For this I will be writing a letter to someone that I want to know more information about and someone who does something similar or the same thing as to what I want to. I am going to show you the message that I sent to Bruce Lucas and show what his reply was.
This is the image of the message that I sent to him. The way I found Bruce Lucas was I went on to Stage 32 and searched for people that are in the producer/director industry, the reason why I wanted to look for people who do this sort of thin is because out of everything in the media industry its what I enjoy the most. I got a reply of Bruce because I want to ask him some questions and he said that he didn't know if he could reply to them but I could ask him.
This is just the image of me searching about producers and directors and this is what came up when I searched it. Lots of people came up at the top and different websites that I could go on about the job in general.
This is a screenshot of me just reading about being a producer or director, it had lots of information on here for example what is involved or what you will have to do to be apart of this. This helped me and its really got me interested in it even more.
This is a screenshot of mainly just information about camera work. Now this is my favorite I really enjoy doing this part in the media industry! I enjoyed doing it at college and got excited to do it every time I knew that I was going to. This is definitely something that I would absolutely love to be involved in!.
This is the final video put together and made into a trailer, I thought that it worked very well and I liked watching it and working with everyone doing the piece. I think that Liam done a very good job at being the survivor and the main part of the whole thing, I think that the script that Kieren made was really good and made a really good story line for us to do. I think that the edit has been done good and everything has been put into it that we need. I also think the the director Courtney done a really good because the scenes that she had put together for it worked really well with the script.
I think that the part that I had to do was great I think that I done good at recording it because we got the different angles that we need and the best footage that we could of got to put the work piece together.
At first when I started Middlesbrough College I didn't know how to use the recording cameras so through the year we had bucked them so that we could try to get used to them which I did. Through the year I learned lots more about using the cameras I learned how to get the perfect camera angle and I'm glad with what I leaned at Middlesbrough College. This has give me more of an experience and will most probably help me for the future.
I think that this could be one of my examples why I think that I got good camera shots, I think that this is one the best because it shows you everything how Liam reacts and what he finds. This is mid shot of Liam one of the best shots to use I think because you can see everything.
Feedback Of My Group
This is some feedback that I had got of my team mates that I worked with. I got pretty good feedback from them which I'm glad about and thought that I would of got abit different feedback to that. But this is the feedback that I got of them.
As working as a team at first we had a few production problems to begin with but eventually we got into a rhythm when we made a few failed attempts on our first day of producing the film. I think that we worked well together and got through everything better than I thought. Putting the trailer together with them was really fun we had some laughs but also had to work hard to get everything right. We all agreed with the different sets and scenes that we wanted in the trailer which made it a lot easier to get done.
Parts of the trailer
This is the very first part of the recording that was ever done, this was to start it off we had Jack walking towards liam to indicate to people that the trailer and movie is going to have zombies that are involved.This first bit created the enigma and what it is going to be about. This last for a couple of seconds till the next bit comes on.
This the next bit where Jack (Zombie) is trying to get into the college, normally this is what zombies would do so we done the same thing. We done this to make the trailer and interesting so that it doesn't get boring for the audience to watch. I thought that this bit worked pretty well and when you watch the trailer it works well with it all.
After that bit then this is the next thing that Jack (Zombie) does, here he is walking towards the clock tower where Liam is because he seen him. This is where the tension starts to really begin and where it starts to become more intense but amazing!... For out trailer this is what we put in it so that it doesn't get boring.
This is the main part really of the story, it is Liam sat on the floor after falling over and finding a bad. He finds something inside it that he can use to protect himself against a zombie. This bit is good because it is the way that he will survive and protect him from the zombies that are lurking around him.
This is the very last clip of my trailer it is Jack running across the grass, the reason I put this in is because I wanted to create a cliffhanger for the audience because this normally makes trailers look good. There is always a cliffhanger to ever
Review of how my leadership project has been going so far:
Well I had a full year if learning new things and how to work with different things and to be honest I really learnt a lot if things. I learnt how to improve on my own basic skills and how to make my work better otherwise it wouldn't be as good as my work actually came out to be and I also learnt how to work with others and what it would actually be like in the real industry.
Final review on my project:
Reflection on how my project plan worked - Everything worked really well when we started doing it, it flew by as we all knew what exactly what we were doing and that's what I'm really happy with. Another thing that we got was success and I really enjoyed watching the trailer and I hope that everyone else does because I did. As a result we were happy as everything went to plan and the whole thing was ready for when we needed it! So in the end of all this is was very successful and everything went to plan. Everything that we planned worked and as you can see on the photos above we had good screenshots of the different parts that we have in it and how I developed my skills. So the main thing is that it all worked and Im really happy with that! and I hope that everyone else enjoys it.
What do I think are the overall achievements, successes and challenges of the project?
Well it made me better at things in general like using the camera, working with others etc! That's what I'm really happy with and this will most probably help me towards my future which I'm really really happy about. Doing things like this gets me even more excited and I just can't wait to hopefully carry on with this!. I would say that being in college for the full year I
achieved a lot of things especially on the silver arts award! As there is lots of different things that you have to do in this assingment for example you have to work with different people this is also what I achieved and we had to make our own trailer which worked really well and I loved it! The challenge was amazing and I really had full while doing it and creating our own thing which really helped me towards what I want to do in the future.
What have I learnt about working effectively with others and whatI have learnt from the feedback I received?
I learnt that i done really good by my class and Im really happy with that and also that it is really different working with other people. It actually does really help getting feedback of your peers because it can help you improve on something that they see what you can really improve on which is a really good thing and at the end it could help you get better! In the end I learnt that it is different working with different people in this type of industry and that it is still quiet hard to do. I got really good feedback of my class so I'm happy with that. In the future I want to carry on with this and prepare for my future.
What would I do differently in future?
There's not anything really that I would do differently in the future because I done what i needed to do I done my best and that's all I could do! All I would say for my future is to carry on and hopefully get even better at what I want to do!.
