Infographic

This is my Infographic for behaviour in the classroom. It was meant to be the date from the quiz we took last week but this week I was ill so i didn't get the data so I made it up.

Investigating Type and Layout

Different type of shots in moving images

For The Bench group we have different shot's from different angles and highs. The reason there are different angles because instead of just seeing a scene just in the centre we can see them from different angels like a sky view or low view, A close up to a talking character or side angels focusing on the further person or which angels to see the other person. It make a film better seeing it from so many angels instead off focusing on just one view.

180 degree Rule

The 180 degree rule is used when recording a scene. It's to show two people from a centre view and 2 side views.

From the side view you are only focusing on the person further away from you, Its the same for both sides.

The 180 degree rule is when you recorded two people ever standing or sitting facing each other or just next to them. where their ever standing or sitting there is a line across them, If you record on one side of that line you can't go over the line otherwise you will break the 180 degree rule.

When using this rule you can not break it because if you do it will end up looking odd. Recording from the centre is always ok but from the sides you've got to do it right.

Two people standing  in front of each other, recoding the centre on the left side of the two people. Now that you have chosen your side you need to stay on that side when recoding the side shots. If you go on the other side and recorded the side shot it going to look like their standing in the wrong places from where they were from the centre shots.

short film with different video angels

In this short film that our group filmed, we used 3 different shot angles using the 180 degree rule.

We use a centre close up, So we only got both of their head and half of their upper body. The reason we did this is to we could see which side they are sitting and it look better because there're only sat down so it looks better just getting a close up on just their faces.

We then did a right side shot mostly focusing on Aaron. We did this because when I edited the video it helps shows that from the centre to the side filming it shows that he's sitting in the same place and it focus on him.

With the left side it's mostly the same it show that their sitting on the right side just like the first clip and that we're focusing on the person further on the other side of the Aaron.

reflective blog post of postcard and production processes

Bath Abbey Postcard

Looking back at making the postcard I think when looking up different postcards I think next time maybe go with something a bit more colourful or brighter. But I do like the postcard I did chose.

I chose a old postcard from Salem of the witch house, Which I tried to use as the idea for my postcard.  New Orlean base on the Mardi Gras which again looked old but had more colour on it and the another postcard from Salem more like a painting of a church with the path way.

Finding the right background for the postcard was easy, Adding the colours to the photo was difficult. Since I'm so used to photoshop I did have some trouble with it but at the end I finally go the colours on. I did use the same colour from the which house for the church. The sky I did try to use the colour from the salem postcard but ended up just using brown and silver (Brown the sky, Silver the clouds) But it never looked right but I just left it but it did look ok. At the end it wasn't quite how I image it to be, Not what I had vision, But for a first time it was good.

What I would do differently?

Differently I would like to have redone the sky and find a way to be able to keep the sky how it is but just to be able to change it to the same colours as the sky in the The old witch house, Salem postcard.

Does it appeal to your choose audiences?

I think it does appeal to my chosen audiences because I tried to make it an older design and I think older people would like this especially if their also religious they'll like the Bath Abbey in the background.

Secondary Research & Why both Primary and Secondary are effective/importance

Both Primary and Secondary are used to get information but in different ways. 

Primary Research is when people use surveys interview, questionaries or even group to get information from different people in interview or group gathering whereas Secondary Research they use the internet or magazines to find out information.

With Primary research asking people in interview about media is effective because you are asking an actual person not just using a computer to get information from, Another great way is in groups because that way you get more opinion and different answers. The importance of this is that this way you get people honest option and it looks better when people know that a company has asked people in person.

Secondary Research is also an effective because it uses the internet and magazines which has lots of information. With magazines you get peoples opinion depending on what the magazine is. Using the internet is also effectiveness because you can get information about places or objects fast and definitely get a lot of history. Also it helps keep you up to date with new information.

I found that Secondary is better then primary because in class we got to make a survey about postcard which we put on Facebook for our friends to take part and to share with their friends. For my survey I got 11 responses from my survey which isn't a lot because of the small amount of people it got to.

These are 3 of the websites I found when doing the secondary research

This is the survey I made using google form. This was made so we can get others people on Facebook to go through my survey and click on what they prefer on a postcard.

These are the pie charts of the results I got from my 11 responses. Once it was on google sheets I made each category into a pie charts showing the most that people chosen. I was surprise that most people would like the setting on a postcard at sunset then mid day, So maybe next time I'll have the postcard set with a sunset sky gives it a bit of a change from the blue sky.

Audience profile

Audience profile for my postcard.

My Target audience are aged between 25-64 more for the young females 25-34 and older men and women 50-64. This postcard is demographic to the older population then the younger population. more at the older because with the pink writing and some of the pictures like the bike, college and the bird it might be more appealing to the young female then the young males. Another reason why I think this postcard would tracked more of the older men and women is because of the bird and the bikes, It seems like something they would be interested with.

I think if they're interested in birds or bike riding they would find this postcard more to their style. For the younger female I think if they're interested in bath college or of the nature person they would be more their kind of postcard.

How will you appeal in this audience?

The theme is more nature with the bird, tree and with the bike and map it gives the postcard more colour to it. So it's colourful but not over the top with nature on it.

Where will you market the postcard? Where would you like it to be on sale?

Maybe it would be better to have it on a website like a postcard website since more people are doing it more on the internet then buying them in shops. But if there’s no internet and with some older people they might like to buy them to college so I would have my in a tourist shop.

Filming on location

Today we went to green park to record at a location which gave us an idea on what it's going to be like when recording outside. We got split into 2 groups then  go of to record a scene.

When recording at a location you need to think where you're going to record and what are the errors; Like for us we recoded a scene on a bench in the sun with a coffee cup and a water bottle, Now the lighting was good the only problem was our shadows kept getting in the way depending on what angle we were recording on.

Next were noises; For us we had a road in the background but lucky they were hardly any cars driving back and forth so they shouldn't be much nosies in the shots.

Next is scenes; When you're making a film you need to think of what other scene can you film here. When recording you don't do the scenes in order you can do different one at the location; For us we only did the scenes on the bench.

The weather; The weather today was windy and sunny, So when recorded you need too make sure you have the same lighting and none of the props fall over by the wind.

Ed's lesson Scripts

We were looking at scrips. We went online to find scripts from films that we watch so we could use to react our seen. I choose The Conjuring scene where Ed and Lorraine Warren are with the nurse about the Annabelle. Truthfully I think that scene would have been easy to do but we ended up doing aa scene form Rush hour because it was the only film we all knew.

Once we found a room we got everything together and got the camera up. I was helping with getting the camera up whist Aaron and Ben rehearse their lines.

At the end Aaron and Ben were having trouble remembering there line so they ended up making up there own word which made the scene very fun. Once we got all the shots we went back into the hive to download the scenes and edit. Once all edited we download them on youtube.

Filming Rush Hour react

We got put in groups of 4 and for my group we did a scene from rush hour. Once we found a place to record then do the 3 shots we went back to the hive where we download the recorded shot then edited it.

My was ok, Would have been better if I added music to the background.

Bath postcard desigh

How created
First we had to go in group so we could go into town and each take a photo around bath on the camera.
One we had our pictures we went on photoshop and create a new project, Mines called postcard 4 because it took me 4 attempts to make the card. On the left is the layer box where you can see where all the the pictures and the text are. If you press on one of the layer you can only edit and do whatever you want on that picture. Once all the pictures are in their places I then added the text 'City of Bath' in the middle, I then changed the colour of the text since half of city disappear because of the white sky into a dark red colour then saved and it was complete.

One thing you like and why
The one thing I like about my postcard is the picture at  the bottom right because of the way it's angled, the composition of the picture. Then you can see the bike shadow and the people sitting on the bench,  It just looks nice and it shows that Bath has Bike rides.


One thing you don't like and why
I'm not so keen on the bottom left picture because you don't get the whole of the tree so which I think would have made it look better. Also if it was the whole tree it would look better with the top bit cut down to the tree is it was a whole tree.

One thing you like and why

The one thing I like is the the top pictures because I like the way it's been taken, The way the christmas light is big and that its got some light and the sky in it. With the church its nice that it has a blue sky with some cloud above it with some of the Roman Bath build long on the side of the picture  and that they both got something to do with a bit of Christmas. 

One thing you don't like and why 

I don't like the bottom right picture, What I should have done was zoom into the Christmas light. With the postcard the two corners the lights are on is meant to be the main thing but as you can see theres only one noticeable light and the other is to small and you can't really see it 

One thing you like and why 

I like that one side of the card is all bright and light and the other side is dark. It's like showing that Bath have both light and dark sides.

One thing you don't like and why

I don't like the the bottom right picture. it looks different from before I took the picture, Next time I would brighten it up a bit or just clean the window a bit.

Bath postcard

What I've done is that I used both the black and white postcard and the painting on a postcard. The sky colour is from the colour and the grey is meant to be the cloud even thou it doesn't look like the clouds anymore thats what it meant to look like.  For the Abbey I used the painting idea and made it look more painted by where the shadow parts are I used a darker colour from the black and white postcard and left the light colours alone.  

What's on TV

I used the pages in What's on tv showing the different channels and the day the shows are on.

I've chosen Tuesday page.  They have all channels from BBC 1 to Channel 5 at the top and down the page it has all the shows and times plus on the left side of the page it has two pictures showing the pick of the day. The reason the used this type of layout is so people can see all the show on different channels and so they know what day. The size of the written morning shows are all small writing but bold whereas the afternoon show and all bold and bigger because more people are going to be watching the shows in the evening then the morning so they make it more bigger and give information on the show.

This page show's that the article is using a grid since theirs a picture in the middle of the text so what they've done is written around it to fit is all in plus they made the writing noticeable. They also added another picture in the corner relating to the article, For the title they have it in bold and all capitals and they've used both tracking and kerning so the title stays in the grid box but big enough to get peoples attention.

Type family

Typeface and Fonts

 The differences between Typeface and fonts is that font changes the way the word is written the style of the word like making the word fancy, bold, thin..., Whereas typeface changes the design of the worlds like using shapes, balance or instead of writing you use objects to spell out the words.   

SERIF and SANS-SERIF

The differences between the SERIF and SANS-SERIF typeface is that serif has the small lines on top and the bottom of the word whereas the sans serif doesn’t have the small lines.

Slab-serif which is also known as Egyptian is a font that is thin but also grown bolder.

Uncial is the font that was used along time ago, You would mostly see them in book in museums or bibles or scroll. They were written by monks since they were the only people who could read or write.  

What is a grid

Grid is a template which is used to keep writing in certain place and areas. Grid are used in a few things like articles, tools, books, templates and blogs. 

Like with articles they use shote sentences on the pictures so the use a grid to make it fit on the picture and the article. A mag like What's on TV they use a grid for the days of the week and on top are all the names of day time soups and dramas in the morning with the main points on what happening in the episodes on that day.

For books their are different types of grid like in children's book and adults book. When writing a children book it needs to fit ever under the pictures or maybe around the picture. With adult books their are no picture so it has to be written downward in the same size and page size as the rest.

Grid are to help keep writing in certain places for different thing like articles and book to write on top or below the pictures.  

recap on postcard

Last week we had to look up different audience on what kind of postcard they would get like...

Age
Religion
gender

Then we had to design our own postcard and think about who our audience are. We went on the internet and looked at different type of postcards, Me I looked up postcards from New Orleans and Salem and there I found the black and white postcard of the which house and the painting and the people dress in colours for the Mardi Gras all different styles. Then I found a picture of the side of Bath Abbey which I will use for my postcard.  

Parts of typeface

Kerning and Tracking

Kerning is what helps keeps a cap between the letters. Tracking is used to keep letters together or if you want to make the words bigger the tracker loosen so that the letter separate evenly.
