Commission: Notes of Ideas

Planning Maidstone studios

Planning Ideas  

Old television screen slow zoom into new logo graphic. Colours (purple, blue and yellow) all mix together and join up to create 'M'
This 'M' then zooms out of screen (3D effect in Adobe After Effects)
Move onto smooth entry of the studio reception. (Equipment: Sliders, Tripod and 4K Camera).

Heritage: SINCE 1979

Quad Split of various old shows playing.


Archive photos fade old studio from late 70s-early 80s into it currently.

Edit archive photos to look 3D and show depth
of field like in the photo to he right from a short film 'Joy Frank'. The male on the right fades away. The photo also has depth which is weird in an old photo as cameras wouldn't have had that capability then. Here is a rough example of what the pictures will fade to- Old to New. Possibly even have archive footage if there is any available.

Breakdown Map of Studios
Get in touch with animator from UCA to create.


Background Research:

History Of the Studios

Ask people that film there what they look for when looking to film in a location.

Cinematic shots of the coffee machine etc.

General Ideas:

Travelling to Location
ECU tracking a car wheel; train-station; London and maidstone signs

Ask someone that works at studio how it is travelling to and from London everyday- Web Designer.

Twist Transition- like whip cut

Drone, drone, drone
Map zoom to sky effect edit in Premier Pro.



Tracking show-smooth on the corridor walls with pictures of everything that has been filmed there


For each transition have it look quick cut and fast paste like modern television tuning.

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: Professional Practice Interviews

Image
During the summer, I was lucky enough to be asked to take part in a work experience programme being offered to by production company 'Bareska'. In this, myself and three others were given free rein of a professional client project. I was the Co-Producer/Director/editor. I agree to do this project as it was ad-hoc- so a project I was able to work around uni and work and was also a fantastic opportunity for me to practice for my third-year major project, even if I didn't end up doing a documentary. This was fantastic practice in pre-production, directing and just speaking with contributors about a secretive subject. The Symbolism Behind the Chair I wanted to make the chair the focal point t of this piece. I feel it adds story watching Ben walk into frame and the wide shot makes it seem as though he feels alone now he doesn't have his brother, The sun is beaming in which is very atmospheric and quite angelic.  With my roles for the major project, I am going to u...

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 ...
