For the presentation day videos as a class we had to create four videos one for West Kent College, one for Hadlow, one for Hadlow out centres, and one for Ashford College. For my input on the filming of the presentation day videos, I first filmed a Graphics lesson at West Kent College which I helped to direct the camera operator (Jay Seymour) on what camera angles to use. I then filmed at the Hadlow College facility in Canterbury. Again I helped to direct the shots for with the camera operator (Tim Townsend). I then filmed in the same day Princess Christian Farm a Hadlow College facility, Hildenborough which was another Hadlow College facility, and in Mottingham another Hadlow College facility. For this day I was actually the Camera Operator taking directions on what to film from the Director (Tim Townsend). The last place that I helped to film at was Hadlow Colleges main site in Hadlow, for this I was again the Camera Operator taking directions from the Director (Regan Alexis).  ...

Task 1 : "Video for Interactive Media: What You Need to Know"

Image
Unit 62 : Task 1 : Digital Video Production for Interactive Media Introduction: Digital Video Production is creating a video product on different king of digital platforms. Before late 2012 the world was watching their television feeds off of Analog, after the late 2012 the United Kingdom switched over fully to using Digital signal. The reason that there was a switch from Analog to Digital was because Analog was a much weaker signal and wasn't as good of a quality as Digital signal was, thus showing films and television programs in a much better definition and quality. Below is a image that shows what the two types of signals are portrayed and their differences.  Over the long period of time we have had film and television there has been huge leaps and bounds in the develop ment of the quality of the footage. The first ever video created back in 1888 by a man called "Eadwerad Muybridge" shows now how much the industry has grown and how the quality has bec...

Production Log #6 (25/05/2017)

Production Log #6 (25/05/2017) Filming: Today we filmed at Hadlow's Hildenbourough campus, where we filmed multiple foundation students in the animal management course. We filmed many things like the miniature ponies, alpacas, chickens, rabbits, ducks, and ducklings. Once we finished there we moved onto Mottingham, where we filmed a similar course but with extra animals like terrapins, cats, bearded dragons, and snakes. We also filmed the course muck out some of the pens.

Production Log #5 (11/05/2017)

Production Log #5 (11/05/2017) Shot Type Storyboards: We started of the day with creating a story board of different shots that where featured in the previous year presentation day videos. We had to screen grab what shot types interested us and we would use in our videos, then say what shot type it is and why it was important to use this shot type in the video. This was helpful to do this because it gave me ideas to what kind of shots I want to include in my video, as well as the feel of the video the client is looking for. Filming: Today we where told that we would be filming the Graphics course at West Kent College for the presentation day video. Regan, Jay, and I went up to the Graphics department to see what we would be filming and asked if now was a good time to film for them. They were happy for us to film because they had a student using the 3D printer at the time and wanted to showcase their new piece of equipment off in the video. We headed back to the media block to ...

Production Log #4 (09/05/2017)

Production Log #4 (09/05/2017) Research into College Courses: Today we were given by our teacher Debbie five courses that are offered by the Hadlow Group Colleges. We had to research into each of the courses to find out all the information about them that was important for when we started to film. The five courses my group where given where: Science, Business, IT, Electronic Installation, and Equine. This is important to progress in this unit because it gives us a better understanding of the courses we are going to be filming, and is important for the research task in the unit.

Production Log #3 (08/05/2017)

Production Log #3 (08/05/2017) Group assignment and job roles : We started today's lesson off with being assigned our groups for the promotional videos, and given our job roles within the groups. This was helpful at this stage because I could then speak to my group and figure out what we were going to be doing. File Format Workshop: We also had a workshop with Andy the media technician who taught us the basics of file formats and what is the best format to export when editing videos. This was really helpful because during our time at the college as a class we have all been unsure when exporting and have always asked the teachers. Know knowing how to export and what file format we should chose depending on how we film the video it will be much more helpful for this unit. Reviewed Previous College Video (Hadlow + West Kent College): At the end of the lesson we reviewed two videos one from Hadlow college, and one from West Kent College. We listed down what we liked an...
