8 Shot Journey
Evaulation
My eight shot journey making in the end went well me and my traveller communicated well and got every thing done.
Scene 1 (south building corridor)
The first scene went well it was easy to set up and there was no complication between me and my traveller it was easy to film because it was just one location and it was a short journey for the shot so it didn’t take long.
Scene 2 (the Bridge)
This shot was more complicated because I was outside and my traveller was inside so we had to find of way of when my traveller would go with out going to early into the shot or maybe going to late but we figured out a way of doing it we used a hand signal then he would wait 3 seconds then go into the shot.
Scene 3 (north building corridor)
This shot was easy to film again because were both in the same place we were both inside so we could easily communicate with each other and get the shot done quickly.
Scene 4(atrium 2nd floor lift)
This shot was also simple because we were inside we could communicate with each other but because it was a shot from across the atrium we couldn’t hear each other we had to use the same signals.
Scene 5 (lift)
This shot was probably the easiest and quickest shot because we were both in the elevator so we could communicated and the shot only lasted from the upstairs of the lift to the bottom so it was not hard at all
Scene 6(Ground floor lift exit)
This shot was probably most frustrating this was the shot where he came out of the elevator. Because I had to wait out side for him I wouldn’t know which elevator he would come out of and whether or not he came out on his own so we had to get it at the right time this was probably the longest and most confusing shot if I filmed one lift he would come out of the other or if he came out of the right elevator he would come out with loads of people.
Scene 7 (ground floor corridor)
This shot was also slightly confusing because a lot of people came round that corridor but eventually we got it done when nobody was there.
Scene 8 (ground floor toilet)
This shot was simple and quick it was the final shot of my traveller entering the toilet it was a bit short but it worked well this shot was easy because we were in the same place so it was easy because we communicated well.
Do's And Don'ts of making a short film
- set up camera menu set up in 16:9 and camera wide screen
- Make sure its in standard play
- Audio: make sure its set to 16 bit
- Time code is the directors best friend
Time code
- always strip your tape for atleast 15 minutes this means leaving the cover on then lens and recording black over what exists on your tape to start a fresh then after the 15 minutes is complete rewind it to the first 30 seconds of the tape
- Wait 5 seconds then say shot 1 take 1 then wait five more seconds then say action = this is called a handle
Short film check list
- Keep it simple with only 1 narrative
- Highly visual use of pictures
- Not many Characters
- Not many locations
- Humour or fantasy
- Always end on a climax
- Use an anti-narrative which is not in order of beginning middle and end
- Avoid Cliché
- Story boards:
· Give some one an idea of what your doing
- Shot types :
· Close ups = C/U
· Wide shot
· High angle shots = H/A
· Over shoulder shot = O/S
· Low angle shot = L/A

Radio Production
Radio Jingles
Radio jingles are a part of every radio station. They are a small piece of music which represents the radio station or you could say what advertises the station They also advertise productions shows such as movies theatre. They are made to let the li
steners know what station they are listening to and what type of station they are listening to, for example BBC radio 2 which is targeted at an older audience has a very different jingle to BBC 1xtra which is targeted at a younger audience. An older generation would rather hear a slower catchier jingle without all the sound effects and quick editing, whilst a radio like 1xtra would have background music sound effects and very fast pace editing.
My radio jingle
My radio jingle making went well because I have used that type of program before I knew how to make all the sound levels a similar volume. The recording of my voice was very simple I used the built in microphone in the software also I used the features of the program to put a certain effect on my voice which made my voice distinctive and different. I got my music from my phone via a USB cable, the type of music I used was urban music because that was the type of show I was trying to do. The editing of the music was also simple because I have also done a bit of D-Jing in the past so I knew when to time my music and how to make the music files shorter (trimming) to fit in with my radio jingles, I put 3 or 4 songs into one jingle using the trim feature the program offered. Also I learnt how to use some features that would be very useful in the future for example the ability to fade in/out music files, how to insert sound effects using adobe sound-booth ™, also how to put different sound effects on my voice recordings.
If I had to do this sort of project again I would do most things in a similar way mostly because it all went according to my written plan, however the only thing I would change is maybe the length of some of the music clips. All together the radio jingle making was enjoyable and also in my opinion went well and I would defiantly do this again.
The pholy Technique
this is when people make sound effects using something else then the actual sound effect there trying to make for example stepping on carrier bags makes the sound of rain but it is not actually rain.
Diegetic and non-diegetic sounds
Diegetic - a natural sound.
Non diegetic - a computerized sound.
Codes & conventions of radio
- Speech - make sure you speak clearly and articulate also give the correct information e.g. saying the correct frequency or correct name of the station
- Sound effects
- Background music - make sure you have back ground music which is recognizable and appropriate to the station for example BBC 1xtra which is more for a younger generation would use fast pace urban music as background music because that is the type of station but BBC radio 2 which is more for an older generation would use something more slower and suitable to the listener.
- make sure to remind the listener what station they are tuned into.
- show promo's must have : name of presenter, what kind of show it is, what time show is on, frequency and highlights of last show.

Basics Of Photography
Photography
Photography is the process, activity and art of creati
ng still or moving pictures by recording radiation on a sensitive medium, such as a photographic film or on an electronic sensor. Light patterns reflected or emitted from objects activate a sensitive chemical or electronic sensor during a timed exposure, usually through a photographic lens in a device known as a camera that also stores the resulting information chemically or electronically. Photography has many uses for business, Science, art and pleasure.

Photography has many uses for business, Science, art and pleasure. Genres Of Photography
There are many different genres of photography such as: 
Ariel, black and white, commercial, documentary, fashion, fine art, forensic, glamour, high speed, illustration, landscape, nature, paparazzi, photo journalism, portrait, still life, stock , underwater and wedding.

Cameras
A camera is a device that records images, either as a still photograph or as moving images known as video or movies, the term comes from camera obscurer (Latin for dark chamber), an early mechanism of projecting images where an entire room functioned as a real-time imaging system the modern camera evolver from 
the came obscurer.
the came obscurer. Shutter
In photography a shutter is a device that allows lights to pass for a determined period of time, for the purpose of exposing photographic film or a light sensitive electronic sensor to light to capture a permanent image of a scene.
Shutter Speed
The number 1 over the number is the speed of which it shuts e.g. B-bulb 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30.
Aperture
In optics an aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels in photography this can be measured in incremants called f- stops.

Lens
The lens of a camera captures the light from the subject and brings it to focus on the film or detector.
Exposure Control
The Size of the aperture and the brightness of the scene controls the amount of the light that enters the camera during a period of times and the shutter controls the length of time that the light hits the recording surface. Equivalent exposures can be made with a larger aperture and a faster shutter speed or a corresponding smaller aperture and with the shutter speed slowed down.
Pin hole cameras
A pinhole camera is a very simple camera with no lens 
and a single very small aperture. Simply explained, it is a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through this single point and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box. Cameras using small apertures and the human eye in bright light both act like a pinhole camera.
The smaller the hole, the sharper the image, but the dimmer the projected image. Optimally, the size of the aperture should be 1/100 or less of the distance between it and the screen.

Health & Safety
In the studio be aware of :
*Cables, watch out for trailing wires on the floor.
*lights, make sure not to stare in to the bulb also they get very hot.
*Back drop, be aware not to step on them or trip over them.
*Coats & bags, put them away in one corner.
*No food/drink.
* sensible behaviour, make sure you act grown up.
In the dark room - be aware of:
*Coats and bags, don't leave them in the dark room.
*wet/dry area, don't put dry objects in the wet area.
*Chemical spills, be careful of chemicals because if they spill they can ruin clothes.
Welcome to my blog !
