Directions Unit: Keeping my actors

After filming I decided to send a message to each of my actors thanking them for their help, which was very much appreciated. I was pleased to find them all respond back to me, and it appears they all enjoyed themselves filming, and would be happy to help me for any future projects I may have. This is great news, as every one of them performed brilliantly, and were very good people to work with.

Story Telling Unit-Camera Workshop 3: 180 degree rule

Image
In today's workshop we were split up into groups and given a one page script and asked to film two characters discussing the 180 degree rule . The key to this task was understanding this rule and applying it. The script was a very basic duologue; the two characters come together, sit down across from each other and have a small conversation until one leaves at the end after understanding the 180degree rule. I chose to have my version with an entrance of one of the characters who is late for a meeting regarding this rule. The dialogue then starts as he begins to explain the 180 degree rule. My idea was to have them both on 'oppersite' sides of the  table, which could have appeared more tense, until the character understands the rule, the tension is broken when the first character leaves. I also wanted to test this rule with the entrance of the first character. I really enjoyed this worksop and found it useful in learning and understanding the 180 degree rule. I di...

Pre-Production: Social Media Promotion

Image
Television series or documentaries don't typically have websites about them, this is something done more with films. However, I felt it was important to include it on our companies website briefly but have links to social media. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/evidencewithheld/ I decided to create a brief facebook page and a twitter page. These are two major platforms; I don't want to include an Instagram promotional page, as ideally, I would like to include advertising through Instagram pop-up ads which would appeal on peoples feeds. With encryption, what people like and the search will relate to the adverts that come up on their feeds, so people who are interested in Netflix, documentaries or crime and justice, this should come up as an advert. "77% agree with the statement "I wish there were a way to ad-filter instead of ad-block completely."(VIEO Design, 2018) It is so easy and useful with today's social media and technology to get your conten...

News Production: DIY Tech

Image
I am working in a group with Jack, Gavin and Simon and today we had a brainstorm after our unit briefing to find out what we could make a news channel on. We really liked one of the examples of the work of previous students who's target audience was students. We found this something that we could relate to ourselves so would be something we would be passionate about and take an interest in. Our first idea was to base it on university courses where students are made to pay for their own materials rather than the universities providing it. It was also about students taking courses in nursing and how there has been a significant drop in people choosing such courses as a result of the rise in uni fees and having their funds cut (previously the government would fund those degrees). For a segment of each episode I though it would be a good idea to do something more light-hearted too. We want it to engage our target audience of students by keeping it humorous and interesting without ...
