FMP Development

FMP Development

1st Idea - Documentary piece

Factual, figures and define the cause of obsessive drinking in UK
How they manage to control the extensive spending money and what they do to earn to waste it on drinking.

Strengths - Shows the impact of obsessive drinking.
Weaknesses - May not find anyone at the worst of times.
opportunities - help people understand
threats - could capture something that person wouldn't want shown.

Demographic - teenagers to mid adults, elderly wouldn't agree with obsessive drinking as they are from different generation and believe in good morals.

This website of research clearly shows a problem in the UK : https://www.alcoholconcern.org.uk/help-and-advice/statistics-on-alcohol/

My influence is experience when I go out I see it happening but never would I go as far as people I've seen.

focus group of young quote from the above website : 

Every year in the UK, more than 10,000 fines for being drunk and disorderly are issued to young people aged 16 to 19

Almost half of young people excluded from school in the UK are regular drinkers

Just 12% of 11 to 15-year olds said they had drunk alcohol in the previous week in 2011 – down from 26% a decade earlier

2nd idea - Promotion Video and Mayhem night club

Promote a nightclub

Strengths - Good images, behind DJ and in VIP Booths etc.
Weaknesses - Timing of the night.
Opportunities - with some great images I know I can get.
Threats - other people getting in way while filming a specific shot.

Demographic - Club lovers, non club lovers who might want to join.

This website clearly shows a marketing space for Club goers :
http://www.ibisworld.co.uk/market-research/nightclubs.html

percentages show the annual growth that has developed over years and the promotion piece I might find easier the 1st and 3rd idea, so this idea is what I am looking to make for my FMP

3rd Idea - Fashion co-operate video

Strengths - Helps gain  confidents with girls
Weaknesses - Money
opportunities - To get creative, with my own sense of knowledge and enjoyment
threats - It may not be enjoyable to watch

Demographic - Shop lovers of all ages, only girls and women and low self esteem girls who may want to change but don't know how to. This demographic is going to be in the style of an 18 age making it sensible, cool and colours. This is why:

Quote from link below : More than 90 percent of girls – 15 to 17 years – want to change at least one aspect of their physical appearance, with body weight ranking the highest.

15 - 17 want to make that change, making it for 18 will help them grow maturity and maybe even give them the conventional cool influences now - a - days.

This website shows why girls have low self esteem due to the appearance or want to improve themselves :
http://www.heartofleadership.org/statistics-on-body-image-self-esteem-parental-influence/

Way I see it what better way to help them is by creating a co-operate video to help them make a change and show them what they can do to help them selves or others then need to be.

skills evaluation

An evaluation of different kind of brief i have worked on are music video, single camera drama, tv advert and multi camera News show i worked with Maddie Govier on most of my productions. We both work really well together have come up with some good ideas together. Multi Camera News show i was in a team and i was acting director of the production my team members were Maddie, Frankie and Ellis. The team worked better then expected and the result of the show was really good. My communication skills have definitely improved over my time here and people done really well to follow instructions.

The video formates i use and find is best is HD 1920 X 1080 i used this because i find HD has the best captured image and very good quality.

How much information was given for each brief and how was it presented to you?

• Single Camera Drama - we were asked to build up our ideas by doing an Ideas generation,  pre production, production and post production and to evaluate our work after production.
• multi camera News Show - We were asked to work in a group, all had to create our own piece of work to contribute to our show. I done idea generation making up mood boards, helping script and on set design etc.

How useful/helpful was this information?

• Single Camera Drama - The information was helpful as were given sheet to work on, questions of the pre production so wasn't started from scratch. So that made it a whole lot easier.
  Multi Camera News Show- working in a committed team makes it a lot easier as you didn't have to worry about everything, pre production was again easy and every body done what they needed to.
  
  

Did it lead to any specific successes?

• improved communication skills

• Team work 
• Well done production

2. How good a communicator are you?

• On a professional level i have done so working at the NHS which obviously your tune changes, however working on a production set is a lot stressful then people can imagine and instead of talking and interpreting what people tell you can lead to miss led comuniaction and end up shouting.
• At first on multi camera i may have took a little time to get used to but at the end of it i was praised on my communication skills improving and everybody work well and the production went smoothly

What styles and strategies of communication and negotiation have you adopted for each of your briefs?

• Emails, Phone calls and Call Sheets and simple text messages for meeting arrangements. Each briefs are similar.

What was the impact of each of these?

• Communication worked well, people adapted their roles firmly as so did i. People on set were actin professional, there were no faults of communication as me and maddie done well keeping to schedule and working out days we could and couldn't do.

How confident are you dealing with clients?

• I am a confident person i have other experience out side the media course, and if i feel strongly about the subject and i know i can handle it i will be straight to the point and honest.

3. Importing and editing footage?

• I prefer to use SD as it allot quicker and simpler. Importing footage may have had a few down points as me and maddie had trouble trying to upload for various of reasons.

What are the best formats to shoot on and how do you set up a project to match it?

• I use Canon 600D as it’s something im used to and I think the best format it HD which is 1920 x 1080. I once used hand held which i found pretty easy and i liked the amount of effects and options on it.

What would happen if you got these settings wrong?

• You might have to re-shoot your footage or you would have to re-do the set up for your project, along with pre production etc.

What happens when you compress footage? Why would you do this?

• compressing footage looses quality, you would do this for quick timing. however if you would rather wait longer which may be recommended, you'll have better quality and I'm sure people would rather better quality and wait longer then not.

What do you need to consider when exporting video?

• sometimes need to consider how much memory space it takes up as if you don’t compress your file then it would usually take up a lot of space, which i have experience with not enough memory.

4. How good are you at production?

• Production is what i prefer, being on active side of it.

How are you at shooting?

• I think i’m good at shooting, sometimes watching other peoples videos and i look how they down theirs i think how i would do it differently which may improve the film, even my own production, but lack of time is very compressed as we couldn't go back and recreate that shot, so in future with more time and more resources i could improve my shooting a lot more.

How are you at editing?

• Im OK at editing, i do enjoy it on Final Cut and only just got the hang of Special effects I think there is definitely room for improvement on my editing skills.

Give specific examples. Did the type of brief or your understanding of technology impact on this project?

• briefs definitely helped my work and understanding of technology that is needed, when things get complicated brief definitely help me by making is clear of what it is I actually need to do, helps me organise and structure my work. Technology can be complicated when your confused but no only briefs but teachers and college friends are always there to support me and each other.

What is the project you think represents your best work?

• Multi camera drama - During the production there were ups and downs but working effectively in a team we created a good atmosphere with onset and out set production.

What about the worst?

• Corporate Video - if I could I'd definitely change the production as a whole, different client, different area, different camera and maybe more time as I would say I definitely cut my self short with this.

As for a matured audience this is the perfect gift or home gift.

Perfect gift for good friend.

Editing view point - Yr 2

Movie: Saw II

SAW 

Pre- or post viewing conditions: In a room with a group full of people, pillow in my hand waiting and ready as i'll ever be.

What happened before: Understanding what type of film this is, I'm can't watch gory films, which make me feel sick to my stomach.

After I saw the movie: I promised myself i'd never watch any films like this again,

The conditions of reception was in a medium sized room, twisted gripping horror movie grabbed everybody's attention and was hardly any space. Forcing the Tv to be watched.

I have a big fear of needles, completely terrified of them.. when taking heroin or anything like that on screen it makes me feel dizzy almost like I'm imagining the effects being passed on to me.


Movie: Human centipede.
This is round the time it came out, no intentions of watching the full movie however watched 1 minuet of this film, i thought it was absolutely disgusting. To the point it effects me and actually made me throw up when mentioned by a school pal.

Pre- or post viewing conditions: In a room with a group full of people.


GORYS EFFECTS ME THE MOST, WHATEVER THE CONDITIONS OF VIEWING IT'LL NEVER DEFUSE MY THOUGHTS OF IT.
