Group 19 presentation

In order to save time discussing each shot we would use when we started filming I decided to save time and do all the initial planning myself. I wrote up the scripts for all the videos we shot including the interview with Kevin where I wrote out his questions as well as his responses to each question, this gave him an idea of what route to take when he answered the questions. He didn't read exactly what was scripted which was useful for playback as it gave a more natural response. I also created a 50 shot storyboard however for issues with time we had to scrap majority of it and change the ending in order to be finished in time and to go into the editing process.

PLANNING

Mirror Toy Car

PROPS

In order to capture the true essence of twilight and Bella and Edwards characters I watched the trailer again and again for two days and used specific lines from the film and manipulated them into something I believed to be funny. I used the fact that most actors are in love with themselves and exaggerated it slightly when Edward stares at his reflection as he speaks to Bella.

I think the use of the mirror was quite effective in terms of humour because it’s a common fact that vampires have no reflection, the mirror kind of suggests that twilight isn't a film to be taken seriously in the first place. It highlights the fact that Twilight in many ways made the idea of vampires rather pathetic like the sparkling in the light kind of makes a mockery of the entire film. Just like the mirror

o in our swede.

SCRIPTING

Technologies:

Camcorder with a tripod so the shots don’t look shaky or bent, and also it was easier to adjust the right height and angle for shots such as over the shoulder.

We used a flip cam to film the interview with Kevin to try out something new and have a variety of technologies and also because it was quicker and easier as it was only needed for a short interview.

• The angle used in filming the interview was the type of angle the majority of interviews are recorded

Filming:

The filming took place on site in a location where we could find most greenery so it would resemble one of the original famous movie scenes.

We did not concern ourselves with the precision of angles from the original movie such as Edward clearly looking down and instead we filmed Kevin from the side with his hand on the tree.

Technologies - Filming

Editing, putting together the sequences to create the final product before it would’ve been shown to the public.

Final Cut Pro, iMovie, Garage Band and Soundtrack Pro.

Due to insufficient skills in Final Cut a lot of time was sacrificed therefore it took longer to make.

We used iMovie to put together the interview as we were more familiar with it which made it quicker to make.

Fade in/out for questions and shots of Kevin, colour, text customisation to create a more interesting video with different effects.

Editing

We used a method of “Simultaneous release.” to help get our swede out to the general public. We used social networking platforms in order to reach our desired target audience (14-17 year olds.) We used the most popular sites like “Facebook” and “Twitter” because we knew we’d be able to appeal to a wider audience that fitted with the age group that we were trying to focus on.

Q: How did your film literally get from your hard drive to the audience

Chronologically, In these steps..

• Connected to IMac –• Edited the footage down to it’s final

piece• Saved it• Uploaded the final swede + bloopersIt took a while to mesh all these steps together, none of us had really used Mac’s before so under those circumstances, editing and uploading this Swede, I think as a group we did pretty well.

Q: How useful was the internet when showcasing work?

The internet was extremely easy to use for showcasing the swede because the options we had were so big, and the platforms were so huge, that any site we used already had a huge following; for example..

Our Tumblr.First Arrow:The first arrow is pointing to the text post that Tumblr features. This allows a blog to write anything, in this case, its all the info about our SwedeSecond Arrow: The second arrow is an audio post of a song that’s featured in our Swede, anyone can listen to it.Third Arrow: Is a Gif (moving picture) from the Swede, allows people to see small clips.
