Spp Show Reel

I have been going through my work from first year and as the show reel is 90second long i thought of put 1second from each clip and then some other effects will be added to. This show Reel is to presented at the exhibition of our final year work.

Artefacts

After i finish doing my artefact's i start writing my Final Conclusion where i could talk about my results and understand of my chosen area. i believe this conclusion will help me in my presentation and i would use that as my reading notices too . i have start working on my PowerPoint presentation to which will be presented on Tuesday 18th May 2010. i will be talking about how i thought of this project why i choose this project and what is my understanding about this particular research project.

Client Evalution

I am done with writing my evaluation now i have a full week to get it proof read and then hand it in i have been up to date with my evaluation and finish it on time i decide to do it by. Right now i know once i read the whole report again i would find so many random mistakes which wont make sense to me which is why i gave myself a whole week to sit and read it again and again to make it good enough to hand it in.

Artefacts

Ok I have finally done all my six artefact's and i am so happy about it all I have to do is write my conclusion so I can talk about my best results i got during this test. it was fun doing this project as the topic I choose was quiet interesting and stories about people,places etc I got to find were amazing didn't know allot of the stuff but when I went my way to find out about them I was amazed my tutor Danny Kaye was a big help during this process as he is my tutor for both of my projects client and personal research project and I had fun working with him.

Handing in my project

On 26th on march morning at 9.00am I was in university to burn my disk DVD well I thought because I am done I would just burn its and go but hey I ended up staying till 4 and that’s when I handed in my project. Rest till about five I thought why not work on my 5th artefact evaluation which I haven’t done yet I got my results but I didn’t do my evaluation because of my client videos so that was the time when I even finished my evaluation got it proof read from 2 people and will hand it in once i am sure that I should post it now.

My final Edit

I did my final edit on 23rd march 2010. In total I had about 7 edits and I was not happy with 6 of them because there was a lot of unnecessary footage there and some parts where really shaky, also each time I did my edit I showed it to group of people so they can give me feed back on how I am doing and what else I need to prove. I did not show my footage to different people each time because then it gets to complicated so I kept 5 people the same each time I showed it to them they would give me feed back and tell me how I have improved from last time. now my project needed to be in on 26th march 210 and I needed to decide which edit I want to keep so I went to through all my footage again and I realised the 7th on was good but still needed bit of work on it so I spend my whole day doing that to make it good as possible because that is my final project and I want it to be good. Then time came to make the DVD cover which I already had an idea what sort of design I want so it took me 3 hours to do it.

About 5th Artefact

My next artifact is based on a air crash in 1988 on lockerbie this was caused by a man called Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi and after spending his life in jail now he has been released also he received a hero welcome in his home town. alot of the people and countries were not happy with Britain's decisions of releasing him allot of different stories came in front of the world. what i want to know how people feel about it and what is there reaction on this news i have now come to the point where i have realised that people aren't interested in a general news like story of a girl who sleeps for 2 weeks i mean my audience found that very boring not allot of them wanted to sit there and watch the news at all but it had to be done. people watched Banazir Bhutto assassination news very carefully and were up for giving there views. not many were bothered about Britney going to hospital not saying no1 was interred but they weren't dieing to know either. so my aim for my last 2 artifact sis to get a news that actually interest them and want them to answer my question i read allot about lockerbie disaster after Danny my tutor and i want to go ahead with it and found out more interesting views on this report.

Comments for my client edit

I wanted to show my edit to few students and also my tutor so i can get to know what changes should be made if there are many should be made.
Comments 1 Student : my interviews were to long and it was bit boring to watch same person for so many minutes and listen to there chat about place i was told by this student that i should keep the interview and instead of her picture i should over lay it with an other images from my footage also my start and my end is good i should stick to it.
Danny Kaye comment: same thing as the student i should over lay the interview with few other footage i have because watching an interview can get really boring if its too long. also sort my audio out as it gets to low and to high at some points.
Comment 2 Student: my start is really good i should stick to the idea and also the ending is good but interviews are to long so i should work on that and replace the clip or over lay it with an other footage of the event.
after getting all these comments i went through my footage again and sorted all the problems out again i am still working on my volume etc.
i have change allot of thins from the last edit i have in total i have 12 edits and i have keep changing it but lats night i have made my final edit which is edit 12 and i will stick to that as its really good and also makes sense i will now make an appointment with my client and show them the footage so they can give their opinion i will then try to work around it again if i have enough time.

Client

I have half my editing which means now i am looking for background music to put in my edit. so far it looks good but you will scenes that shake a bit and that's because we could not use tripods reason for that is because actors were doing their rehearsal and we were filming that so we had to follow them around allot and we could not stand in one place well still its good and its not bad at all its in fact good.

Designing the questionaire

For my second artefact I have kept few my questions same as the last one but the video clip is different, even though few questions are same because of the different news report people’s views and opinions will be different. It has not been approved by tutor yet which is why I won’t go a head with handing them out to people yet.

Artefact 2 - Britney Spears Mental Breakdown

I.T.N News



BBC News - Los Angeles



ABC News



KCAL 9 News

Choice for Artefact 2

As my report is based on people’s perception on different reportage and having good results from the first artefact which was serious news from four different channels.

This time again I have choose to do the same difference will be they are different channels from also time and news story is totally different. I have choose to do a story on Britney spears who is a celebrity who went through a lot this is based on her going to mental breakdown and they had to take her to the hospital. People will have to watch the clips from my blogger and then fill in a questionnaire where they will give us their views on this news which is serious but not serious as someone dieing.
Again 10 people will be filling in the questionnaire and I will be showing my results either by making pie charts or something else all will be done once questionnaires gets done.

Paper work for Client

Today I have been working on my paper for the documentary with Nottingham Arts Theatre. I have manage to do a risk assessment, location release form I have also made a script but once I read it I realised there were so many spelling mistakes and the grammar was quiet bad therefore I have printed the document anyway so I can mark it and see what I need to change.
I have also got dates from my client to film the whole project my first shoot will be on 1st of January 2010 at 6pm, where I will be filming a rehearsal with kids who act in shows for Nottingham Arts Theatre.

Second date is on the 4th January 2010 where I will film an interview with Rebecca Langford and also film around the building take still images this starts at 1pm in afternoon.

Third shoot is on the 9th January 2010 at 5.30pm on this day they have a show going on so there will be a lot going on there.
And that would be it for the whole filming after this I would start my editing and collect music and stuff for the whole documentary.

Documentary Script

I have just finish writing My script there aren't many dialogues mostly shots been filmed. one interview with Becky and few dialogues from kids ,staff and audience but all that is on the spot so they will or they can say anything they like to the camera.

After the meeting

OK so i went to see my my client i spoke to her about what i want to do and how i want to do it.. also showed her my proposal as well which approved now and they are very happy with it.meeting lasted 20minutes and during that i took 3 dates from them where i can come to the location and shoot the video.my documentary is 10 to 15minutes long so and it is all Good with them too.

Meeting the Client

well today i thought i could ring My client and ask her for the dates but she was busy in a meeting so Becky said i should come and see her at 3 0 clock to sit with her and discuss the whole thing, so i came into university and till 3 i will up grade my blog which i haven't been doing as much i should have been doing amount of work i been doing i have not entered much here but now i will do that regularly and keep up with it.

Client Project

OK so!!!!
so far i have done my proposal and it is ready to go to my client but before i do that o need to have a meeting with her and ask her for filming dates ,as in which date she will be free to let em come and film the whole thing well as i said before project will be not long i will keep it maximum 10minutes to 15min long and not more then that i know promotional videos can be very boring so lets not let anyone get bored at all right and make it interesting as possible. i have a plan and i am quiet clear about what i want to do.in the proposal i have shown a time table of what ,when,and how i will be doing everything. i believe i need to be very organised because i have my artifacts and also SPP to concentrate on too not let just one subject my whole priority.

Progress towords my artefact

well so far i have done my first artifact and made my presentation and wrote an evaluation as well.i made too charts to show results and then put them in a word file with my evaluation so you could see what and how i got my results. my questionnaire was based on 10 peoples perception how people react to different reportage ,getting people to do my questionnaire wasn't a easy job as no one likes filling questionnaires any how i did get people and i got what i wanted to do so not a problem at all i am glad that's out the way.
