This summary provides the key details from the document in 3 sentences:
The document outlines a student's final major project which was a documentary about the mod subculture in Margate, UK from the 1960s. The student conducted research including viewing other films and documentaries. The outcome was a short documentary incorporating interviews with the student's grandparents who were mods, relevant music, and footage of Margate to portray the liveliness of the mod scene.
The document outlines a project exploring how mountain biking affects mental health both positively and negatively. The creator was attracted to the theme as they had noticed their own mental health declining when unable to ride as much. Research included studying mountain biking documentaries to learn appropriate techniques. Ideas developed throughout, shifting from solely positive effects to highlighting underdiscussed negative impacts and withdrawal. Interviews with a rider recovering from injury and a semi-professional provided perspectives on stress and inability to ride. The creator feels the outcome successfully portrayed how mountain biking can negatively impact mental health but also help overcome those impacts.
The document provides details from a student about their year two evaluation project focused on the positive effects of going to the gym on mental health. The student researched documentary films about working out to develop their project idea. They filmed interviews at the gym with two subjects about their workout routines and goals. Though the student was enthusiastic, they faced challenges with scheduling interviews and filming in low light. They received feedback that they could have improved by getting more footage and statistics, and using a lower camera ISO setting to reduce graininess. The student rated their final project as satisfactory to good and said they would make improvements like expanding interviews and footage in future projects.
The student completed their initial plans and proposal for their FMP project in the first week. They felt their idea became clearer as they worked. In the second week, the student conducted research on similar animation styles and surveyed audiences. They found time may be an issue due to the length of animating. In the third week, the student experimented and researched subjects for ideas. Pre-production was started and finished in the fourth week, including shotlists, music planning, and contingency planning. The shotlist was found most useful for visualizing the project.
The document provides an evaluation of a student's documentary project. The student believes they met the requirements but would change their entire project if given the chance. Their research and planning were strong points. Feedback noted the video's good length but suggested improving the interviewee's knowledge and finding someone else to do narration. The student agrees with all feedback and says for future projects they will get feedback earlier, expand their sources, allow more time, and possibly make a longer piece.
The project involved conducting an interview podcast with a local musician, Finley Dickenson, about the music scene in York. The interview covered Finley's background and experience in music, as well as his perspectives on challenges for musicians in York given its traditionally non-creative culture. Technical difficulties impacted the project timeline, but the final product included an 8 minute interview interspersed with footage from an old camcorder, as well as an exclusive live performance by Finley. While further editing was desired, the project achieved its goal of highlighting local musical talent and conveying messages of pursuing creativity despite obstacles.
This document outlines Adam Lepard's plans for problem solving and addressing potential issues throughout his film production project. He discusses both practical/technical problems like equipment, location, weather, and props as well as theoretical problems such as crew dynamics, refreshments, finances, health and safety, job roles, and production time. For each potential problem area, Adam provides details on his planned solutions and backup plans to prevent or quickly fix any issues that may arise during production.
This document provides an evaluation of Adam Lepard's film production project (FMP). It summarizes his initial research ideas, subject research, audience research, proposal, problem solving, experiments, pre-production, production, editing, and aesthetic qualities. His original idea was a horror film set at a house party exploring themes of love and fate. However, due to restrictions from the coronavirus pandemic, he had to film with his family and create an alternate one-scene production. Through extensive planning and experimentation, he was able to effectively produce a horror scene on a limited budget. The evaluation reflects on both the successes and areas for improvement in his project.
The student began planning the visual aspects of their project such as the cinematography taking inspiration from colorful horror films, designing disturbing masks for the antagonist, and creating a mood board and choosing a font for the trailer's visual style. They enjoyed planning these elements as it helped solidify their artistic vision. While designing the visuals was fun, coming up with a color scheme proved challenging due to the complex emotions and meanings they wanted different hues to convey.
1) Alex and his friend Sam attend an exclusive annual party hosted by the mysterious Buer family. Sam convinces Alex to join him at the party.
2) Sam goes upstairs to participate in a drinking contest. Alex hears a loud noise and goes to investigate, worried about Sam.
3) On the upstairs landing, Alex encounters a stranger who claims the noise was Sam passing out drunk in a nearby room. When Alex tries to enter the room, the stranger pushes him inside and locks the door.
Adam Lepard wants to create a horror film scene or trailer exploring the theme of love turning to horror. He will focus on the formation of a relationship leading to disaster for the couple. His idea is to twist Romeo and Juliet into a modern cult gathering disguised as a party. In his research, he will look at films like Climax, Romeo and Juliet, Midsommar, Suspiria, and The Shining that have influenced his ideas and style. He will research lighting, music, screenwriting, and directing actors to improve his project.
Adam wants to create a horror film scene or trailer exploring the theme of love going horribly wrong. He plans to twist Romeo and Juliet into a modern cult gathering setting. Key influences include Climax for its oppressive party atmosphere, Romeo and Juliet for its tragic romance elements, Midsommar for its cult aspects, Suspiria for its vibrant lighting and set design, and The Shining for its unsettling atmosphere. For his research, Adam will analyze these films, experiment with lighting, learn music composition, research directing actors, conduct a survey on his concept, and identify his target audience. He has begun writing a screenplay to help direct his scene.
Adam is planning the cinematography for his film project. He notes that the lighting will be challenging as it involves bright colors in dark settings. He wants the scene to feel like one continuous shot so lighting placement is important. Primary colors like red, green and blue will be used to reference Dario Argento films and create an unnatural, sinister atmosphere. Due to lockdown, Adam has had to change his plans and will not be able to use actors other than family. He will edit in color filters instead of using colored lighting gels. His goal is to still achieve a similar visual result despite not being able to execute his original vision.
The document discusses how horror films reflect and are shaped by societal fears and culture over time. It explores how different countries portray horror differently and how the themes in horror films have changed from reflecting fears of "the other" to more personal fears closer to home. Some key points made include:
- Early horror films featured threats from vampires and monsters but now focus more on real-life threats like serial killers.
- Films from different decades mirrored the societal fears of that time period, like nuclear threat films in the 1950s.
- Tropes like home invasions may reflect a country's fear of immigrants or foreigners.
- Horror films have also been used to discuss issues like racism, trauma,
The document discusses plans for the cinematography, editing, props, characters, and music for a film project. It notes that the cinematography will involve colorful lighting in dark settings, which will require careful planning and lighting equipment. Due to lockdowns from COVID-19, the plans have changed and will now involve normal camera angles, editing techniques, and removing the idea of a one-take shot. Editing plans include hiding cuts to change actors and settings while maintaining the one-take illusion, as well as color grading. Props will include homemade cult masks inspired by African, Japanese, and Mexican mask designs. Character designs and motives are outlined for the main characters. Music plans include using a synthesized track created for the
The document discusses the student's reflections from Week 1 of their filmmaking project, including defining their target audience as teenagers and young adults aged 16-21, exploring how to appeal to both male and female audiences, and identifying potential difficulties with planning and primary research that they may encounter. The student also discusses key influences on their project from the play Romeo and Juliet and their goals for improving skills like directing actors and creating music.

This document is a project proposal from Adam Lepard, a student at York College, for his Film and Media Production project. The proposal outlines Adam's plan to film a horror scene and accompanying trailer exploring the theme of love within a cult setting. He intends to film one long tracking shot for the scene to challenge himself technically. Adam provides a detailed schedule across 19 weeks for pre-production, production, evaluation, and presentation. The schedule includes research, experiments, planning, risk assessments, filming, editing, peer feedback, and evaluation. Adam aims to show growth in his storytelling abilities and technical skills through this ambitious project.
The document discusses potential problems that could arise during the production of a film project and plans to address them. It identifies practical/technical problems such as equipment, techniques, music, storage, software, and props that may occur. It also outlines theoretical problems like unwanted noise, actors/extras, crew dynamics, location, finance, and health and safety. The document then provides details on the crew and cast, estimated costs, and experiments done to test techniques like one takes and different aspect ratios.
Adam Lepard proposes creating a horror film scene or trailer exploring the theme of love and relationships going wrong. He intends to twist Romeo and Juliet into a modern cult gathering disguised as a party. For his FMP, he will film one scene. He researches films like Climax, Romeo and Juliet, Midsommar, Suspiria and The Shining for inspiration on style, lighting, music and one-take shots. He will write a screenplay, direct actors, use colored lighting to set mood, create an unsettling original soundtrack and attempt a long take for the scene. Feedback from a survey may influence adjustments to better appeal to horror film audiences.
The document discusses several aspects of film theory as it relates to horror films. It first quotes Noel Carroll, who notes that the horror genre seems resilient as it is able to revive itself by exploring new ideas and topics. The document then discusses how horror films can be viewed as a rite of passage for audiences. It also examines the use of graphic violence and gore in 1980s slasher films. The document provides analysis of several horror directors, including Guillermo del Toro, Ari Aster, and Dario Argento, and how they have influenced the author's own film project. It concludes with a discussion of film theory more broadly and how various elements come together to tell a story and draw in audiences.
The document discusses how horror films can act as a reflection of societal fears and issues. It addresses several topics including how the threats portrayed in horror films have evolved over time to better represent the fears of the era. For example, films after World War 2 featured more werewolf movies likely reflecting the violence of Nazis. The document also examines how horror films have addressed topics like racism, treatment of women, immigration fears and more. Many examples of specific films are provided that illustrate how the films incorporated themes relating to the societal issues of their time period and location.
1. Adam Lepard proposes filming a scene and trailer for a horror film exploring the theme of love. The scene will take place at a house party that is secretly a cult meeting where the main characters are being prepared as sacrifices.
2. The scene will be action-packed with a maximum of 4 actors and potentially be done in a single long tracking shot. A trailer will also be made to hook audiences and provide context for the unfilmed full film.
3. Evaluation will include a production diary, self-assessment PowerPoint, and a video reflecting on the process as the creator and director. Research on tracking shots and target audience feedback will inform planning.
Adam Lepard wants to create a horror film scene or trailer exploring the theme of love going wrong. He plans to twist Romeo and Juliet into a modern cult gathering disguised as a party. For his research project, he will analyze films like Climax, Romeo and Juliet, Midsommar, Suspiria, and The Shining that influenced his ideas. He will research lighting, music, directing actors, and surveys to improve audience feedback on his concept. Adam will write a screenplay in pre-production and learn directing skills to get better performances from non-actor talent.
The proposal is for an event at an art gallery to engage 16-25 year olds. It will include interactive workshops where participants make paints and try techniques from a video about a masterpiece. Short videos will provide analysis of different artworks in the exhibition and their historical context. The goal is to explain what makes a masterpiece and compare modern and older works. They hope to hold the event in January and invite press to a closing event showing the progress of the project through footage and a long video. The target audience is art and history students who often cannot visit due to costs.
The applicant proposes creating a trailer, short film, or scene for their idea of a horror film exploring the concept of love. They have wanted to make this film since conceiving the idea in 2019, but lacked enough collaborators. The influences cited are the relationship narratives in Midsommar and Climax, as well as the character-driven storytelling of Hunter X Hunter. If selected, the applicant would research locations, scenes, and sound design, aiming to surprise audiences with the narrative directions and tensions arising from character interactions and conflicting goals. The intended tone is one of constant tension through unsettling lighting, sound, and framing at a house party on the brink of violence.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
2. Secondary Research
• During my secondary research I wanted to get a better
understanding of my client so I could have better understanding of
what sort of projects they normally work on and how I could link my
project to the typical work that they tend to do. I knew going into
this year that I wanted to work on film this year so as I was
researching I was trying to think of how I could create something
artistic in a video that linked to the brief. Because Mediale is a media
company based in york I realized that there were a lot of projects
that they had been involved with that I had seen around york before.
I think that researching Mediale was a good thing for me as it gave
me a better understanding of who I was making my project for.
• At this point in time I still wasn’t sure what I was going to do for my
project so I did research on the york visitor website to find out some
statistics of what type of person normally visits York and Why.
Through this research I found out that people normally visit York for
the ambience and that there aren’t many attractions that bring
people to York.
• I figured out that an issue that I’d seen lately around college and in
the news was a rise in mental health disorders so I began researching
on various websites to see if this was true and I found some results
that showed that there was an increase in mental health disorder in
UK teenagers however I couldn’t find any information as to why this
was the case so I decided to include a question about this in my
survey so I could get a general opinion on why its increased.
• I did some research into short films and documentaries that were
exploring similar themes to my project and I managed to find a
documentary called “My Mind and Me” I found the documentary
interesting and it later helped me to realize that I would need to
make project concept more simplistic in order to make something
that felt purposeful and true and I think that decision improved my
project quite a bit. I also watched a short film which was also about
mental health however this didn’t impact my project to much as the
3. Primary Research
For my primary research I made a survey to see how many
people were interested in my project and what I could include
in my project.
The first question I asked was to see the rough age of the people taking
the survey however this question wasn’t really necessary as I already knew
the age category of the people answering. I had only sent the survey to
people in the 16-25 age group as I wanted to see how my target audience
responded to my project concept however in retrospect it would’ve been
good to see what all age groups thought about my project.
A question I asked which confirmed that mental health is a big issue was
when I asked if the people answering the questions had experienced
mental health issues and there were more people that had experienced it
than people that hadn’t. I found this question really interesting as it made
me realize how serious the issue was and it convinced me to make my
video more focused on an audience that had experienced these issues. My
main focus became making a positive message that mental health issues
are something natural that many people have to deal with.
I asked whether people would watch it on YouTube or on social media
mainly to see how long I should make the video as if more voted for social
media then I would’ve made a few very short videos however because
YouTube was chosen I made one longer video instead. I think that I
probably could’ve asked the audience how long I should've made the
video as it would’ve given me some more accurate information.
I asked for opinion on why mental health was an increasing issue. the
answers to this question were extremely varied however this was a good
thing as it gave me more to think about when making my interview
questions. The general consensus was that external factors such as stress
from education was the main cause of rising mental health issues. I think
this question was necessary for learning about my target audience as well
as getting a better understanding of what causes mental health issues.
4. planning
My main issue with my planning was that I got to distracted with wanting to make my project as
creative as possible that I gave myself to much to do (mainly the art installation as I wasn’t able to
make this happen) and I failed to realize the ideas such as the varying colour scheme and the B-
roll of natural shots would be extremely distracting from the story my artist wanted to tell and it
was only on the day before I filmed the interview that I realized this and by that point it was too
late to change my plan entirely. . Luckily I did change my story boards the day before filming so
that I had a clear vision of what my more simplistic video should look like. I did enjoy the planning
process and if anything the mistakes I made helped me to realize just how important it is to
review any second thoughts I may be having as I think my project and planning could’ve been
vastly improved if I had listened to my second thoughts earlier on.
There were aspects of my planning which I liked in spite of my mistakes such as the mind maps
and mood boards that I made as these were useful for giving me a sense of what my finished
project should look like and what I was actually going to be filming. I still think that I need some
practice when it comes to planning my projects but I know from this plan where I often go wrong
and I think that next time I plan I should just stick with a simple idea and try and make it as great
as it can be instead of setting my self too many goals.
5. Planning: mind maps and mood boards
• In my first mind map I tried to explore what different
options I had for what I could film or even if I should
stay on the topic of mental health. I thought about
maybe doing a music video which could've been
interesting as I think it would’ve allowed me to be
more creative however I decided to go with a
documentary/short film format as I thought that it
would allow me to give a deeper insight into the topic
of mental health. I still think this was a good idea even
though I didn't get around to doing the art installation
that I wanted because the video turned out really well
in my opinion as it felt very true and meaningful as I
gave it the thought it needed.
• Once I had decided on a definite project idea I
decided to explore several different aspects of my
project that I would need to plan such as the setting,
filming methods, style, aesthetic, and ways to make
my video more creative. I think that this mind map
was great for my planning as it helped me to lay my
ideas out and chose a path that best suited the theme
I was working with.
• In my mood board I mainly focused on the natural
areas and sunsets that I wanted to film as B-roll as at
the time I thought that this would give the video a
relaxing, natural feel as I have always found these
things to be calming however eventually I decided to
remove B-roll from my video as it would be too long
and it would be too distracting. I also included a
picture I found of an easel set up in someone's
6. Planning: experiments, locations and art installation
Production experiment:
I really enjoyed making my production experiments
as it helped me to understand how to make some
easy transitions as well as giving me a new editing
skill for a VHS reverse effect. I didn’t use these
techniques in my video as I knew that it would be too
distracting but I think that these techniques are still
useful and can be implemented into a different
project.
Art installation: I liked the planning of my art
installation as it was something that I really wanted to
do but unfortunately it was something I ran out of time
to make it however my plan was to project my video
onto the finished painting which was a really original
idea that would’ve made my work more creative but I
miscalculated how long it would take to edit my video.
I’m disappointed that I ran out of time to do this as I
think it would’ve made a great addition to my video.
Location: I decided pretty early on to film the
interview in my house to avoid any issues and
finding locations was fairly easy too as I live close
to an area where there are lots of trees and I
could get lot’s of great shots. All of the outside
shots I took were never used in my video as it
would ruin the atmosphere however I believe
that in future projects I may be able to use these
shots.
7. Planning: music
I think that the planning for my music was fairly
weak as I decided to create a piece of music that
would reflect the artists painting however I went
against this plan in my actual project which I’m glad I
did as the painting that Holly made was quite dark
and making music that reflected this would’ve been
distracting from the interview. Instead I made a track
with a Lo-fi aesthetic so that the video was calming
and atmospheric. I did this as I knew how I wanted
my video to feel instead of trying to replicate the
feel of my artist. In my music I used a lot of synth
effects to make the track but I tried to make as
simplistic as possible, I used a crackling sound effect
over the top so that the music sounded older and
this is something that is done fairly often in Lo-Fi
music. I think that I could’ve improved the planning
of my music if I had talked about what kind of music
I wanted to rather than how my artists work would
influence my music.
8. Planning: Colour grading
I enjoyed the colour grading process however I
think that I could’ve improved it if I had taken
some videos of interior areas I wanted to work in
so I could work on my colour grading in those
areas.
(No Body trailer 2019)
Compared to my work on my horror film
trailer earlier this year I think that my
grading is slightly worse as the colours in
my trailer are more subtle however I think
that in my plan I allowed myself to
experiment more with my grading process
and although it doesn’t look too good in
my planning I think that practicing during
my grading during planning did help my
process of making my final video as I was
pleased with the colour grading in my
finished video for this project.
In my colour grading for this I tried to make the image
look older by bringing out the brown colours however
this backfired because it also changed the colour of the
sky making the image look less believable. I think in
future I will try to improve my grading process by using
more subtle colour alterations and mainly focusing on
aspects such as the contrast and exposure.
9. Planning: Story Boards
On the day before filming I created my story boards however they are
different from the rest of my planning as I think that they best
represent my final product mainly due to the fact that I decided to get
rid of the ideas of using B-roll of natural environments in my video, I
did this to avoid distracting my audience with something fairly
irrelevant to the rest of my project. I’m glad that I made this change, it
made quite a bit of my plan irrelevant to my finished product however
I don’t mind this too much because the change made my ideas more
focused and it’s probably the reason that I managed to finish on time
with a product that I like.
Although my story board was fairly
short I still see it as my favorite part
of my plan as it was the turning
point that allowed me to organize
my ideas and it felt good to finally
get rid of ideas I had developed but
didn’t particularly think suited the
video.
I think that I could've improved
my story boards if I had thought
of some more varied shots that I
wanted to do in the video as this
could’ve made my finished video
a bit more visually exciting.
Thinking of some more dynamic
shots would also improve the
length of my story board.
I like the detail that I put into my
story boards as I wanted the story
board to reflect what I actually
wanted my video to look like.
10. Time Management
• I think that I definitely could’ve handled my time better in this project especially during my
production. My main fault with the time management of my production was that I hadn’t
made a back up plan for if my artist couldn’t make it to film on the day we were meant to,
this turned out to be the case as the original artist I planned to work with became very ill and
I had to postpone filming for a week while I found a new artist. Luckily Holly stepped in to
replace the artist that I’d lost and she gave me a lot of good advice on what sort of things I
should/shouldn't ask her about which I found really helpful. I spent the week where I had no
footage creating my music however I think that if I had been able to film straight away then I
would’ve spent less time on my music as I would’ve had a clearer objective with my music
even though I still think it turned out well. If I had made an alternate plan for issues like this
then I think I would’ve been more prepared to face the issue of having no footage in week 1
however I do think that I managed to recover fairly well. In the time that I lost in week 1 I
know that I could’ve made the art installation that I desperately wanted to do. In my next
project I’ve learned that I can make my time management better if I create back up plans and
stronger schedules so that I’ll have a better chance at being prepared for issues that may
occur.
11. Technical Qualities
My music production was difficult as at the time of me making
it I hadn’t filmed my video so it was hard to know exactly what
tone I needed to aim to make. I decided to aim towards
creating a Lo-Fi sound that was similar to songs such as
“Lightyears” by Kulpa which feel very distant and relaxing. I
replicated a similar sound in Garage-Band by using synth
instruments to make a repeating melody that lasts the entire
duration of the song however I started by creating a drum loop
which I built my melody on top of. I made my song more
interesting by adding short melodies onto the main one and I
had these shorter come on for a few bars and then I would
have a pause and use a different melody and this worked
surprisingly well. I added some final touches to the song to give
it the same aesthetic as most Lo-Fi songs, I did this by adding a
crackling grainy sound effect over the top of the song and using
some tools in Garage-Band to slightly distort the pitch of all of
the instruments other than the drums.
Colour grading was an extremely important process for me in this
project as I wanted to give it a subtle a grade that wouldn’t change at
all as I wanted to keep the video consistent. Unfortunately on the day
of filming I decided to use natural lighting as it appeared to be a
bright and sunny day however the the rain changed over the course
of the shoot and by that point it was too late to try again as the
painting was already almost finished. During editing I tried to fix the
issues with the lighting however the difference between most shots
is still visible but less drastic.
12. Technical Qualities
Truthfully I think that the editing of my video was a
little sloppy in some places. Rewatching my video
there are somepoints early on where there are visable
cuts which wasn’t my intention however I had only
picked up on this as I was running out of time to finish
my project and I knew that trying to fix this problem
would take quite a long time so unfortunately I had to
leave it in. If I had more time I wouldv’e fixed the
issues I had while editing as it would improve the
presentation of my finished video.
During the shoot we wanted to record audio with
the large boom mic however we tested it just
before filming to see if it was working and
unfortunately it wasn’t so we had to use a mic
with slightly less quality that we had brought as a
back up and the audio turned out really well in the
end although it was fairly difficult syncing the
audio to the footage. I think the audio was
successful however if the boom mic was working
at the time then we could’ve had slightly more
13. Technical Qualities
On the day of filming we spent an hour making a set up which
allowed us to make some nice shots. We started by pinning a
sheet up over the tv in my living room so that it wouldn’t be
distracting, we set up a camera to the left of Holly so that we
had a medium shot of her painting and there was another
camera infront of Holly which we used to get close up shots. We
also had various types of audio equipment set up so we could
get some nice clean sound and I think that the audio we got was
one of my favourite aspects of the video because it’s simple and
nice to listen to.
Although I liked our set up I think that we could’ve improved it if
we had a third camera, this is because the camera infront of
Holly played the key role of getting close ups for her more
emotional responses and the camera to her left was used to get
a timelapse of the overall creation of the painting, I think that if
we had a third camera then we could’ve made some more
varied shots and angles that would’ve made the video a bit more
exciting. We set up a light behind the close up camera which
gave Holly’s face and the background a subtle yellow glow in
some shots but for the most part we used natural lighting which
was a bad idea in my opinion as the lighting changed due to
this cuasing there to be a lack of consistancy. I would
improve my lighting by relying more on the unnatural
14. Aesthetic Qualities
I made my production company intro sequence
long before production began as it was
something that I wanted to do in my free time to
contribute to all of my future projects. I made it
using various free to use clips of grain that I
changed the colour of in Premiere and I think
that it good way of introducing me as a film
maker especially by comparing it with the
aesthetics of the No Body trailer as they have a
very similar colour scheme and use of grain
however I tried to make my intro more vibrant so
that it could apply to any project I work on. I
think that it maybe doesn’t correlate with my
client project as well as it could as there is no
grain to my footage however I still think that it
does a good job of introducing my usal
aesthetic.
In my client project I originally wanted to do
a lot of visual effects that would change
how the video looked depending on the
artists painting but I made the decision to
make the video look completely the oposite
as a very stripped back and simple
approach to the editing and colour scheme
as I have belief that my client will
understand the creativity that comes from
my artist expressing their emotions as they
talk and as they paint. as a director I
realised that by trying to oversell my
creativity to stick to the breif I was going to
be very pushy by trying to show of creative
editing so instead of overcompensating my
creativity I made something that I feel has a
heart and comes from somewhere genuine
even if it meant sacraficing some areas of
the clients brief. I feel like if I were to
attempt this project again I would make it
about a lighter subject matter that allowed
my to have a little more fun and creativity
as it’s something that’s pretty challenging
when focusing on such a serious topic as
mental health.
15. Aesthetic Qualities
Moonrise Kingdom (2012) Wes Anderson
Suspiria (2018) Luca Guadagnino
In one of the final shots from the video I decided
to do a shot of Holly and the painting side by side
in hopes that it would have a similar feel of
symmetry that would be found in a wes Anderson
film however this didn’t work to wel as the
camera was at a slight angle that pretty much
ruined the shot so if I were to improve this shot I
would make sure that everything was set up
correctly to make the shot perfectly symectrical. I
wanted the shot to be symetrical as it would
show a deeper connection between Holly and her
painting.
During editing I wanted my my video to look like it had a
warm and calming feel. A film that I had in mind while
editing is Suspiria (2018) which had a large influcence on
my horror trailer. Although Suspiria is a horror film I find it’s
colour pallete quite relaxing as it’s colours are pronounced
yet slightly dull which I think is why it feels so atmospheric
at points and an atmosphere that draws in the viewer is
why I decided to try and replicate a similar aesthetic in my
colour grading.
16. Aesthetic Qualities
I think that the lighting in my video was
great during the first section as the lighting
made for a nice warming aesthetic however
because we were using natural lighting the
sudden change in weather cuased the
continuity of the lighting to be lost.
Compared to the lighting that I used in my
trailer I think that my use of natural lighting
failed as I was using it during a time where
the weather was changing constantly
whereas my trailer was filmed in late spring
where the weather was much calmer so
this has taught me a valuble lesson as to
when it’s a good plan to use natural lighting
and if I could improve the aesthetic of my
video I would’ve used other lighting
solutions so that there was a consitancy to
my video.
I tried to make sure that there was
movement in every shot of my video so
that it didn’t feel long and drawn out even
though it was an extremly long video. I
think that this worked as to me it doesn’t
feel as long it actually
is however it still feels long as it’s over 12
minutes. Comparing it to my horror film
trailer I can see how I used used some
similar shots but by using different lighting,
colours and music I have created a
entirely different aesthetic that feels as
calming and natural as I envisioned. If I
were to improve my project then I
would’ve cut out a couple more sections of
the interview so that the video felt less
repetitive in it’s shot compositions.
