Single camera

Production diary

Day 1: On my first day we learning about what a single camera involves. Then later that day we had to find a scene that involves one camera and explain what is happening in that scene and how do we know there using a single camera.

Day 2: We watching a video clip from the film whiplash, to see why the editor won an oscar for the particular scene we watched. The reason it won is because the shots. Where it should a long shot of both the people talking and the shots got closer as they like each other the people, but then it goes back to long shot as they have a little argument, and then it does the same again going from long shot to close up to their faces and then the important moment where the lady foots touches the mans foot.

Day 3: We have been given an assignment, which was to create our very own film. The film is only to have a single camera involved. The film can be any genre and the film can be as long as it wants.

Day 4: I came up of an idea for film which was going to be a zombie film, but I realized that it wouldn't work, as the zombies would need a lot of makeup and the film was going to take place in an abandoned house and an old forest, but it would take too much time and the film won't make any sense.

Day 5: I came up with another idea which was a cat film. It was going to be about a cat's life and from the cat's point of view as it would look like the camera is first person playing as a cat.

Day 6: I began filming my film on Thursday which was my day off. The equipment that I borrowed from the college was a go pro camera and a H4 zoom. The reason I borrowed the these equipment is because the go pro camera is good for a first person camera shot, as mine will be in first person as a cat. The reason I borrowed a H4 zoom is to pick up the audio of the cats meowing and purring.

Day 7: I downloaded all of the footage onto the editing computer in the editing sweep. I began to edit my film, but I didn't have enough footage to finish off the film, so I thought I will need to finish the film next week to get more footage, but I've began by editing my film and I've already done 15 seconds of the film.

Day 8: Once again I borrowed the same equipment. To finish my film about a cat's life. I manage to get all the footage I need on Thursday by finishing it off. I didn't need as much this time as I only recorded like a few videos.

Day 9: I downloaded the footage on the editing computer, and added some of the footage to the film.

Day 10: I finished the film and I've exported the video, but unfortunately I couldn't upload the work to canvas as I didn't have all my work done and didn't have all the work with me.

Day 11: I uploaded the video and all of the research to canvas, So Andy can mark my work to see if I have passed or not.

Script

       PS4 advert

The boy is sitting in the living room on his phone while plying a game on his phone. He looks really bored. A close up shot of the boy eyes and close up of the phone screen with the boy playing the game.

Boy

I'm so bored. There is like literally nothing to do.

The boy has look around his bedroom, and tries to find something to entertain him self.

Boy

There be something in here to play with.

The boy finds a PS4 in the wooden box and starts pulling in the socket to the wall.

The boy starts playing on the console and I will get a close up of the ps4 control to show it is a PS4 advert.

I will get a long shot of the boy playing the game on the TV, and he will be facing the back of me.

I will get a close up of his face concentrating on the TV, and I will get a close up of the TV of the game he is playing.

Production diary

Day 1: On our first day we were watching PS4 adverts and compare which of these adverts are the best and why. Then later that day we got into a group of two and started planning what our ideas are going to be for our advert.

Day 2: On our 2nd day we were talking about swot which is what are our strengths and weaknesses during production and practical. the opportunities that practical activities offer and what the threats are during production. For example the risks that could happen (falling over wires).

Day 3: We were finding research about PEGI and about the gaming industry about all the money they make and talking about which games were banned and why they were banned.

Day 4: We were talking about what attracts people's and companies attention to buy games and talking about how gamers get their game out there to the public. For example posters and TV adverts.

Day 5: We were discussing what our SWOT is in other words our strengths and weaknesses during production. The opportunities that it offers, like what type of job it offers, and the threats that could happen during production.

Day 6: We were planning on where our film is going to take place, we were thinking of filming Ralph's family, if I here feedback from Ralph when we are going to film.

Day 7: We were creating the script and the story board. How the film is going to be set out and how the camera angles are going to be shot in the film.

Day 8: I had to change the idea for the advert and had to work seperatly because time was running out and none of the work was getting done. So now I am working seperatly, also I was ask to do a focus group to give them feedback about their PS4 advert, on what was good, what was bad and what could of been improved. I was doing the focus group with Aimee and Shannon and talking about Lauren and Sam's advert.

Day 9: I have borrowed a black magic camera to film my PS4 advert. The location will take place at my house Eaglescliffe, and the actor who will star in the film will be my cousin Jay Masuda.

Day 10: I have started my editing on PS4 advert. For the audio I am going to use is the soundtrack of Fleetwood mac the chain. The video was a little bit over one minute but by only 10 seconds. I had to use the curves of the colouring to brighten up the video clips to make them stand out and to see what is happening in the video clips. I would admit my camera skills weren't the best as my hand was shaking a lot.

Day 10: I managed to finish the film and I have uploaded the film onto youtube. I have also used the audio of the PS4. to make it look like an PS4 advert.

Day 11: I have filmed my focus group. the people that were in my focus group are Lauren, Aimee, Sam and Ryan. They said they liked the film, but the only thing that I needed to improve on was to stop shaking the camera and keep the camera still.

Evaluation: Through out this assignment I have found this hard and stressful. The reason for this is because I started to work with Ralph at first and things were going well. Until Ralph and I weren't working as a team and wasn't getting the work done, and time was running out as Ralph was leaving everything to the last minute. He wanted to film his family do the film, but I didn't hear anything from him from weeks about whats happening with the filming. So I chose to work by myself and do my own film. I thought working by myself was easy as i got everything done on time and didn't need to argue with people with getting the project done and disagreeing with them about the film. I had filming and editing film by myself as I wanted to do stuff my way and without people changing my idea and without people saying why they don't want to show my project because it wasn't good enough.

filmmaking brief

Ideas
Our idea was to have a family playing on the PS4 looking happy and are having fun while playing all PS4 games. This was our best idea. The other ideas that we had were, when a man got back from work and feels tired and fed up and starts to play on the PS4 to make him feel happier and showing he is enjoying PS4 games. Our other idea was showing all the PS4 games, but we realised that this could be copyrighting if we went with this idea. So the idea we are going for the advert is the family playing the game together. I have had to change the idea for the advert as me and Ralph are working seperatly now as none of the work is getting done now and I thought my idea would be that a child is playing on his phone but he is feeling bored, Until he starts to find an PS4 in loft and starts to play on the games, and he starts to enjoy playing the games. The only problem for this advert is that I don't have an PS4 so my idea was to use my Xbox one but not to get my Xbox one in the shot as this is meant to be a PS4 advert, but I will catch the actor playing the video game on the TV.

SWOT
Strength: My strengths during this production would be using video cameras, video editing and photography. The reason for this is because I like filming and taking pictures and I like doing editing because I can do my own ideas and do what I want without other people telling me what to do, and I like being creative.

Weaknesses: My weaknesses would be image editing and graphic narrative. The reason for this is because it takes a lot of detail to create images and takes a lot of knowledge on what the images are going to look like.

Opportunities: The opportunities that this assignment could give us is working with new technology such as how to work new cameras, new video editing skills and working with different types of computers.

Threats: The threats that could happen during this production could be the wires could  get in the way and people could trip over. The spacing could be tight and small and not enough room for people and that's where people can get hurt. People could cancel the film and say do another day to do the filming which will take longer to do.

Research
This video will be aimed at people who love PS4, people who love to play games or people who specifically like PS4 games. People from the age of 12 to 22. The gender will mostly be males, but females do enjoy playing PS4 games. PS4 is for males and female students who are in secondary school and university. Over 18.8 million people play on video games from the age of 6 to 64 in the UK. On average gamers aged between 11 and 64 spend playing games for 8.8 hours per week. 24% of consoles are used in the UK, 11% are handhelds, 24% of the population spend time on the computers, 21% of the population have smart phones and 16% are tablets. These are all devices that are used in the UK used by the public. 58% of males play on video games, where as 42% of females play on video games, but 15-24 year old males are the largest age and gender demographic. There are 36.4 million game players in the UK, which 57% of the total population. 61% of them spend money on games. The average annual spend per player is £80. PEGI stands for Pan European Game Information.

Production management
During this production the resources that we will need are camera equipment to film the advert, a tripod to hold the camera still, we will need actors to do some acting in this short advert. We will also need to have PS4 console and games to show the audience that it is a PS4 advert. We would also need a computer to do some video editing to turn it into a TV advert. The time would normally take us about 2 days as this is a one minute advert. The entire production thing will take one day, but the other day will an emergency just incase things don't go to plan during the filming. It would take us an extra day to do the video editing. the cost of the film will be expensive as we will need to rent out equipment such as a camera, tripod and maybe even hire staff such as camera operator, video editor etc. To help us with the film and we will need to hire actors which cost us is well so they can perform in the TV advert. During this film there will be no racial violence or racial language that will offend the audience. We are not looking for particular people from a higher class or people who are just white folk. This appears to people for all ages, all people from a different class and people from different backgrounds such as religion and from other countries. There will be no copyright during this production as we won't be taking images and videos off the internet as this we will be creating our very own, but we will be downloading music from the archive so it isn't copyrighting and stealing other peoples work.


Images

In this image they have used a green background to get the blue colour in the background. They used photography to take the picture of the console, and they have also added font onto to the image. They would have used Photoshop to add the background colour and the font. The job roles that were involved with this image are photographer and image designer.

In this image you can see a load of zombies and with background. The way they would of created this poster would be drawing the images first and then editing the images on photoshop to turn the images into a games poster.








Equipment
The equipment that I am going tot use for this short advert is:

• A black magic camera because they have good quality image quality that makes the images stand out and look very clear to see.
• A zoom H4 to pick up the audio

These equipment's will help our film to stand out and to make the advert very entertaining to watch. We would also be needing cast. The cast that are going to star in this film is my cousin Jay Pinkney who will be the actor in the film.

Location
The location that the film is going to take place in in Ingelby Barwick in Ralph Smith's house. As his family is willing to take part in the film production. We are going to have at least 5 characters or 4.
