  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...
