Transitions: Website Designing

For this unit one of the submission requirements was to create a website where our final cut and key development research and journey is showcased. Wanting our website to represent the TV show The Wrong Mans and the final cut as closely as possible I have created a website on Wix.com that I believe relates and represents the TV show as much as possible. Instead of signing up to my own Wix account Jack already had an account with Wix.com, so using Jacks account which he sent me the details over I started to created our website. But before designing the layout I  wanted to research into The Wrong Mans and the key graphical elements they use so I can get a better understanding on how I can make our website represent the show as much as possible, for example a key element I noticed in both the show and posters is the colour grey. The colour grey is used through the TV show and promotional advertisement such as their poster as this represents that both Phil and Sam have dull boring jobs (office workers) but within this grey tone there is a lot of action such as explosions which is also seen in both the show and their posters. This shows that even though they have  boring jobs and boring uninteresting life before the events that happened in the show, their life has changed from boring office workers to two uninteresting people now facing danger. To incorporate the research I have found I decided to have the background of the website grey to represent the dullness of their jobs, but I found that having the title of the show at the top and just a grey background was to plain and didn't represent the show in the way I was trying to so I decided to add a transparent graphic of a fire explosion at the bottom of the page. By having both a grey background and a fire graphic the website now looks like it is representing and relates to the show.

Key elements:

Home Page- For the home page of our website I wanted to keep it simple with not to much information, so I decided that the home page was where I put the final cut video with information about the show. I also added a slide show that has both posters that I have created. 

Development research and progress- As a requirement for this unit was to submit a website that has both our final cut and our development, I have created pages and subpages that feature a blog format where we have put relatable posts from our individual blog in the correct page and heading, so the website is easy to understand and navigate.

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 ...
