 Week three carousel media
 Today in the media carousel we filmed an advert for a bit pen. When we got into the classroom we came up with ideas in groups of five or six and then presented them to the rest of the class and chose the best idea.  The idea is that we came up with was to have a rubber still the Bic pen from a house whilst the owners are asleep, then the owners wakes up and come downstairs to catch the rubber in the act, then they would have a fight over it, one of our other ideas was to have a classroom setting with a bic pen on the table next to someone and then one of the other students would try and steal the pen of the table, before he can do that the owner grabs it and they have a sword fight with the pens. The idea we chose was group 2  and it was about four hippies that go to the moon with a bic pen and fighting alien with the pen as a weapon. Anja and I did the Pops for the advert. We made space helmets and an alien mask for the production. Making the helmets and the props only took us one lesson so once we have done we joined  to help other people.  We helped with the sound effects that would run over the live short. I also help  with the lighting in the actual production so when the cameras were rolling the lights were right.
 On day two of the carousel we edited the short films we made an introduction. Instead of editing own we edited another groups films. We didn’t edit it  like normal instead we did a Soviet montage edit. This is where you use repetition of scenes or images in the video. We showed this by putting the end videos at the beginning and the end so that they repeats throughout the video.

Camera Techniques.

Camera Techniques. Tilted Panning  This is when you use a tripod to scale up or down a subject during the attention to different pats of the subject as you do it. For example, if i had a person i was introducing to a program and i wanted to build tension i would use a upward pan so that at you see more of the body you can try figure out who it is. You can create an upwards tilted pan, by starting the tripod tilted to the ground you can start filing the feet and slowly go up the body and viser verser. I would use a downward pan if i was scaling a build to meet a subject at the bottom of it.  This would be useful in my production if I were to create a more dominating factor to a character for example if Danny was standing in a normal frame shot he would seem less dominating, whereas ifThis camera shot was used it would be like a slow  reveal to find out Who is under his mask. Panning  This technique can also be done on a tripod you can use this technique to follow a moving object

sound effects

On Monday we got into our groups that we were in before to create the sound effects so that we could edit them in to the video. Unfortunately our in sound affects didn’t save so we could not use them, but instead another group let us used their sound and we use video converter to get siundv effects off the Internet. We started off by turning the sound off the original video so that you can hear the sound effects we created. Once that was done we found the appropriate sound effects for the moment in the scene, because we had to use sound effects off the Internet we had to use video converter and the site that we used was quite slow so we only got the sound effect of the knife stabbing. Foley is when you make a sound effect from every day item that will be added in to a movie or video in post probuction for a better sound quality.  To get the sound effects we did a workshop with different items such as to make a stabbing noise we used a knife to chop up a cabbage, we also used a bucke

 The first thing we had to do was to come up with ideas for our adverts.  As a group we were able to come up with three different ideas that we thought would work well, these ideas were to have a family playing on the kindle I’m going through all the features with some dramatic music. The second idea was to do a generic phone advert with cinematic shots of the  kinda.  The final idea in the one we chose was to make it look as if the kindle was being experimented on find out what it could do  i’m find out all the different features it has. We also added the cinematic shots from the second idea at the end with some information about the product.  So the first thing we had to do was to come up with  advert ideas the.  Were able to do this quite well in a group as we have different suggestions and we were able to narrow it down to 3 main ideas. These ideas were to have a family sitting in the living room on the kindle playing and trying to find something that they could do together with
