In addition to answering the evaluation questions,  I had to put the videos together. I did it on Windows Movie Maker, and then used a microphone to record my answers. Then I saved all the files in the correct format, and uploaded them to Youtube, and then copied the embed codes onto my Blog.

Storyboard Animactic

Sorry it's a bit blurred, same excuse that applys to my storyboard post!

Thumbnails

This is my thumbnails. I would have put up all of the pictures individually, but the photos were mostly blurred, and I couldn't get a good comprise between size and clearness. I've made it as large at blogspot allows though.

Music For Film Final

Takedown by kram.b

This is the track we have used on the final edit of our film. We didn't so much choose it, it was more a coincidence than anything. When our teacher was showing us how to load music onto the macs, we just happened to put this on, watched it through, and it matched all the action perfectly. We double checked by comparing other songs we had on there, just to make sure, but Takedown was by far the best track we had for the film.

Soundtrack Example Three

Monster Masquerade by kram.b

This is my third example of soundtracks we can use.

Soundtrack Example Two

In Rememberance by kram.b

Here is another example of a track I could use for a soundtrack for our film.

Soundtrack Example One

First Round Knockout by kram.b

Here is an example of a soundtrack I downloaded from http://www.freeplaymusic.com/. This is just to show the kind of things I can choose from to use for a soundtrack.

Ident Draft

The one thats just the camera on a white background was just me basically messing around, trying to see what I could do with photoshop. The second one I did is a proper attempt, and a version of an ident I'd quite like to use. I took inspiration from one I've seen on a film i once watched, but can't find on the internet.

Learning Skills Work- Media Studies

Individual Learning Skills Project

View more presentations from guest57d2c0.

This is just basically a project I did for Learning Skills, in additon to what I'm doing for coursework. I chose to make my project on Media because I wanted to spend more time on coursework, and it was a good chance to further research the music and editing of films, which I felt I needed to do.

Feedback For Draft

We were given feedback on our film draft.

Successes:
Good camera shots and angles and good editing.
Good blur to create disorientation. and good effective lighting.

Improvements:
Consider effects more and music and titles.
Make it shorter.

Overall People thought we should get a high level 2/ low level 3.

This post is just basically summarising how the film came into the existence, and the true story it was based on.

This post is talking about how the film is falling out of contention for an Oscar after it's advertising budget was majorly cut.

Issues With Film Again

Over half term, we booked a camera and tripod from the library again with the intention of filming corrections for the film on wednesday, the only day we were all free. However, it threw it down with rain all day, and seeing as our location was outside, this presented a problem. We got a bunch of umbrelllas and had at least one over the camera at all times to keep it dry. Instead though, the camera was seriously affected by the cold and the first battery we had lasted about half an hour, and we only had about fifteen seconds of useable footage. Then the camera got so cold that we had to stop filming, because the picture had black lines through it. On top of this, Andy didn't have all the right clothes on, and we hadn't had a chance to storyboard it properly.

In the end of the camera got so cold that the batterys were running out incredibly fast, and so we had to abandon the shoot when it stopped working all together. However, we have managed to arrange a new time, and yet another new location, and are just waiting for some more decent weather to film in, and the forecast shows we can do it soon, so it looks promising.

More Location Recce

This is a video I took whilst doing a bit more location scouting for our film. I did it to basically give a better idea what the area we are going to film in is like, which sometimes is hard to tell in photographs.
