FILM MAKING

In the film making we are doing at the moment in media, we have made stop motion films and a overall film. Last week we made the stop motion film. My group was Hannah W and Jasmine M. My group in the movie was Honor M, Flo M, Hannah W and Jasmine M. We filmed that around 4 weeks ago.

The stop motion was so fun and enjoyable. Jasmine, Hannah and I called it " tiger tales production" we decided to called this  as we had a jigsaw puzzle of a tiger, and pulled it apart. We used the school iMacs and a portable camera that an be bended to look over at a birds eye view. We had a white A3 piece of paper than wrote out 'tiger tales production" in the middle at the bottom of the paper. We used the tiger to cover the words and we look picture every time we spread out the jigsaw. We made sure we moved it very little amounts to make sure it looked smooth and not stop and start.

We used the app 'Hue' to edit, we took around 30 pictures of the jigsaw moving and then transferred it to iMovie. From there we added a roar sound and added our movie onto the back. Overall it was so much fun and I loved working on it and watching it all together was so enjoyable. 

CHRISTMAS ADVERTS

 CHRISTMAS ADVERTS - HW

In this picture you can see Mickey and Minnie mouse being animated to advise Disney. The lights are attracted to Mickey and Minnie mouse showing the are the main focus here. You can see the shadow behind the boy to see that the lights are dimmed but because all the light is focused it bright up to see there faces and show there reaction. 

In the picture there are loads of snow which suggest its Christmas time. They are all doing a family activity, this shows that the step dad is fitting in. The Christmas lighters in the background are very pretty and all the snow gives off a very relaxed scene. The dog is playing and the are all helping with the snow man which is very affectionate.

In this picture it shows the step dad and daughter having some bonding time, the light is very bright and high-key to show the peaceful and happy time. The Christmas decorations in the background set a happy and merry emotion. 

FILMING A OPENING SEQUENCE

 Today in Media we filmed a opening sequence, my group was Hannah W, Honor M, Jasmine M, Flo M and I. Our themes was a Japanese themed. We had a mother(me) who gave her baby and left her with some pearls. We filmed a live action and a birds eye view. This is was super fun. We explored lots about the Japanese and found what they wore, which was very interesting. We first did a rhumbas view. We had the tables filled with Japanese things and zoomed into a few pieces, for example the pearls and a picture. After doing this we did a live action, it was me putting the baby down with the pearls. We filmed this outside on the mansion steps. When we came back in we went onto the IMacs and air dropped them so we have them for next lesson! 

02 MUSIC VIDEO

I have watched Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus and made a comic using ComicLife in class. It is about a high school boy, he plays the guitar and is a musician. He likes this girl who is called Noelle. Noelle is way out of his league because she flirts around with all the big high school football jocks, who think they rule the school. 

The boy writes songs to express his feelings about the love he has about Noelle, through the music video we get clips of him doing music with all different angles to show us how he plays music and shows different reasons, for example close up to show the reaction and expression.  

Throughout the music video we get a sense to show how he feels about Noelle, after time Noelle drops the football jerks and become a 'teenage dirtbag' just like he is. He doesn't do to much to himself, he wears messy and ugly clothes and doesn't dress himself how people would find him attractive

At the end they dance at prom together, but the disco balls drops and it was all a dream...

From the start of the video to the the positioning is the same, he is lying on the brown stairs asleep.

CULTURAL SOCIAL AND HISTORICAL CONTEXT

The Cold War 

From reading The Observer, I learnt that people were very worried about the Cold War.

The Cold War is a on going of a political rivalry that has been going on for since World War 2, the country's that are associated in the rivalry include; America and The soviet Union. The dates of the Cold War were 1941 - 1947 according to most historians. It is called the Cold War because United States of America or The Soviet Union declared war against each other. 

This affected lots of people and their lives. Not only did it split family apart but it spilt the world into two, making them rivalry's. This made the world crazy, the world was full on conflict all over the world, this led to nuclear weapons mostly been used in Russia and US.
