FIND A PICTURE AND CREATE INSPIRED /SUE

Task 2 Film trailer/nazing

  Fish Tank

   Release date 14 may 2009/drama

    It is a British film about a 15 year old girl in London and she wants to be a dancer as that the only way to express herself ,she lives  on a council estate ,and she has to go through traumatic things at a young age having to grow up the hard way fast. Living with her mother and sister.

     This film is a British mainstream film  and would appeal to people who live in London and in similar situations, as the main character is a teen its a film that most middle class people would go and watch in the cinema, so this means either adults the film may attract but mainly teenagers.

Paul

Release date 2011/Adventure comedy

     Paul is basically a British/American Si Fi film, it is about an friendly alien who speaks English coming to earth and making friends with two humans ,who go on a crazy road trip adventure.

  This film is more of a niche film because its more of a science fiction film but its not as serious as some other science fiction films turn out to be, it has comedy and bit of strong language with adult humour, so this film would mainly stand out to middle class people but also some upper class people, so this would be adults and teenagers, it wouldn't be suitable for small children as they wouldn't understand the concept of the film and the language would also be a problem.

Music video

http://www.youtube.com/embed/oI3y_laphsI

I think that the video was a success as we all had a part in the music video to work on ,we all got people to dance in the video to make it entertaining.

I also felt that the video was fun and entertaining and it will make people laugh as we see different scenes when we are all dancing.

I think tht we cod have shot the music video outside in the open to give it more of a good affect in the video,I feel we could have maybe changed the camera angles Abit more rather than keep it in one little shot ,this made it Abit to static, also we could have structured the video Abit more  ,because when watching the video it didn't really have any conscrpet it was more of random clips we all filmed together.

Overall I still think it was good music video in the end and a good group effort.

Advert Swirlys

Evaluation

Overall I think that the whole shooting of the advert we did as a group was good because we got our message across in three different stages.

>First stage was how the sweets get you in a party mood/full of energy
>Second was how it makes you feel relaxed and makes you laugh feeling laid back
>Third was it then makes you feel tired at the end of the whole processes  

So I think we got our message across to the audience watching it describing the product even though there was no actual talking in the advert you understood the whole concept of the advert and at the same time entertaining the audience ,also thought that the inter cutting between the different scenes were good and were smooth.

I think maybe we could have changed the area in where we shot the film ,at times people did walk past which made us have to redo some shots for the advert which did consume a bit of the time ,I also think maybe cut the advert length a bit short as it was a bit long so that could have been an important factor.

If i had to do the whole advert again i would just change the location of where the advert was shot and maybe have done it in a more quieter place where its less busy.

TV film technology

British television started off in the 1930s ,the BBC as its first visual provider, a corporation which was also the main provider of radio-making them not only the largest but also the oldest media broadcasting today.In the 1950s, they faced a new rival-Independent TV, this was the start of ITV.the BBC which is funded  by license fees and the government, it was funded by advertisement and today, is very  popular commercial channel on Television today In the uk.

In The early 2000s Freeview was then made, which replaced ITV Digital by being the first free digital service-so that  everyone can have access to more visual media.

How has this affected the TV industry-in terms of employment and revenue?

 TV industry may benefit by the revenue from advertising,  pay per views on tv, or  even limited access on channels which may need to be fully paid for by customers , chanel 4 huge costs are summed up for the people who are not the providers of the programmes, as they pay to convert the media so that they can broadcast it according to their service's.Some services may face debts if they do not supply a good variety for their consumers, Employment has increased since there are various television formats ,as well as due to the amount of channels that now exist in telvison today ,individually inviting a diversity of people to become involved in the production, management or technical sector of them.

How has the internet affected how people watch TV and the TV industry-in terms of employment and revenue? 

The internet has allowed television adverts to promote there product with the use of social networking sites, sucha as facebook twitter and many more ,People are able to talk about their favourite shows so that the audience can stay updated. This such as Film4 and Netflix have allowed people to pay to watch their episodes online and on demand, you can even watcg movies on These services , All of this has increased the amount of employment in the TV industry, as every show will encourage their own shows online by giving  the TV industry a section of internet based jobs.

Copywrite

Websites which stream episodes for free are downloaded illegally by other people  that have no permission to do so,Also these websites may provide download links for various episodes for people to watcch creating many copies of the show again without the company knowing,but some copanys find out  and take action by getting the user to take the videos down or face a caught law.this is bad for company's that get there videos or films copied because they lose out on money e.g if a film has just been released in the cinema and people watch it online instead of payin for that new film ,then this becomes a problem as the film company start to lose money slowly.

Advantages and disadvantages 

HD TV comes with many great qualities it's  clarity  helps to stimulate a cinema experience right in people's homes. The sound quality is also much clearer and louder,making you feel almost as if you are in the film you are watching ,which also makes it very exciting as it is in the comfort of your own home.

HD TV also bring things like 3D telivision ,this is for the cinema affect that company's like Panasonic want you to have in your homes,you can watch things Films and different spors in 3D only if offered by that network company.

But the problem with HD TV is that some people may not have a HD TV and may have a normal tv ,so they won't be able to watch things in HD as it will be in normal quality and won't have that same affect as if you were to have HD TV,The HD TV also requires extra equipment such as a HDMI cable in order to receive the signal and work properly ,so this means you will have to buy the cable if it doesn't come with the HD TV ,as some companies make you do.

How has Netflix and LOVEFiLM changed how people watch TV and Films?

 I think that By paying a small monthly fee every month and making it affordable for people is good ,because people can catch up on things they haven't seen in years and re watch it and it wouldn't cost alot at all,it's also good because people have a free 60 day trial test if you like it ,then you can start your membership if you enjoy it for only 5pounds a month,Netflix and LOVEFiLM have allowed people to have access to a variety of TV and film legally, making their services available on different media and software.

Have technologies damaged the TV and Film industry?

I think they haven't really they have just made it better and now people can grant access to pretty much any film and tv show they want,however there are some doubts ,because some people still abuse things such a films in fact new film that have come out,which hurts the fming industry because that means that people are going to watch it online rather than pay to go watch it in the cinema or watch it on DVD,Overall I think that  illegally downloading films on the internet may be damaging towards certain companies, but they are fighting back by creating technologies such as netfilx film4 and love film.

Human centipede1/2



The human centipede 1 and the human centipede 2 were both banned in the UK for sexual violence and potential obscenity,the films age rating was originally given 18 by the BBFC,the reason they banned this from the UK was because of graphics that were put in and the gruesome activity the actor creates in the film.

It was also banned from the UK because they thought it could be manipulated in real life and it has cases of harming human beings in the process watching this film, in the film it also has scenes of rape murder and other things that break the law.

Job Roles in Film and Tv

There are different job roles in filming and TV some are the same and some are different.

Job roles for filming and TV ?

in the filming industry/making a movie people are allocated different working titles and it is their job to do so unless stated e.g there are people who do camera editing ,with special affects to make what is being screened in the film look as real as possible.

Animation is the art of making images that appear to come to life on screen. It features in all kinds of media, from feature films to commercials, pop videos, computer games and websites.

Theirs people in the filming industry that work with just the cameras so this is the positioning of the cameras and how they want it to be shot, there are also directors in the filming industry and Tv industry that tell people what to do and tell the actors how the scene should be played out.

Actors are the most important in the filming at TV industry as they hold the whole industry together in a way, because when you are filming something like EastEnders then you need the main people that are in the story line to make the whole scene work out.

A producer is hired by both the Executive Producer and the Studio. This person is the liaison between these two entities. They are responsible for all financial aspects of the television show.

ways of working (freelancing)

                                                 FREELANCING!

If you are reading this poster you are about to become an expert on freelancing after reading this.I am going to give you some pros and cons in freelancing and some friendly advice ...well let’s get into it then ! .

Freelancing is what the first four letters of the work actually means "Free" now this means that you are free to work however you choose basically being your own boss if you wasn't before now you are in freelancing .

 When you don’t have to come into work each day, you can really be in control of your own time. You get to choose when you work.

You’re working for yourself after all almost like owning your own mini business accepts YOU’RE the business.

When you’re freelancing you get to choose when you’re working and get to choose your own working schedules the biggest problem of working for a company is you usually don’t get to choose your won projects but look no further when your freelancing ,all your ideas are based on your own clients that you bring in.

You can also take on more clients and take on more projects than if you were working for a company, and also more quality equals making more money.

Now that you have accepted my friendship and the good ideas I’ve fed you, now for the evil cons and some advice in how things can go terribly wrong for freelancing.

Source from website

(At a company or firm, assuming it doesn't go out of business, you’re pretty much guaranteed work. You come in, there is always work for you to do, and you’ll never be at a shortage. As a freelancer, since you’re finding your own work, it’s never guaranteed. Sometimes opportunities can be plentiful, and other times there could be less.)

Also in freelancing its more of you spending your own time finding clients as no else can do it for you at this moment of time, if you absolutely hate finding clients but still want to freelance, one remedy is partnering with someone that can find work for you a designer manager.

Another disadvantage to freelancing would be it gets very busy as your basically your own boss and you tell yourself what to do, but on top of that this is where things get really stressful especially if your terrible at maths, yes that means you have to do your own accounting, while as if you’re in a company you wouldn't have to worry about accounting what so ever.

In working in a company it’s pretty frustrating but easy at the same time I mean at least you wouldn't have to find your own work right? ,which brings me on to another disadvantage about freelancing ,once you finish your work you have to then go and find yourself some more new work and this can be hard especially if you are freelancing by yourself and not with a partner this then leaves you a  dilemma in what and how your own business progresses.

Well that’s the end of these pros and cons ,i hope I've helped you and put you in the right place ,the only question is.. do you want be a freelancer ?
