  Foley Sond Video

  Theses are my story board plans for my sound design project. I made these in order to give me an idea of things i can do to achieve the sounds I want. I went through each of the major scene in which the sound changed drastically I also timed how long each scene lasted so I knew how long each sound clip had to be in order to get the perfect fit. 

  Camera Haircut using close up angles with a pull focus allows for a very effective out come which entices the viewer to watch more of the video This is another close up shot which shows detail within the shot This is an extreme close up shot which shows immense detail  This is another example of the extreme close up shot This is a retake of the previous close up shot This is an example of the close up shot being used to show the equipment used and then showing the haircut. This is a mid shot showing the hair cut taking place. The purpose of the cutaway is to hide any mistakes that may have been made while shooting a shot they are also used to make scenes more interesting by adding fresh content to make scenes more appealing to the audience therefore making them watch the video for longer without being board of the same scene. Cutaways are also effective with showing the viewer more information and helping them visualise what information is being read to them. This is particu...

  Here is my video which utilises a green screen combined with an ultra key which allows me to replace the background of the video for dramatic effect. This is used in order to make custom backgrounds and to engage the viewers to grab their attention. 

Here is my video which utilises a lens flare effect in order to engage the audience even more. I used the lens flare effect in Premier Pro and used key frames in order to track the sun as it goes down and also to get it to decrease in brightness as the sun fades below the horizon. I sourced the video from pexels.com and imported it into premier pro. I found the effect by searching in the effects tabs for "Lens Flare" and then simply dragged and dropped it onto the video and configured it to suit the video and the actions.

  Mind Hunter  Today I will be analysing the opening sequence from the Netflix series Mind Hunter. I will be discussing Camera angles, Editing techniques and sound design.  From watching the trailer through numerous times I can see that there is many dead bodies a tape recorder and a microphone. These all have their hidden meanings such as multiple dead bodies can draw a link to a serial killer so we can guess that this is going to be about a serial killer. The Tape recorder can draw links to a confession or maybe an interrogation that is about to take place, when used in conjunction with the microphone that we see, we can infer that someone is going to be talking and being recorded possibly the killer themselves.  The camera angles in this trailer don't really change. There is a lot of close up shots of the items we can see, this could be to show as much detail in the shot and to reduce the amount of dead space in order to focus the viewers attention on the item in ...

    Trailer Research Before making my trailer for "The walk" I decided to do some research on already existing trailers, one trailer in particular was the trailer for The Martian ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej3ioOneTy8) this trailer peaked my interests as it consisted of a lot of action packed scenes and showed this very well in the trailer. It also was great at engaging the audience into the storyline and making them think like the character about how to survive. It consisted of a few cinematic scenes here and there to show the setting so we, the audience, can have a better understanding of  the location of where the characters are and what they could be doing there. From this information and seeing that this trailer had a total of 18,141,321 views on YouTube alone I decided to replicate some of the scenes in my own work.  I have included a lot of cinematic shots in my work in order to show as much detail about the story as possible it shows everythi...

Evaluation Initial Research  The brief I was presented with was to create a TV and Print advert for a company called happy foundation. After doing some research I found out that this company is a mental health company and want to try and improve everyone’s mental health, they want to build a happier society and “encourage positive changes” in people lives. After doing more research and reading the brief I found out that my intended target audience was my own community this could be my local community or a wider community. The task at hand was to create a TV and a print advert to help promote the company and help people smile. I started out by thinking out a few ideas and researched into mental health in the UK as I am interpreting the “community” as the country. I have researched into how mental health effects people in the UK and looked at statistics on how it has changed over the years, I found out quite a few interesting statistics which help me tailor the advert towards a certa...

  PRODUCTION production journal From the dates Monday the first of  February to Sunday the seventh I set out creating my advert, i set this week out to complete the whole advert and editing process in order to keep on time and not get confused with anything else. As we are working from home and we don not have any access to the Adobe suit I decided to use Davincci Resolve 16. I chose this particular software as i have prior experience with the software from other projects I have worked on in the past in my own time. The software is fairly simple to use and was easy to understand when editing videos on it.  During the filming process (first half of the week) I recorded a few different activities that can be done at home that can make different people smile as this is what the advertisement is about. In order to film my scenes I used a DSLR camera and a tripod. I used a tripod as there was no moving shots that i needed to create, if there was a moving shot i would have used...

  Production   This is what my setup was to record the mid shots at the start of the film it was easy to setup and get going with my takes.  This is my timeline as of the 18th january i have most of the editing done for my video just need to finish it. I have opted to use davincci resolve as its easy to use and free. Its an alternative to Premier pro which i don't have access to at home due to current covid restrictions and all education being online. This was the closest alternative that i could get hold of. This was my timeline once my documentary was finished    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi9C4DBeBo4&feature=youtu.be This is my finished product, overall i am quite happy with it as i got most of my points explained in detail and can be clearly understood by watching the documentary. I have done what i can to the best of my abilities with the new covid 19 restrictions meaning we can go out and meet up with many people, therefore i have had to turn...

  Pre - Production  Equipment List I have created an equipment list in order to know what equipment i will need to create my print and tv advert. I have also added where they will be used and if i have obtained them yet which you can see I have. I have created this in order to be organised and to see what i need to create my end product. The Equipment list has been made so I know what I need in order to create  my end product with good quality footage which will appeal to the viewers. Risk Assessment From  I have created a risk assessment from in order to show what possible hazards there are when filming and shooting photos for my adverts. As i will do most of my filming and shooting at home then i can safely say there are not a lot of possible hazards as its a safe environment. I have created this because it helps me and other people see what and where i am shooting to let people know if its a safe place to shoot and film.  Contributor Release Form As i will be...

Test Footage / Proto-type https://youtu.be/tHtKuIR5Gs8 This is a test video i made which would act as my introduction scene of my documentary. It is rather effective in getting the genre of the documentary across and also telling the viewer what it is about as a whole. The intro sequence shows the viewer what is going to be in the documentary and effectively shows that in the montage of pictures showing different things. The actual title scene tells the viewer in words what they can expect to see and is rather clear and visible to read. I used a varitey of tools such as cut, spit and many more in order to arrange the clips and have them to the perfect lengths in order to fit together well. A few things i would change is to try and make all the pictures landscape in order to make it look a lot cleaner and more professional. I would also add another picture where the music changes on the last image just to make it cleaner and fit with the rest of the film.  I made this by gathering i...

TV Advertisement My initial idea for a TV advertisement is to grab the reader's attention by using some emotions. This could be achieved by showing the viewer some dark miserable and or upsetting footage of how mental health issues affect people in a variety of ways this could be statistics and or videos of how it affects people's lives daily. The video could have enhanced sounds in order to create dramatic effect, from things that go on in the clips. The use of foley sounds would be useful in order to enhance certain sounds. This could be shot in a home environment to make it more realistic and make it a way of showing a day in the life aspect of a person with mental health issues. Depending on the effect I try to achieve I could make the set either messy or clean in order to show the effects it can have on different people in different ways. The cinematography aspect could see swift movements and fast paced shots or the complete opposite with slow movements depending on the e...

Professional Practice   Timeline and shooting schedule  This is my current time line which includes all the dates i need to follow in order to get the product finished by the deadline date. On the timeline you can see that the dates are all separated by a one week long gap. This is to ensure that i have enough time in order to complete each task before starting and going onto the next task. The dates you see on the timeline are the dates when each thing needs to be finished by ideally to have it completed by the deadline date. As you can see the recording parts will take place from the 04/12/20 to the 11/12/20. This gives me a week in order to get shots i am happy with to the edit during the following week. However if something goes wrong i do have a contingency in place, this is to make the week after editing available for any takes that need polishing up or re taking to make the final product as close to perfect as possible. Risk assessment  I have filled in a risk asse...

  Chosen Idea From the mind maps i have decided to pursue the topic of film making, This is because i fell that there is more to talk about with this idea and also it will be easier to create. Also i believe it will engage with more people than the other idea this is because films and tv series are a big part of peoples life even more so in the lives of 13 - 19 year olds. I chose this idea over the others because it is more interesting in my opinion this is because i believe with the rise of influencers on social media this age range of young people look up to these people. Therefore with this documentary it will show them that they can also make content like their favourite social media influencers.  Presentation  I have managed to put together a presentation which highlights my idea and intentions very clear, i have a timeline which is easy to understand with dates showing when that task needs completing by. It has images scattered throughout in order to give a visual r...
