Evaluation for final film

For the final film of the unit we did a photo essay. For the project I had chosen to do a story about something that had happened to me inside a computer game. The reasoning behind this is because I am a big gaming fanatic and I thought for at least one of my projects could have been based around one of my favorite computer game. I started the photo essay on monday 11:00 am till 8:00 pm during this time I captured 60 photos. I captured this many photos because I had a bad camera so quite a few of the shots were rather blurred. My weakness during the shoot was taking photos since the camera i was using was bad at actually taking picture and projecting my voice clearly when talking . The editing for the project went quite smoothly The reason I edited in the way that I did was because it fit with the story that I told E.G The photo of the dragon burning me and killing me I state "that he is burning everything and he killed instantly". During the screening I did receive some constructive criticism for the project one such being that i have to speak louder and clearly, wright a script, some say that the voice over I did was a good concept it just needed to be more clear were as other said it was a bad idea though other said and i agree that without the voice over it would be unclear what is happening and finally people said that the images were good but blurred if they were much more clear the video would look so much better. 

  

The day I swore to defeat Deathwing

lord of the rings evaluation practice

Stars with black screen and narration then classical orchestral music begins as the title fades in then fades out to a scene with narration of one of the character we learn about later on she talks about the creation of the great rings and how they were forged. The narrator states that 3 of the rings were gifted to the elves “immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings” there was a close up shot of the three elves hands with the rings which zooms to a mid shot to show the face of a young beautiful woman to keep her statement true the lighting in this shot is bright and radiant to make them seem mystical and almost angelic creatures. The narrator continues on to say that seven rings were given to the dwarf lords “great miners and craftsman of the mountain halls” the camera stars with a close up of all seven rings then does a close up pan shot of the dwarfs with the rings in there hands the faces of the dwarfs are clear but the rings are blurred by there facial expressions we can tell that the dwarfs are admiring the rings. The camera then cuts to a long shot of the dwarfs holding the rings in the air the lighting in the dwarf shots is dark and dirty to show that they are underground men the only light shown in the shots are the candles. The narrator then states that “nine rings were given to the race of men who above all else desire power” the camera for this shot is a zoom shot which starts with a medium shot which moves out to a long shot then fades out.

video haiku ideas

Ideas that i might use for the haiku video .
I first looked on a site for haiku poems I might use for the video I found a couple I liked:

Leaf falls from a tree
and returns to it
it was a butterfly,

Upon a naked branch
A raven came
Autumn dusk,

We are as in autumn
On the branches
leaves

and

A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone

I also at one point tried to come up with my own but I struggled to think of one so I gave up and used the forth one I picked

video haiku for college

production log for haiku test video

in todays lesson we focused on learning on doing a haiku video which is a video focused around a haiku poem which as 3 shots a 5 second shot a 7 second shot and  another 5 second one. a haiku poem starts with          a 5 syllable line then a 7 syllable and finally another 5 syllable and the video must focus on this poem and must show shots relative to the poem. the poems we used were three japanese haikus


We are as in autumn
On the branches
Leaves

Upon a naked branch
A raven came
Autumn dusk

We stand alone
Pierced by a ray of sun
and already its dark

production log

Today I edited the video footage i captured the other night for my 4th film for my film Tuesday lesson.
To edit my video I hat to make certain decisons to shorten the film and make it look better then it did as it did not look up to standards before hand.
I did have abit of trouble editing as it for some reason deleted a parts of the beginning so i hat to make the decision to either start again or delete certain parts of speech to take the footage and put it over the sound from the beginning so that is what i chose to do which  actually helped out for the video and i think it is better.

25sec video for college Zombie attack

proposal

Synopsis
The video is about a group of people fighting for there life against a horde of the undead. The reason group got stuck in this predicament is because whilst running from the undead the got trapped in a field so they decide to stay and fight for there life’s.

Audience Anticipated
The anticipated audience for this film are those that like zombie films and action films such as resident evil and dawn of the dead an average age range for the video would be around 15-18

Big Idea
The video is about a group of people trying to survive an attack from a horde of undead monsters. The differences to this and other films and television are that they were not 25 seconds long and they were done professionally.

Conflict
In the video there will be conflict in the group between the protagonist and naughtier member of the group.

Structure
The way I intend to structure the video is by first Writing a script out. I shell then draw out a story board to show how each scene should look. I then shell get people involved such as family and friends. I shell then acquiring the props for the video such as fake weapons and clothing. I then shell find a place to shoot the video. After I have done the things specified I shell then start filming.

Resolution
At the end of the video the protagonist and his companions got over run with the horde of enemies. The group struggle to hold there own against the enemy but they try with all there might to be victorious but alas they perish with honour.

Other Work
Yes this subject of film has been produced before but in there film the protagonist is victorious but in mine they try to prevail but they loose with honour and that is what is new and interesting about my project.
