experimenting with these shots helped me practice with different camera angles which I didn't use in my college promotional video from the induction brief. it helped me practice and experiment with various camera angles, shot types. by learning these skills, it will help me improve my shots and camera skills in upcoming future projects
Induction Brief
through doing this project, I learned how to use the cameras and tripod for the very first time. this was very much a trial and error experience. lots of things learned and lots of mistakes made. i learned from those mistakes which helped me improve my work and become more experienced at filming and taking shots.
i also learned how to use Adobe Premier Pro for the first time. although i have used video editing software in the past such as I movie and Capcut, this was similar, but I learned more advanced video editing techniques.
I started by renaming all my video files after recording so I knew which was which. I did this by labeling the type of shot and who was in the shot.
I then decided to arrange my shots in order on the timeline of what order the shots were going to be.
I then watched all the shots and used the razor tool to get rid of the few seconds where the shot dragged on a bit extra at the end or took a while to start. This is so all the clips seamlessly go together and transition from one to the next so when its all edited together there's no jumpiness and it all flows together chronologically.
I added 3 different copyright free music tracks. At first I was only going to use 1 track but I discovered it didn’t fit the theme throughout, just at the start. Then when we were both standing with a face to face close up I added an even more intense bit of music to make it more suspenseful. Then when we were both lying on the floor dead I added a sad tone of music after to show the battle is over. I added foley sounds for the gunshots and cut to black to increase suspense so you don’t know what has happened which keeps the viewer in suspense,
I also added transitions before I blacked out the screen to show a change in mood of the scene. To change from an intense to an extremely suspenseful atmosphere
We decided to shoot at the back of the college between the arts and sports building to give it a sketchy back allay vibe where a 1 to one confrontation would take place. Also its isolated which made it easier to do.it perfectly set the scene for the shoot. We also intended for both shooters to be killed which made it more dramatic
Before producing my product, i had to prepare where i was filming, who i was filming with and what equipment id need to bring with me on shooting day. I Also had to outline any risks that could occur on set and find ways i could prevent them if they were to happen. This was to make sure i was prepared for any problems that i could run into during filming. I also had to get permissions from the owners of the land so they were aware i was going to film on their property and so i could get their permission to publish any content that would be filmed on their property. these are legal documents that would need to be filled in before i go onto production. I created a contributor release form to get permissions from the owners of the land of Seaburn beach in order to get consent to take shots on the land to use for my campaign. This form also gave me permission to publicly publish any shots i take on the land. This also gives me the copyrights to the property so i therefore have the rig...
I then created a power point pitch in order to present to my audience the overview of the brief as well as my thoughts on the brief and what I'm going to do for the brief in order to help promote it to a younger audience. I briefly went through everything so far giving background info on the client, some research into what the client do such as the products they make as well as the types of advertisements they make to promote their products. I then show examples of previous campaigns to generate ideas on the types of products i might create in my campaign so my audience understand. I then finish off by giving an overview on what I'm doing for the campaign as well as asking if there was any questions on what i went over so far. At the end I was asked to go into detail on what i plan to do for my products. In which i respond explaining how i would create a print advert and magazine cover. I chose the print advert as not all young audiences like reading therefore an image will vis...
Magazine cover plan Before i start production, i wanted to create a brief plan on what i wanted the magazine cover to look like. This means the layout of the magazine, the rough plan of what the shot will look like such as lighting angle, shot size and time of day. I plan to shoot along Seaburn beach as its very long bit of land so there is a big variety of shot types and angles i could use. There is also lots of possibilities of types of shots i could use and i could manipulate my camera skills to create the best shot i can. I though if i shoot this at night i could get the street lights to reflect off the sea creatively so you get this colourful reflection which brightens up the sky. Then I thought if I shoot it at night then i can but a bright coloured title to contrast and stand out from the dark background. Then if I put the title and images at the top and bottom of the cover then it wont get in the way of the vivid eye catching image. This is just a rough sketch plan so it i...
