Looking at Briefs

We were presented with 14 different briefs and we were told to look at the briefs and select at least three. We all looked at the briefs on our own and then decided we would come back as a group and discuss the briefs.

The briefs I selected where
1) A promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video.
2) A promotion package for a new film, to include a trailer.
4) A promotion package for a new computer/video game to include two TV advertisements.

I have selected these three because I think these would be the more easier to do out of the 14 due to the resources and the equipment.

Finished Prelimb task

This is our finished pre limb product.

Editing

After we filmed our piece we had to begin editing we used the software iMovie to add in our editing work. We looked at different effects and decided what effects would look good with the different effects. We also looked at the different motions and applied one that showed the water being thrown back into the bucket rather than onto Will. We also had to add the music over the shots but because we didn't use the opening 25 seconds of the song we had to cut down the song.

Filming

Before we began filming we had to deign our storyboards so we could plan where we were going to be placing our shots. We had to plan where our shots were going to be taking place. Our different locations were around the school, we chose the hall, outside the hall and then in the entry by school. We used different camera angles such as close ups, mid shots and an over the shoulder shot. We also used different props such as red dye, a bucket, a lighter and a jacket. 

Looking at short movies

We decided to go with making a short music video. We looking at different songs we chose two in particular that we looked and used for the piece. We looked at several videos but these two where the best for what we wanted to create. The first one was the one that influenced our piece. The second one was what influenced the editing and the different motions we added later on.

Pre Limb task

Our task was to make a short movie based on a real media product such as a a film trailer, music video etc. We then decided on groups and group roles.
My group was Will, Jason and Chereece. We were all assigned different roles. I was given the role of the director, Will was an actor in the piece and also in charge of making sure we had the correct props. Jason filmed the majority of the piece but he was also in certain points of the piece so Will would take over the camera. Chereece also appeared in the piece and she was also in charge of making sure we had all the correct props.
