, Y and Z axis. It is made up of alpha channels, so each of the objects the chair, the trees ect. are created in photoshop can be all seen and put together.

This ident is only made up of 3 layers, the footage of the beach, the pulsations animation and the logo. The footage is the bottom layer so everything else will be put ontop of it, the circles could have been created through using scale, and the logo comes towards the screen by using scale also. The blur is created through adjusting opacity. This used 2d animation, since the logo is flat.

Proposal- Jasmine Trailer

My goal is to catch peoples attention through giving them an exclusive sneak peak of my video before premiering it. The trailer will show, (through short inserts) each scene. Hopefully catching the audiences attention and making them go actually want to go and view my video. I used after effects to add text, first text states the artist and song, then 'directed by Molly Noble'. And 'Noble Productions' stays in the corner throughout the trailer.

Jasmine Trailer- Breakdown

I edited my footage in final cut. The first shot I overlaid two shots together to create that effect. And also, colour corrected each to achieve the dreamy look I was going for. I also added a blur, and adjusted it to the right scale. I used an overlay of 3 clips of the second clip, and adjusted the light with an effect to make them gleam more. On the next few clips I used the effect 'Bad TV' to create the homemade video look. I played around with speed, using reverse and changing the speed to make the clip go quicker or slower. To create my trailer I first selected the clips I wanted to use from my film, and cut it together. I then added text, through after effects. And added the effect 'text bitter' then added more text and used the effect 'fade on'.

STORYLINE- 

      My film is about a boy mourning the death of his girlfriend, holding onto the only connection he has left with her, his dreams. The film will portray how the mind which you dream in interprets memories. Each location will shoot the protagonist, the girlfriend, twice. Once using a camcorder (home footage) juxtaposed with footage from a HD camera (dream sequence). The home footage will be the memories he has of her, in everyday life. Contrasted with his minds manipulation of her character. For example one memory scene is set with the girl in the bath, she leans over the side and looks up at her boyfriend as he brushes his teeth. It will then cut to the dream where the girl is still in the bath but this time covered in red rose petals (also symbolic of death). As the girl has died almost all of the dream sequences will incorporate death, mostly through the use of props. Another dream sequence will be the girl surround by candles, commonly when someone young dies their friends and family join and each bring a lit candle. 

   

      Throughout the video the boy loses control of his dreams. Therefore losing his control of holding on to her. The lyrics repeat "be my dream come true, just play my game come true" As if a demand onto her to stay with him, she will eventually walk out of each scene to show you have no control over your dreams. And will fade from the memory sequences, to show her death.
