Post 15: Practice Movie Poster

ANCILLARY TASK 1: PRACTICE MOVIE POSTER





















In different groups (different to our coursework groups), we were given an existing film poster. I was put with Jordan Rolf (below). We then had 2 hours to recreate this poster as close as possible to the exact detail and then upload to our blogs. We only had the resources we had come to the lesson with, so one group had a camera in their bag and we used our phones and computer but another group forgot their laptop so had to print things out of hand-edit it together. Immediately, we knew we had to take a photo who looked as similar as possible to Jim Carrey and was wearing a similar suit, so we went into a sixth form common room and asked a friend to pose like Carrey with a white background. Then we looked for photos on the internet of penguins, edited them, and arranged them into the photo. Thankfully, Jordan knows how to use photoshop very well and it wasn't difficult. After that, we closed in on the writing and took a while to choose a similar font to edit on illustrator so that it was the same as it is on the photo but within the 2 hours, we finished!

Post 55: EVALUATION Q.3

Q.3 WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM YOUR AUDIENCE FEEDBACK? Firstly, here is my plan for answering Evaluation Question 3:  THE QUESTIONNAIRE: Some answers from three different people taken verbally after they have watched the music video and looked at the ancillary tasks, (the poster and the Digi-Pak): Then, I asked one woman aged 51+ and two boys aged 17 to answer it. Here were their responses:  - woman (purple pen) - boys (black pen) - A video we created taking some more answers: What have I learnt from my audience feedback? To gain feedback I wanted to specifically talk to people who were part of my target audience, which was younger people, but I also spoke to few people from an older generation to make sure it was inclusive. I did this by showing people my music video on youtube and then printing out my digi-pak and poster and presented them in the interview. I then asked them questions in a discussion or interview; but I also used

Post 33: PLANNING: Editing

EDITING Our editing style, we know already, we plan to be slow and not heavily edited in port-production with long takes that can really take in the story, to fit the more sombre tone of the song, rather than be heavily edited with lots of cuts that can come out as jumpy and fast. We also want to focus on the sisters, so the cameras will often be rolling for a longer time on the sisters and their movement and not just just on and off for certain shots that are pieced together later to make the story. Below is an example of one longer shot that we could use, instead of lots of little ones, when shooting in the car moving from one sister across to the other: NARRATIVE: Above is a video I found on YouTube roughly describing what narrative is. It helped me understand the meaning of narrative and how it is used.  LINEAR NARRATIVE  -  Linear narratives  present stories in a logical manner by telling what happens from one point in time to the next without using flashbacks

Post 6: Key Music Videos Timeline

POST 6: PRACTICE TASK - KEY MUSIC VIDEOS TIMELINE    This research is to discover the key turning points in music videos in the last century leading up until now. Before we started, the only inclination we had was that Michael Jackson's Thriller music video was important and was a major turning point with creating a storyline with the music video so it was interesting for all of us to see where it originally came from and who influenced the creation of music videos all of the world.  Our online presentation for the Key Music Video Timeline can be found: HERE.
