This video is taken from the NBA all-star weekend. This is a weekend when the fans of the NBA vote for the players that they want to see compete in it. This often means that the best players in the NBA take part. This is what Daniel wants to be able to do in our film which is why this was inspirational for our film.GeorgeTruslerMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15071847756960680475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951030680503260186.post-64188603151721535592012-03-26T09:18:00.001-07:002012-04-09T01:12:43.637-07:00<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pPmfbhVGbIQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This advert is part of my inspiration for the film i have made. This is because i think that it is a very effective montage sequence and if we could make our film similar then i think it will be very good. However, this video starts to drag on after about two minutes because the music is the same throughout and eventually you get bored of watching it.GeorgeTruslerMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15071847756960680475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951030680503260186.post-46453099580233337602012-03-22T12:44:00.001-07:002012-03-22T12:44:51.504-07:00Starting 2 weeks ago, we have been editing our final film. We got our footage over the course of a week £ weeks ago. We would have been quicker but we had an issue in that we had filmed outside when the weather was different meaning that at one point the sky was clear and blue and then at another, the sky was dark and grey. This meant that we had to re-film in the gym so that this would not be an issue. Once we had started this, we already knew exactly what we needed because of our script, storyboard and props list. This made the process a lot quicker. It took around 3 hours of filming before we were satisfied that we had enough footage and different shots to make our two minute long title sequence. Once we had done this, we uploaded all of our clips on to a computer so that we could edit them all together using 'Final Cut Express'. Throughout the editing stage we kept making as many improvements as possible. I then saw a Nike advert which was a basketball montage and then used this as inspiration for our sequence. This meant that we would need to cut some of the shots so that they were faster and more frequent so that it would be more interesting and exciting. Once we had done this, we found out that our film had been nominated for an award at the "RAFTA's"which is an award night at our school. After this night, we decided that we would need to add some music to our title sequence. We then searched the internet neil we found the song that suited our film the best and then applied it to our film. We then made the film fit to the music as well as we possibly could. Once we had done this, we started to make the titles for the sequence using 'Live Type'. We then put these titles into our sequence so that it was even closer to being finished.GeorgeTruslerMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15071847756960680475noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951030680503260186.post-50087225812748260512012-02-28T09:15:00.001-08:002012-04-12T02:51:21.027-07:00Today, i also did our draft sketches. These sketches were of the title that would be seen within our sequence. To do this, i just drew them on some paper so that we could later scan them onto the computer and then upload them tot he blog. I did six different titles:<br />
Poor Little Daniel<br />
Daniel Alaka<br />
Jake Margetts<br />
George Trusler<br />
Produced by.....<br />
Directed by.....<br />
I did this so that we knew roughly what we wanted our titles to look like in the sequence. From there, we can change the sizes and duration of each title within the sequence.

In order to do this i had to take photos of Daniel for each scene/clip that was going to be in our title sequence of 'Poor Little Daniel'. Once i had done this, i had to upload these pictures and then talk about the shots that were being used, why we used them and why this would be effective. I also had to talk about any sound that would be being played whilst the scene was running.GeorgeTruslerMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15071847756960680475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951030680503260186.post-18872239290643826602012-02-21T02:44:00.003-08:002012-02-21T02:44:59.273-08:00Today, we started to film our final piece which is our title sequence. To do this, we had to find an empty classroom to film the opening of the sequence because the main body of the filming is set on a basketball court which was being used, therefore we couldn't film that part today. This meant that we filmed all of the detention scene within the sequence so that could then be edited. To do this we uploaded the filming we had done so far on to the computer.GeorgeTruslerMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15071847756960680475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951030680503260186.post-77203996215924760762012-02-09T03:42:00.001-08:002012-02-09T04:16:56.654-08:00Today I adapted our 25 word pitch and improved the moodboard, I did this so that they were more professional and would therefore be of a better standard. We also did our risk assessment for our film production. Whilst doing the risk assessment, we had to think of all of the possible hazards that we may have to deal with when filming our final project. We also did the script for our main task. This consisted of what the narrator would be saying in the sequence and the stage directions for the actors within it as well.GeorgeTruslerMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15071847756960680475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951030680503260186.post-37952245164575176732012-02-09T03:40:00.001-08:002012-02-19T07:22:19.253-08:00On Wednesday 8th February, we finished our location recce. To do this we had to upload some photos of the locations that we will use and then annotate them on how they would be good and the negative side of them as well. We also finished our props list. This list contains the props that we will be using for our title sequence and why we have chosen them. After this we then made a start on our foley and sound research.GeorgeTruslerMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15071847756960680475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951030680503260186.post-47394616746891072112012-02-09T03:38:00.000-08:002012-02-19T07:24:38.087-08:00On Tuesday 7th February, we went out and collected pictures for our location recce. We used our mobile phones to take pictures of several different locations. We went to a gym and a playground in order to get these photos, and we also went to a classroom as it will feature in our title sequence. We did this because we needed to see whether or not the locations we had chosen would be suitable and safe for our filming of the title sequence.GeorgeTruslerMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15071847756960680475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951030680503260186.post-42208932012502641102012-02-09T03:35:00.000-08:002012-02-19T07:27:07.583-08:00On Monday 6th February, we continued editing our preliminary task video. This video had to contain several elements within it. These were: a package, someone opening a door, a shot/reverse shot and a 180 shot. We incorporated all of these into our filming and then edited them all together to make one finished piece. We then moved on to our prop list that was needed for our main task.GeorgeTruslerMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15071847756960680475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951030680503260186.post-89145094473109007102012-02-06T06:27:00.000-08:002012-02-28T08:24:42.624-08:00On 3/2/12 we started editing our preliminary task video on the final cut express application. To do this, we had to upload the clips that we had filmed, drag them into a folder, watch each clip so that we knew which ones needed to be removed and which ones needed to be edited together using final cut express. We had a problem because we didn't leave enough 'empty space' at the end of each clip meaning that it became quite difficult to add the clips together and edit them from that point.GeorgeTruslerMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15071847756960680475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951030680503260186.post-13403178151654358142012-01-30T06:41:00.001-08:002012-02-28T08:27:11.874-08:00Today I uploaded my video so that I could edit it so that it would look good. I filmed it in the previous lesson following the plan that I had previously made. To do tis, we had to take a camera and film our preliminary task which consisted of a 'con' taking place at a meeting. Once we had done this, we had to plug in the camera to the computer and drag our clips onto the software application called Final Cut Express.GeorgeTruslerMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15071847756960680475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951030680503260186.post-47713710104478514062012-01-26T12:35:00.000-08:002012-02-28T08:50:00.214-08:00Today i created a 25 word pitch about my film, firstly i had to create an idea for a film (the idea is that an underdog wants to achieve greatness in the sport of basketball by playing in the NBA) and from that i could then make the 25 word pitch to the class. Each group then went to the front of the class and presented their pitch to the class. The class would then give them feedback and way s of improvement. Our pitch was well received and therefore there was only one improvement that had to be made which has now been done.GeorgeTruslerMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15071847756960680475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951030680503260186.post-77247871982339222452012-01-25T09:55:00.000-08:002012-02-28T08:18:32.719-08:00On monday 23rd of January I finished the essay and therefore had it ready to be uploaded to my blog. I did the essay on the software called pages. The essay consists of me analysing four different title sequences for four different genres of film. I spoke about how miss-en-scene, cinematography, sound and editing have been used to create certain effects and construct various representations of class, age, gender, ethnicity, disability and sexuality if they are signified.GeorgeTruslerMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15071847756960680475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951030680503260186.post-45389875734479468042012-01-25T09:54:00.001-08:002012-02-28T09:18:27.412-08:00On friday 20th of January I continued working on the essay that had to be 1500 words. Unfortunately, I was unable to finish it during this lesson because we were set a new group task meaning that i would have to finish it in my own time. The group task that was set meant that I had to plan my preliminary task and put it into a storyboard so that i would be ready to start filming the 'package' task.GeorgeTruslerMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15071847756960680475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951030680503260186.post-59605042065212793082012-01-25T09:53:00.000-08:002012-01-25T09:53:39.127-08:00On thursday 19th of january I finished my annotations of the 4 films and therefore had them ready to be uploaded to my blog.

I did this via blogger.com. I will upload all of my work via scribd. All of my work will be uploaded before a given deadline. I also made this blog so that I could post daily on what I have done each day towards the coursework in this subject. I have also made this so that I can access it no matter where I am so that if i ever need to edit or upload something, I can do it.GeorgeTruslerMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15071847756960680475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951030680503260186.post-40715073756198177272012-01-25T09:43:00.000-08:002012-02-09T04:07:52.829-08:00Today I sent out my questionnaire to 20 different people so that i could gather some data to help me when it comes to developing my own film title sequence. I have sent them to a range of people that are different demographically. By this, I mean that people of different age groups and genders will be filling out this questionnaire so that it isnt bias to one particular group in society. This means that there is a good chance that the answers to the questions will vary.GeorgeTruslerMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15071847756960680475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951030680503260186.post-35278729070075948432012-01-24T06:34:00.000-08:002012-02-09T04:04:59.833-08:00Today I made a questionnaire on survey monkey so that I could get a good view of what peoples favourite components of a film are and could therefore use this in my own production. The survey consisted of 10 questions each about the persons demographics and psychographics as well as their favourite components. The survey will be sent to about 20 people, therefore i can gain a good understanding of what is the most prefered option for each question over a range of different age groups.GeorgeTruslerMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15071847756960680475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951030680503260186.post-73627925132592707392012-01-18T04:11:00.001-08:002012-02-09T04:03:28.966-08:00Today I started annotating my print screens of 4 films title sequences. The 4 films are Catch Me If You Can, Se7en, James Bond Casino Royale and Fast& Furious. There are 4 print screens for each film.<br />
Throughout the annotating I spoke about representations that had been constructed via mise en scene, cinematography, sound and editing. I also mentioned how through the title sequences, we can get a very clear idea of what the film is mainly about over different genres. I then though about what kind of techniques I could put in my own title sequence from these four sequences.GeorgeTruslerMediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15071847756960680475noreply@blogger.com1
