What is a corprate/promotional video?
A corprate video is a video which higlights a buisness and what it does.

A promotional video is video that is used to promote the subject they are talking about.

A good corprate video
A corprate video isa video which shows view what a buisness can promote. In a typical video you see voice overs and interview highlighting the good aspects of company. In a corprate video the language is very formal and  informative giving loads of postitive news in a short period of time about there company.

A good promotional video
A good promotional video is a video which overload the viewer with interesting and infromative things. When watching a promotional video we are given straight facts and are informed about things which a viewer would like to hear, the video is basically a lengthy advert which promtes the subject.

A poor corprate video
A poor corprate video is when it displays very little information on the company, another reason which makes a bad video is the sound of the voice over, if a voice over is low then information can't be given out and the view gets distracted by other things as the video is not entertaining enough.

Photo Composition

Task 1 : Portrait and landscape

In Portrait and landscape pictures the same affect of painting is used, instead of turning your canvas you turn the camera depending on what your subject is. When taking pictures you need to think about framing, framing is when you position your subject. Another important skill is including composition, compostion is when the elements around the picture are arranged.


Task 2: Rule of Thirds

The rule of thirds is a guidline which is used for visual images such as paintings, photographs and designs. The guidline splits the shape into nine pieces this is to help a photographer take the picture using this technique. It is important that a image which has a subject is one third down as the human eye can only adjust to one third of the page. The human eye is naturally drawn to a point about two thirds up.The main reason for observing the rule of thirds is to discourage placement of the subject at the center,when photographing o people it is common to line the body up with a vertical line that are on your screen, and having the person's eyes in line with a horizontal one. When photographing a still subject who is not directly facing the camera,

Task 3: Diagonal Rule

This rule applys to linear object such as roads,lakes and fences (anything that may have a a clear straight face) which is placed diagonally. The reason the pictures are diagonal is to add affect on the picture as it make it more interesting to look at. This also applys to to images with fewer straight lines such as the cost.

Task 4: Symmetry

Symmetry is an affective technique as it can make for a very eye catching composition especially in situations where they are not expected.
In this picture i took i believe that the symmetry was well used and made it look affective and nice to the human eye.

Task 5: Balancing Elements

Balancing the elements is when you place an object off-centre to make an picture more entertaining. to make the image look good it is important that you include two subjects the main and the secondary image, in the image above the main subject is the phone followed by the girl. the girl is simply in the picture to liven the image without her the image feels empty.
I believe that i used the skill well to pull off the balancing technique make the image look good.

Continuity Editing Exercise (Mr Clarke)

1) What Scenario were you asked to work to?

In this exercise we were asked to make a clip using the "180 Degree" rule followed by the "Rule of Thirds" and Match on Action. In this clip it had to be a encounter between someone in an interview situation but we had to fit in the three type's of filmaking techniques.
The 180 degree rule is a key part of film making it is essential that you have an imaginary line called the axis. The importance of the axis is, that it allows the two characters’ to connect by keeping the camera on the same side. When filming the beginning and the ending we used match on action.
Rule of thirds is a guidline that is used mainly in photography, paintings and visual-Images this technique was used because it helps create more emotion (depending what your genre is) and more entertaining.
Match on action also known as "Cutting on action" is a technique where the editor cuts from one shot into another which matches the previous shot. The good thing about this techniqe is that it allows two clips shot at different times to merge together to be come on big shot.

2) What were the key media language skills you were trying to demonsrate?

As a group we tried to make sure that we uses film editing language to make our piece of work better in order to appeal to audience's who may view our work.the Camera language use at the start was very little and very un-appeling to viewer, due to this we had to do re-shoots and more editing to make it more convential towards the task which was set.

3) Who did you work with to plan and film?

   i worked as a group involving two other people and we worked together to plan our short edit clip for the exercise. When plainning we used storyboards to help break down the way the clip was going to be shot or edited. When filming the clip it seemed to be easy as it followed the planing schedule well.

 

 

 

 

4) How successful was this grouping?

   When it came down to grouping it was okay. As a group we communicated well together and helped eachother in different aspects of our work if needed. The only flaw which was detected in my group was the lack of organisation between eachother well communicated well but it faultered dur to this lack of organisation, due to this we made more work for are selves. Overall the grouping could of been better.

5) How did you use your creativity to develop the scenario?

With the scenario that was given we used are creativity well to make a humourous twist in the serious plot. In our story we had a police interview and the whole interigation was about a kidnapped. due to the word kidnap it helps set the serious atmosphere when viewing the clip, the big twist in the plot is that the abduction was not of a human but really a Cat. This took some time to make up as we were struggling for creativity in my group.

6) How use was your storyboard? What did you change and what did you stick to?

At the beginning of my clip we followed the storyboard details exactly but due to lack of convential skill/camera languge had to be changed to suit our teacher who was marking our exercise.
We stuck to the beginning part of the storyboard and the middle part of the story as they both worked well together, whilst on the last 2 sheets we had to change certain things like the type of shot to provide more variety in are camera language, when we done this it helped my group more because everything flowed more.
