1. Pre-Production
By Fraser Hardwick

2. Style sheet
• Using Text Like the ones shown above to give a gaming vibe to my gaming videos on my channel. I will be Using these fonts for some of the cosplay or location
shots. Because it will have the comic book style witch continues my house style and brand though synergy and relates to the audience watching.
• Keeping the camera on me because it is my vlog, constantly recording giving me lots of content to use in the final cut. giving enough content to make the viewer
feel like they're there.
The images on the left hand side is a more cinematic shot of a vlog, although this is staged also therefore planning was put in place. However on the right hand side it
was more a “raw” vlog style. Mainly improvised and direct to the camera to connect the audience with direct eye line.
`
For the cinematic side the colors are key with a bright character on a dull background making him stand out. Therefore having more brightness to the shot in
comparison. I may use this to my advantage due to my bright costume I will be wearing
The raw vlog style I used to address the viewer and my audience making them feel more involved in what was going on.
This style I will include because I want the viewer to feel more involved in the production and make sure their feedback was recognized.
Fonts: I want to use easily readable and understandable fonts with a comic faction this will be done by going on Dafont and getting the text from there, using these
fonts for style was hard to find. A key aspect was they need to be understandable.
The lighting is a key aspect also with the lighting making the vlogger look better with a 3 way lighting system meaning no shadows are shown and the light is all on
them brightening up their facial features.

3. Layout 1
Having mid shots like this
show enough detail of the
character but don’t distract
from the main comic stance
he is stood. For cinematic
effect in my vlog having a
colour corrected and a well
done professional looking
picture.
What I wanted to do is show
off cosplay. How I will do
that is having shots in
preferably good 3 point
lighting to show off and
make the cosplay look better.
This is because most viewers
will want to see a key aspect
of comiccon and one of the
biggest ones being cosplay.

4. Layout 2
Using the rule of thirds I
positioned the focus of the
character in the middle third,
where the audience would
see me the most and have an
idea of my surroundings. I will
also use a mid shot again. I
used Photoshop to give a
drawn look to the picture, this
was done though the filters
available on Photoshop.
Giving an idea of professional
photography being involved.
Using Photoshop alongside to
create a painted effect as seen
on this. Making most black
and white except for the mask
and gloves that are Iconic.

Camera breaks keep camera on the lead round neck as well as
keeping it in sights all the time therefor able to
see risks round it.
SD card corrupted always back up your saves as well as carry
round a spear in case of it breaking.
Water damage if it rains make sure all equipment is under
shelter or wrapped in a water proof casing.
Theft keep all items in a safe carrier and make sure
they are hidden and not marked with what
equipment is inside.
Deadlines I will make sure I keep to my schedule this will be
done by marking out each day of work when done.
Therefor helping me keep track.
Loss of memory stick Make sure I'm backed up on other devices
including my H drive. As well as keeping all my
memory sticks in a protective case meaning they
are not loose.
