Week 4 third evaluation of the Carousel

TV & Film, Make a live advertisement, advertising a BIC multicolours pen and how amazing it is.

 Research 

We started in groups of 5 brainstorming ideas of how we would go about expressing how good the pen was. We had several different ideas but we ended up agreeing on the idea that two people would end up having a sword fight with a regular pen and a BIC pen.

Each group then voted for other group's ideas, the one with the most votes is chosen to be advertised.

Skills

Everyone was given different jobs roles, so the advert could be done a lot quicker; I was selected to do sound gathering. This involved me collecting sounds off of a separate computer.

Recording all sound internally on a computer using Adobe audition.

Transferring the sounds and music recorded to set computers.

Finally queuing those sounds ready for the advert, and playing them accordingly to the script.

Processes
  • Gathering sounds
  • Transferring sounds
  • Playing them at the correct time.
Method

When collecting the sound we used a separate computer to the ones in the set. We used Adobe Audition to record the sounds, Adobe Audition is a piece of software that allows the computer to record all the sounds be played through its stereo. The sound effects were captured off a website called "freesounds.org" and the music/soundtrack was collected off YouTube.

All of the sounds were put into a file and then put onto a memory stick, this is then plugged into the set computers. We used two set computers so it would be easier to queue sounds in time for the live recording.

H5P hotspots Unit 7

H5P has enabled me to create hotspots on my website which lead to bits of text that present teasers about the film. This works very well as it leaves the viewer in a state of suspense this relates very well to my production as it is thriller genre. These bits of text can help the narrative as they can also hint at the plot to help engage the reader and encourage them to watch the film. Bits of footage can also establish what the film could be about and the what the viewer is likely to see if they watch the film. Having the hotspots also demonstrates the type of film I am producing, by adding interactive content such as hotspots puts emphasise on the fact that I have made an interactive production.

The Graham Norton Show Graham Norton joined by Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Charlize Theron, and Seth McFarlane. The show is located in front of a live audience, and has several celebrities at once on the show. A typical show consisted of one big celebrity name, a comedian sitting in the aforementioned comedy chair and a well-known musical personality who would all be introduced after the monologue. A typical show consisted of one big celebrity name, a comedian sitting in the aforementioned comedy chair and a well-known musical personality who would all be introduced after the monologue. The shows primary colour associated with the show is red this is due to the show being aired on BBC One which known for its red colour scheme. The dress code associated is very smart. To contrast this the host Graham Norton has a very relaxed and takes a very jovial approach when conversing with his guests. Generally the show sticks to very basic shots that consist of long shots of

Both wix and weebly share the same quality of creating websites for the customer. Both websites have similar home pages, Weebly has a rather bland expression  front page whereas Wix has a more visually pleasing. Both the websites have a button on the front page that will take them straight to the login page that will allow you to either create an account or login to your current account. Once you have logged in to Wix you will then be given the option to create a web page with a number of dfferent templates. You can design it as you like adding a number of different mechanics to the sight for example pictures and videos. Weebly offers you a range of website templates to help you start your website. These templates can also have different themes and different styles depending on what you actually put on your website. I will be using Wix as it provides an easier service and is very easy to use, this is due to the very clear instructions on how to create a website and how to
