TV CREDITS TASK EVALUATION.

1)9 keys frames.

We used t-shirts and chinos in the the sequence because they’re the sort of clothes you would wear too a hot country abroad. There are only 2 costumes we had too come up with as Jack and I were the only survivors from the plane crash.


This is an animation from an app on Jack’s computer called flight simulator. We both decided that this would be a programme too use because we good get the plane flying in mid air too make it look like we are going on holiday. We then just cropped the clip too make it shorter and then rendered into the sequence.

This was one of our locations which we used for filming. We thought we would use this location because it is right next to the college and it looks like a jungle/forest. At first we had a few problems with filming because thelocation was right next too a main road. So we made sure the camera always faced away from the road and also muted the clip so you couldn’t hear any of the vehicles.


This was the font used throughout the sequence. We thought it was relevant to the programme because it it sort of has a trible effect which related too the whole jungle and forest theme.

We added this effect to the keyframe because we tried too pursue the eyes of a monster/strange creature. I think this effect has worked well and would definitely use this filter again.


For this keyframe we used a certain camera shot called a ‘dolly shot’. A dolly shot is when the camera moves forwards, but then at the same time you are moving forward, you also zoom out, creating a weird effect which looks really good.

This is another shot showing the location of where we did some of the filming. This keyframe is filmed at Duxford Air museum where we managed too get onto a plane a do some filming. The keyframe which you can see is Jack walking up to the plane and about too walk on.


What you can see in the keyframe is a a shot of a camera recording out of the window of an aeroplane. We thought this shot would be good as there is a process of the plane taking off. Like Jack and I boarding the plane, The plane taking off, The plane in mid flight and the plane crashing.


Comparison too my programme.


2) Construction process

Most enjoyable- I thought the most enjoyable part of the construction process was going to Duxford air museum too film. I thought it was really satisfying because we got to go onto a real plane for our filming. We also got too learn a little bit of the background of the aeroplane we went on as well. Another part of the process which I thought was enjoyable was designing the title for the sequence. To make the title I went into photoshop and typed the name and then got the eraser tool and faded the bottom of the title making it look like a misty, cloudy effect. I thoroughly enjoyed working with my partner Jack as we got a lot of the work done and had good time in the process too.


Construction process.

Hardest aspect- The task which I found the hardest was the editing of the title sequence. I found the task hard because I struggle with final cut a bit. But in the end I got the hang of it and found it a lot easier than I did at the start of the task. I thought that the task where we had to make a shot list. I found it hard because we had too decide which scenes were going where and had to put them into there right place.


Construction progress.

Problems- Some of the problems I had was finding a non-copyright song to fit the title sequence. We solved this problem by looking non stop too find a song on many websites. For one of our locations there was a road right next too where we were filming which was a problem. We decided that we could film with the road behind us and mute the clips so the audience didn’t know that there was a road there at all. I though we both worked well in overcoming this problem. My partner and I had a lot of trouble with the rendering. For some reason whenever we rendered one of the videos, the other video didn’t render at all. We ended solving the problem by asking one of media technician’s too help us out and he helped us sort out the problem.


Construction process.

Team working- I thought we worked very as a team. We both came up with ideas and both co-operated very well together. I was in charge of the costume design and the title and directing the title sequence, and Jack my partner was working on the editing for the whole video and also location searching. We both went to Duxford where Jack managed too get us into a plane too do some filming which was great.


3) Legal and ethical consideration.

Our task was too find a copyright song which I could use for my sequence. Me and my partner looked on many websites too find the right music. The website where I found my song from was sound cloud, which is a copyright free website. I thought the song worked really well with the sequence because it is an adventured theme and our programme is sort of an adventure programme. When we first heard the song I knew it would fit the sequence perfect. It has a tense vibe to the music which sets a scary, and nerve racking.


4) Skill developmentI feel that I have learnt many new skills whilst doing this film project.

One of the skills I feel I have succeeded in is the editing in Final Cut. Here is an example of an effect used in Final Cut. To make this effect all I did was open up the clip in Final Cut and add a filter effect to it. The shot is meant

too be from the eyes of a monster/creature which is attacking Jack. At the the start of the project I wouldn’t of known how too make this

effect, but because of my partner Jack, I learnt how too apply this effect to the clip.

Another skill which I feel I’ve picked up is too be more organised. Making sure everything is planned out well and knowing what we are doing and how we are going to do it, making it a lot better and

easier too work with. Another skill which I feel I’ve picked up is too be more organised. Making sure everything is

This is the finished title for the sequence. The skills I feel I have learnt in the process have been making the title look as if the bottom is some mist or there are clouds.

I also got too images of people standing with there backs towards the camera and put the photo’s into photoshop and edited the out so they’re on a negative

background.I merged both the images together too make the 1 image. I then used the magic wand tool to cut the outlines of the body’s out so there was no background and

only the body’s. Then by using the fill tool, I filled the image with a white colour base, too make only the outline of the body’s visible. At the start of creating the title we started off with a pretty boring font and then slowly progressed too try and makethe title as best as we could. Overall I am pleased with the outcome of the title and

think it suits the sequence really well.


5) Quality of final production

I personally think that my sequence is suitable for 12+ because there are some parts of the programme thats may be scary or some mild language. Also if you’re young, you may not be able too

understand the story line. That’s why I have have rated this programme 12+

Technical strengths

Dolly shot- A dolly shot is a certain camera shot. The dolly shot has been been used in many films such as Jaws. There are a couple of ways how too do a dolly shot. how we did it was, by moving the camera forward, you then zoom out of the camera creating a weird effect, making the person’s head

get bigger, but the background stays the same.

Flight simulator.-My partner Jack has an app on his computer where you can fly planes, so we used the idea of recording the aeroplane in the air flying through a storm. We then put it into final cut and

trimmed the clip to make it a lot shorter and too fit the sequence well.


Quality of final production

Technical weeknesses

Camera angles- We had a bit of trouble finding different angles too vary and make the sequence more complicating.

Locations- Very many of the locations we wanted were near main road’s or near a hospital so we had too do a lot of research into where we were filming. In the end we went back too

the first location and worked around the problem.
