One of the problems; we couldn't get the doll in same position from where we left of in the last scene. So we had to start again, we did not have enough time to start again. This is why we came up with using lego then we could stick it down when was finished with it. Also lego is easier to work with, but once showing others what we had done, we then decided that lego was not related to out title sequence in anyway, so we changed it again. So now we are using ourselves and doing it in life form in stead of animation or lego. </span></span></span>soph.edenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06644955903983097912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359194943727132805.post-58167913283147658192012-01-30T06:29:00.000-08:002012-01-30T06:29:34.496-08:00Testing for media studies on stairs<iframe width="459" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Yv8-XunYNw0?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>soph.edenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06644955903983097912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359194943727132805.post-68197129894868778282012-01-27T02:45:00.001-08:002012-03-08T03:48:23.299-08:00Testing Stop Motion<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PPl47ajha0E?fs=1" width="459"></iframe><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial;">Today me a Kiera went down to welling and filmed the first scene that would be in the film, of Sarah Bailey holding the leaflet saying <em>'Auditions Today' </em>this will be the last shot of the title sequence.This was down the road from the school next to welling outside the church/looks like a bingo hall. This was a perferct location cause it looks like a theatre from the outside and we only needed the outside and the doors of the building. </span><br />
<br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">Today in lesson we filmed some of the bed scene. We also filmed the bit before where there is a little girl playing with the dolls. Whilst filming the bed scene we came up with a few problems. there is not enough in the frame. There is too much space in the shot.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Arial;"><b><u><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">During todays lessons we came up with a number of problems. We have scrapped the whole idea of using a doll. Only because, last lesson it took us an hour to get the doll in the right position from where we took the last shot. We have changed idea to using lego, the reason we have chosen to use this, is every time we finish a shot we can leave the lego person in the same place we can leave everything where it is. Also it will be easier to make back grounds, shops and houses. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"> Today we also found that we should start booking the lamps that we need, because going to get them before the lesson was not always wise, because they might be using them for their own lesson. Also the camera as well. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"> So as of today we have started booking then items that we need so that we know we have them for every single lesson. Also, as of the events today we are running a little behind, we have made a schedule to see what days we can stay back after school. We don't all have to stay back we only need to people at a time. So we have changed around different days.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"> </span></span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">When it came to doing our tests, we came up with a few problems which we had to improve. We discussed of ways to change objects and lighting to help with our title sequence. Below are a list of problems we came up with:<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<ul type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-list: l3 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The lighting: we have to get the lighting the same in every single shot because of continuity. It has to be <i>High Key Lighting </i>because the photos are of a lady walking through the streets during the day. One idea was to do it outside, the reason we couldn't do this outside is because the lighting would change and we need the lighting to be the same in every single shot because of continuity. So we came up with the idea of doing it in a classroom but then the lights in the classroom are flicker lights. We wouldn't be able to use this because using a <i>DSLR, </i>this would pick up every time the light flickers. Which means each picture would have a different lighting. <i> </i></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-list: l4 level1 lfo2; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The object (the person playing <i>Sarah Bailey</i>): we found a few problems with this, being that we are doing stop motion and we have to take about 1000 photos to make this look good and for it to work, we would need everything about the person to be the same, the hair the make up the clothing, everything. So we came to the conclusion of using a barbie doll. This way we can do whatever we need to do to it and it will still stay the same. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo3; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> The background: doing the tests shots today with the lamp and the flash on the camera, there was a shine on the paper and because they were printed from the computer. So we came up with the idea of painting a background our self. Being that we have someone in our group that does art as an A-Level we thought that this could be a very successful ideal. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo4; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> </span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Location: our location is now a room with the light turned off and a lamp directly over the frame. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo5; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Camera shots: bird’s eye view, directly over the frame.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is our test for stop motion. We used a bottle and moved it slightly. From doing this test we have discovered that this project is going to take a lot of work. This video is only six seconds long and we had to take over fourty pictures. Our title sequence has to be two minutes long. This shows that we are going to have to take over a thousand photos just to make this. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When were doing this is we didn't see any problems, but when we watched in back there was a list of problems. </span><br />
<br />
<ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The lighting changed in some of the pictures, because there were flicker lights in the room where we took the pictures.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kiera's hand was in some of the shots because we didn't leave her enough time to move her hand before we took the photo.</span></li>

Our film is about a woman named Sarah Bailey (played by Idina Menzel) in her thirties, she had a tough time trying to pursue her dream of being on the West end and be famous for doing something she loved. Until she stumbles across a newspaper article, saying that it is holding auditions to play the leading roll of Elphaba in the West End play <i>'Wicked'. </i>She immediately sees this as her chance to make it to the West End she jumps at the opportunity and leaves no time in making the phone call to schedule her audition time. The day comes for her to make her audition, she goes there with all confidence in herself. She sings her heart hoping that this is it, that this is her chance, just to be told by the director Martin Smith (played by Hugh Janaro) that she isn't what they are looking for. She gets upset and runs out of the theatre, breaking down when she gets outside thinking that she will never get a chance like this again. She believes that she will never be good enough to get on the West End. So she decides to give up trying. To make her mood even better it starts to heavily rain she is drowned in wetness. She wishes her life away, and wishes she could live her life like a musical, hoping that it would end happy. As she is trying to hitch a cab she gets splashed by a passing car, which drove through a puddle. Whilst wishing her life to be different, and getting splashed by a car. There is a struck of lightning above her head. This changes something in which will all be discovered later on. She wakes up the next day not knowing that her life was any different so she carries on with her day. Until she tries to leave her apartment door which she finds herself being attached with questions...'<i>how does it feel'...'do you think you'll be the next best thing in the West End'...'are you coping with all the shock'. </i>She finally starts to question what is going on, she is very confused by this point and starts to realise that something in her life has changed. She carries on with her day, trying to figure out what it is. She gets some very strange looks while she is doing her daily routines she bumps into a handsome young man that she surprisingly recognises, he happens to be the director that was holding auditions for the part of Elphaba. She starts talking to him, starts getting to know him and eventually starts to fall for him. Still getting swarmed everyday with questions from people, and people asking for her signature. She starts to ask herself if this is the life she even wants to live. She gets bored of the fame, gets bored of the life that she is currently living and tries every way possibly to go back to how she use to be. Realising that she would lose everything, including Martin. She goes to work one day finally realising that this definitely is not the life that she wants. So she quits the theatre business and walks out. Only to find that when she gets outside it's a massive down pour of rain exactly like the day she got rejected from playing the part of Elphaba. She hails a cab, gets in and just breaks down. The cab driver recognises her, and asks for her autograph and she cries...'<i>no you cannot have my autograph i am just a normal girl....i want my life back to the way it was. I WISH i was me again'. </i>She goes home and just goes to bed, still wishing for her life to be normal. She wakes up the next day, no reporters. No posters of her around london. She goes to the theatre and finds Martin, she then asks him out on a date.soph.edenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06644955903983097912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359194943727132805.post-3445036643780615152011-12-07T04:30:00.000-08:002011-12-07T04:30:15.653-08:00<div id="__ss_10497360" style="width: 425px;"><strong style="display: block; margin: 12px 0 4px;"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/SophEden/warner-bros-10497360" title="Warner bros">Warner bros</a></strong><object height="355" id="__sse10497360" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=warnerbros-111207061444-phpapp02&stripped_title=warner-bros-10497360&userName=SophEden" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/><embed name="__sse10497360" src="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=warnerbros-111207061444-phpapp02&stripped_title=warner-bros-10497360&userName=SophEden" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">D.O.B-Death: 1920-1996 </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Bass studied in NYC Art Students League. Worked as a freelance graphic designer/commercial artist. 1946 he moved to LA to get away from creative constraights. 1954 Otto preminger invited him to design the poster for his movie he was so impressed he asked him to do the title sequence. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Saul Bass is best known for his use of simple geometric shapes and their symbolism. Often a single dominant image stands alone to deliver a powerful message. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Bass's posters and titles had an uncanny ability to capture the mood of a film with simple shapes and images. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Bass was heavily influenced by bauhaus and russian constructivism- 1923.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Between 1970 & 1986 Bass only worked for a handful of films.</span>soph.edenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06644955903983097912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359194943727132805.post-62417860853434250092011-12-07T02:29:00.000-08:002011-12-07T02:30:21.735-08:00Narrative.<u><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aim: To understand what narrative</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">is, the role it plays with in moving image texts and how narratives are structured.</span></u><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><u><strong>What is Narrative?</strong></u></span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Structure of the story </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Plot </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The way the story is told </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Linear and Non-Linear </span></li>
</ul><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Key to understanding. Narrative is knowing the difference between story and plot. </span><br />

<u>Costume Hair and Make- up</u><br />
Costume hair and make-up act as and instant indicator of a character's personality, status & job.<br />
<u><br />
</u><br />
<u>Facial Expressions</u><br />
Facial expressions provide a clear indicator of how someone is feeling. A close up camera shot would make the facial expression the most important aspect of the scene, it highlights the mood for the moment.<br />
<br />
Using a wider shot would not give a clear view of the characters emotions, however in a group shot you should still be able to get the mood from the variety of facial expressions. It is important to take into consideration the positioning of the characters & objects within a frame.<br />
<u><br />
</u><br />
<u>Lighting</u><br />
Lighting & colour can be used to achieve a variety of effects.<br />
<br />
Low Key Lighting<br />
