Examples

Brief 1 - music videos

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOyYwzkQB98 - here is the music video for neck deep's a part of me, i think that this is something else that we could do, as there was nothing very complicated about the  shots that are used and also the special effects.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1BFHYtZlAU - here is another music video, this one is for the song stay together for the kids by blink 182, this is another song with a band playing instruments, however this one is more complicated, as with the location, the props (mainly the wrecking ball) and also the number of actors that have taken part in it, so therefore i believe that this one is more difficult to  do.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn-6eOxnEMI - Here is another music video i believe that we could recreate, this is a day to remembers song all i want, there is few shots of close up of people and also the effects are simple cuts, however there is also text on the screen that we would be able to add in also.

Brief 2 - Film trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgFws3AoIUY - here is a trailer for the film chef, I  believe that we could do something like this, as there was nothing overly complicated and also there was nothing big about the special effects also, therefore making it easier for us to do something like that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LIQ2-PZBC8 - here is a example of a trailer that we would not be able to do, this is marvels movie guardians of the galaxy, this one is a sci-fi movie and there fore has a lot of special effects in the movie and we would not be able to recreate these special effects on the simple editing programme that we will be using.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB95KLmpLR4 - here is the trailer for the movie the social network, and i believe we would be able to recreate this trailer as the shots are not overly complicated, and also the editing is simple and easy, and we would be able to do that.

Brief 3 - advertisement for a new product

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lfmlKYZ-vU - here is advertisements for the apple iphone, i believe that this is good for us to look at as the ads are very simple and not only that they get the point across clearly and easily, making it a good ad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWc8dUl7Xfo - here is an advertisement that we would not be able to do, as the props used are way to expensive so therefore we could not do an advert like this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAGOC1p9gxQ - here is another advertisement for a refrigerator  product, i believe that this would be simple to do as it is mainly close up shots of the product and text on the screen, and i believe that we would be able to do these effects and shots.

Roles for the briefs

All the three briefs that i believe are the most realistic options are brief 1, brief 2 and brief 3. All the three briefs that are chosen are very similar, and they also have very similar roles that are required in it.

The Director
The director is responsible for the overseeing the creative aspects of a film, this would include the content and flow of the film's plot, directing the performances of actors, organising and selecting the locations in which the film will be shot, and not just that they will also have to manage technical details also, such as positioning of the cameras, the use of lighting, and the timing content of the film's soundtrack.

Location manager
Location manager are responsible for the final clearing of a location for filming.

Camera operator 
The camera operator uses the camera at the direction of the cinematographer, director of photography or the film director to capture scenes of a film or a video.

Film editors
The film editor is the person who assembles the various shots into the final and often with the help of the director.

Actors 
Actors are the people that are in the scene and are playing a character.

These are roles that are gonna be within our group, however we are all most likely to do bits and pieces from each role so we all help each other out also.

Ideas and plans

I believe that the most realistic thing that I will be able to do and make it look good and professional, is either a music video, or a film trailer and also a new product/service

Brief one is a promotion package for the release of a new album, to include a music promo video, with a music video we can shoot for a simple video and put the music over the top, if their is an artist or band that is playing an instrument, we can act playing the instrument and lip sync it. This way we do not have to write and perform our own song and makes it a lot easier and lot less work for the group. Also with brief one we have to two of the following:

• A website for the band 
• A digipak for the album's release
• A magazine advertisement for the digipak

We have already have experience with a music magazine as we have already created a music magazine,    so therefore this should be simple to make as we have already have had experience. We can also look at other bands homepage and be able to use it as our model to look at. Also the same could be said about the digipak, as we can look at other bands digipak and use them as models.

Brief two is a a promotion package for a new film and this includes making a film trailer for it, film trailer with a trailer we can shoot a simple trailer, we have already had experience with shooting a trailer, and we do not have to shoot a very complicated trailer and it will still look professional. We can only shoot a simple video as we do not have the proper equipment to shoot a huge production, however we already have programs that help us with shooting and also editing. Also \with this brief we need to do two of the following

• A website homepage for the film
• A film magazine front cover, featuring the film
• A poster for the film

Again we have had experience with  creating magazines, so therefore creating a front cover should be simple. With the homepage we can see similar films webpage and use them as a model, and also again for the poster we can look at similar film posters and use it as a model.

 Brief is an advertising package for a new product or service, and this includes two TV advertisements, with the TV advertisements we can make a simple one, and also look at other advertisements and use them as model ones, with this we also have to do two of the following:

• a radio advertisement 
• A TV programme sponsorship sequence 
• A web pop up

We have programmes already installed on the computer that will record our voice and also allows us to edit and therefore makes it easier for us to make a radio advertisement, and also we can listen to other radio advertisements. Also it will be simple to create a web pop up as they are simple designs, and again we could look at other examples and use them as a model. For a TV programme sponsorship sequence we can look at similar ones to ours and use them as models.

Our trailer

This is our finished trailer of our version of the original Lucy trailer

This is the original trailer that is on you tube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN7ksFEVO9U

Stuff that I think that are good are the camera angles, especially the opening scene with the eye, it was a close up and i believe that that was the best shot we have done, another point i believe that we did good was the music as it was similar to the original trailer and we had to do it our selves, also with the basic editing i think that it was good as it made it look better and more professional. 

However there was stuff that we could have done better, for example with location, we could have used other locations, for example there was a scene with a elevator and we could have used a elevator. Also we could have used more props, we used one prop of a towel to look like a bandage however we could have used more props.

Film Editing

For editing the film we used iMovie, we placed our all our recordings on to the application and then we placed them in the order of when they are on. Once that was done we added music and basic edits, we mainly used fading from black, as this was easy to show that each part of the trailer was either at a different place or time, and also made it look more professional. For the music we couldn't find a sample form iMovie so we made our own music for the trailer using GarageBand and made it sound similar to what the music was in the original trailer.

Filming

For filming we had to take in a few points, location,camera angles, props and actors.

Filming locations
For our locations we decided to keep it in the school environment, as it was easy for us to just get a camera and start recording, however this meant that we were unable to recreate the scenes as we would like, as we needed to use more locations.

Camera angles 
we had a few good camera angles and especially the start when there was a close up of the eye, i believe that was a really good shot and angle. I believe that the camera angles is very good within the film.

Props
We did not use many props, we used one. We had a towel and wrapped it around to make it look like a bandage and it was only in for a second or maybe two, but that was important for the trailer

Story board

We made a story board at the start so that we are able to plan out how we want our trailer to look like, this helps the actors, so that they can see what they would need to do, and it also helps the cameramen as it would show them what camera angles to use, and also helps the director to be able to put their vision down and be able to easily recreate it afterwards.

First Lesson

The First lesson consisted of joining our group, deciding on the task we were going to do, and what our roles were in the group. We decided that we were going to recreate a trailer that we chose, and the trailer that we chose was for the film Lucy. Within the group we all did little things within the group, we did the acting and the directing, and we all decided to help with the editing at the end. So that way we all helped towards the end project.
