Commission: Finding and Meeting Animator


In my project I knew I needed to animate some pretty complex graphics, and knew it was something I was no expert in. However, this video I am creating for the studio is to be as professional as possible since they will be using it to show their clients their facilities. The difference between a perfect video and a good video could be the difference between content creators filming their or not. Videos are incredibly important to modern businesses as they show quickly and easily what a company is or does and their facilities. If Iw as to filming edit really well but my graphics/animation weren't of the same standard it would really show and stand out.

This is why I decided to get in touch with a student studying animation at UCA (University for the Creative Arts) who would have more of an idea on what he's doing than what I would. I asked Joe Warrilow who said he could help and would be interested in helping. He studies this in depth at university so would also be of benefit and interest to him.

I had my first meeting with Joe to discuss the project; I went through with him my commission treatment for the studios and the type of video it was. I wanted to go through this in detail so we were on the same page. I also showed him the brief and when going over my treatment showed him the design style for the exploded views of Studios 1 and 2.


Joe suggested that it would be a lot easier if we had a net view of the studios so we could take that into the animation software and work on it from there.
This animation would not jut be used in the promotional video but also the 20second video dedicated to the studios.

Me and Joe plan to make this graphic look aesthetically appealing without being too simple or too complicated. It would be a good idea to perhaps include the lighting, shape and size of the studio and the curtains so we have some detail. It will be a basic rotation of the studio space for both studios 1 and two. The graphic will be there to accompany the nice cinematic shots of the studio space.

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 ...
