Jib Testing

Mini Jib Test Shoot: On the 15th of November, we went out to shoot autumn colours on a piece of equipment called a jib. The jib allows the camera to move from Worm’s-eye view to Bird’s-eye view and vice versa. We went down by the river to shoot some footage so that we would get the morning sunlight reflecting off of the water. At first, it was tricky getting the balance right on the equipment because the camera weighed more than the handle bar. We figured out eventually that it would look better if we lowered the camera very slowly due to the fact that it would be easier to keep the camera stable, if we wanted the footage to have a fast transition, we would speed it up in post-production. If I were to shoot this project again I would want there to be a clearer storyline so that editing all the pieces together wouldn’t be as confusing. I would also like to get more shots of the sunlight bouncing off the water because the Lumetri colour palette would look far better over the top of...

Understanding a Project

How to get a better understanding of a project: The main purpose of a research project is to gain a wide range of information that can lead to further comers of a field of your thesis. Doing extensive research during a project can be very difficult, especially doing both Primary and Secondary research. "A research paper presents an original thesis, or purpose statement, about a topic and develops that thesis with information gathered from a variety of sources". Primary: 'Research that you conduct yourself' Secondary: 'Research that you find from another source' Because there a lot of different types of primary and secondary research, a way to get a lot of useful research done will be to do four of each. For example; Primary: Film analysis Vox Pop Interview  Survey  Secondary: Books Newspapers Websites Online sources For a project like finding out what a group of people think about a certain product, opt for something such as a Vox...

Logos

The point of having a good logo is to get a point across to the target audience. The reason that I have picked these particular logos is because the company has used illusion. They are also going to be more memorable. As you can see, the one on the right is for beats headphones, from a normal point of view the logo looks like a "B". But from another perspective it looks like someone wearing the beats.  The second logo I have chosen is for LG phone company, again they have used the letters "L" and "G" which is the name of their brand yet if you look closer you see a face. They have used a deep red for the colour because it doesn't stand out to much that it would seem like an eye saw but it actually makes it more pleasing to the eye. The logo for Amazon really stood out to me because it looks very basic and not that pleasing to the eye, but as you can see, the only thing in colour is the arrow going from "A" to "Z". This...
