Portfolio

I have also been working really hard and focusing on this project, I have done a lot more and

keep adding bits and bobs, I thought I would not have enough work but I seem to have lots,

so its giving me an advantage as its more to experiment with how I am showing my work. I

made a mini showreel a while ago and have been adding to it when I can and hopefully this

will really enhance my Portfolio.

Myself and Vyte went along for another meeting about what they would want from us,

we received some feedback that they want our footage to mainly focused on these key

areas being:

• Waste
• Soil Association
• Local Produce
• Health and Wellbeing

Myself and Vyte are very happy with whats happening and we are just waiting for an email

Over the past few days I have been really focusing on my projects and trying to get some done, to focus on others.

Portfolio Inspiration

Hi everyone, sorry I have not been on here in a while which is TOTALLY NOT LIKE ME lol, I was involved in a car accident and have just sorted everything now, so between that I have been working and here is my progress so far:

Title Sequence for Robin Hood

I went to London and did some filming and took pictures of bits I needed (trying to keep it a secret) and I have took some pictures of a Park back at home called Hylands Park and also taken some pictures in Nottingham, I have had a meeting with Jools on how to progress with what I want to do and I shall be working with premier pro over the next few days to start to get a feel of where this is going and how I will get to what I want to show.

Documentary

I have missed quite a bit being away and have just caught up and been told we are filming tomorrow and friday and I am excited for that to begin and to start the edit and sound which sound being my job, be nice to do something different!

Sound Project

I have arranged with Danny and Vyte to do this partner project on Thursday again due to not being here and hopefully that will be good fun!

Portfolio

I have some ideas for a splash page for my portfolio possibly using after effects but I am going to try some pixilation first to see where that takes me and try after effects but having never used it before could be a struggle but I have back up plans ie pixilation and using other softwares I am stronger in i.e Premier Pro.

Alley Cafe

In my busy life hopefully myself and Vyte will be able to finish editing this to give back to Alley Cafe for their website and to put in our portfolio's possibly.

E-ON

I was told while away our group did not win the project, however there will be other opportunities!

Footage for University Cafe

Vyte kindly signed me up to do some footage for Nottingham's Trent University Cafe which is a great opportunity after hearing we did not get the E-ON project but this is great and it get paid BONUS! looking forward to starting that!

Feedback from Back to Basic Presentation

This is the feedback we got from everyone:

• We needed to have some information about a budget.
• We needed to explain in more detail how we got from complaint to our idea of role play.
• We needed more information about the individuals we said we re interested.

Basically we should have met up more to really be a lot more on it for the presentation, I think it went well but it could have been better with a bit more prepartion!

Robin Hood Title Sequence

I am going back home this weekend and plan to go to London on Sunday to get some footage for an idea I am intending to go with! Lets see what happens!

Since my last post I have been very busy working on:

Alley Cafe

Myself and Vyte have started to edit out footage, we have so much, so thought instead of going through it all to cut out parts, we have just gone straight into to it by making an introduction which looks promising!

Documentary

Today I met up with my group and we have changed our idea a few times! but we have a promising presentation to present tomorrow.

E-On Pitch

The e-on pitch we felt as a group went really well and we are very keen to know who they have chosen, we find out Monday so fingers crossed!

Robin Hood Title Sequence & Essay

I plan to send off my first draft of the title sequence essay to my tutor and get some feedback on how I can improve that, also I have a surgery session with Jools tomorrow to discuss how I can make my idea's come a reality.

Portfolio

I have been working on a mini show-reel to give me some experience and it is coming together just slowly, I am finding it difficult to use the right parts and music to make it combine well together.

Lobo Showreel

Deborah shows myself and Andrew this showreel in our last tutorial session and I found it very inspiring and thought I would put it on my blog for others to see.

E-ON

So myself and my group have sorted out our pitch for E-on and are going to complete everything on Monday for the Wednesday pitch!

Alley Cafe

Myself and Vyte went to film on wednesday day and thursday evening to get one of their live events and acts and we are planning to edit all day wednesday!

Documentary

Myself and the group have sorted out the roles and I have been chosen to do Sound, which is nice for a change as it is the only area I have not done. Our word is complaint and we have a really good idea and plan to further this on thursday for the friday presentation.

Title Sequence Essay

I have started the essay and plan to continue more with it once I have more firm ideas for what I am going to do for my Robin Hood title sequence which will hopefully be tuesday. I have looked at a range of different films particularly my favourite ones which I will intend to write about, I have written about one so far, so maybe I ll think of handing in a draft soon to see if I am going about the right lines.

Robin Hood Title Sequence

Well over the last few days I have been trying to get all my ideas together to show Deborah on Tuesday so that fingers crossed I know which idea to go with which will help me enable the rest of the essay and to start creating my title sequence for robin hood.

I will not be posting my ideas on here but I will be posting my inspirations and things I have looked at that have given me many ideas:

I have been looking at a lot of different Robin Hood films ranging from:

• The adventure of Robin Hood
• Men in Tights
• Prince of Thieves
• Robin Hood 2010
• Cartoons of Robin Hood

I have been looking at how Robin Hood has changed over all the different films and episodes, what makes Robin Hood, what he is about and why he is a legend.

I have about 4 ideas to talk to Deborah and hope that the best one she thinks is a winner!

In the Adventure of Robin Hood I feel this is very much a love story, you can hear a very confident radio like voice to over emphasis everything, they use really bright colours on there actors/actresses, all the titles cover the whole screen. As you can see Robin is still with his hat and arrow. As this film was made in the 1938 there would only be simple titles and black backgrounds.

In Men in Tights, I find this more of a comedy, there are some cheesy songs and black men making a lot of jokes, it seems here the colours of their costumes have become a lot darker but is still wearing the famous hat.

In the Prince Of Thieves, I find this more of a love story, it has very traditional music, simple lettering, but the title sequence has not imagination all they have done is use the bayeux tapestry as their introduction a very traditional safe idea. The colours again seem much more realistic here and the hat as disappeared but he still shows his arrows off.

In Robin Hood 2010, I feel this film is more of a battle, there is the traditional handwriting, the effect of a light from a candle, the moon and black sky and you can hear the wind and breeze, then it goes into an action sequence, people running in a forest, horses and chasing and the word Nottingham appears, you can clearly seeing people are stealing and you know its Robin Hood because he is an archer. The colours seem darker again more believable and still the hat is missing but the arrows are right there.

But whether Robin Hood is portrayed in all these different ways you know it is him because of what he believes in being fair and the law and people not being ripped off. Most films now start with a intriguing introduction but anything before the 1940's was very basic.

I decided I could go 3 ways with the title sequence

• Traditional title sequence 1950's
• Historical context
• Action today's standards

I feel the best one for me would be traditional with a twist! we shall see!

Apparently there is a new Robin Hood is progress with a modern take staring Will Smith in the making. Which will be interesting!

Also Nicolai Fuglsig is directing a futuristic action adventure re-imagining Robin Hood!

Portfolio

With the portfolio I am gradually building up bits to put it in for example e-on if we win, alley cafe, my pixilation piece I did over christmas with my brother, Rundance and some of my university work. Problem is I have completely forgotten how to make the beginning part of a portfolio which i mean the buttons as I have not used flash since last may! So may need to ask someone for a tab bit of help!
