Location of production 

The location was set inside a British GQ studio, most likely in UK. The studio is a really clean, simple environment. Easy to control lighting and there's nothing to distract from them speaking.

Colour and set layout

The studio was layout very simple, it had a white background with a plain grey sofa. This gives the effect of the simple look.

Hair, make-up and clothes 

The hair and make-up is their casual look with their casual clothes as well, why they done this because they want is to be there personally. 

The Interviewer and Loyal Carner

The presenters seems very relaxed and easy going as he is leaning back answering the questions.

Camera Style

Shot types

When the interviewer was asking a question they have a wide angle, seeing both interviewer and Loyal Caner. But when Loyal Caner answering a question the go a close up on to him and see this face reactions.

Positioning

Camera White Balance

White balance meaning correcting the background to the correct white. It is a function which gives the camera a reference to "true white" so the camera tells itself what the colour white looks like, so  the camera can recorded it correctly.

When I was using the white balance I it looked very funny because I've 

Meet The Fockers: AirPort Scene

Meet The Fockers: AirPort Scene

The scene what I have chosen is from the movie Meet The Fockers starring Ben Stiller, Teri Polo and Robert De Niro as the main actors. The movie about Jack and Dina Byrnes played by Robert De Niro and Blythe Danner going to meet Greg Focker parents played by Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman, to see if Grey is the one of their child.

The scene what I have picked from the movie is when Greg Focker and Pam Byrnes going on there the way to the airport to fly away. The music in the background tells us that this is happy and uplifting because the tempo of the song is light, as well as the chorus says” We going to get married” and normally when you are going to get married to someone your very happy. The instrument’s what’s playing in the song is a drum playing lightly, saxophone and a guitar-strumming lightly as well to keep the tempo light.

Also, they have tried so hard to make sure the scene is ambient so for example when Greg and Pam are leaving to go to the airport they have added in that other people will be getting taxis, cars driving, people walking everywhere and loads of noises because New York is a busy city fall of people. But this doesn’t mean that they have to focus on all the noises, they focus on the speaking of Greg and Pam talking to the guy who just gives his taxi to them, with all the noises around them in the background. Went they are in the taxi Greg says “ nice guy” and Pam says “yeah” then the lights all change to green with a dinging sound for an instrument. And so far for them everything is just going easy for them, because they on their way to going and get married. Then when they get to the airport they have done the same thing as what they did when Greg and Pam was leaving their apartment, they have add ambient at the airport because you see when they turn up at the airport there are lots of cars parked outside, especially because it’s in the middle of the day so more people would be there. Also you hear announcements of informant being said on the microphone to the passengers warning them something. As well has see Greg and Pam waiting in a large queue, what you normally have at airports. But Greg and Pam get more luck because the got to be the first people on the other security check and also this time Grey bag got throw unlike the first movie. Also you hear more announcement being said when they are booking their flight. As well as get more luck due to the fly was overbooked so they got first class.

Furthermore, the dialogue was done so if someone is speaking the music would be lowed however continues in the background, yet no singing just instruments playing. Again when Greg and Pam got into the taxi and all the lights go green the music gets raised up and repeats” we are going to get married” to reminds us again what they are doing.  Then they get to the airport the course finishes, the security guard says, “ You two, you’re up”, with all the music lowed as soon as he speaks.  Then Meet The Fockers title comes up on the screen underlined. Then the music goes back up and the singer sings until the end of his line then a long saxophone sound plays, at that point the music gets lowed because the women at the checking start to speak. Also, they raised the sound of the keyboard when she’s typing. This is for a joke because they say normally when people behind the desk they are always typing.

Finely there’s lots of sound effect added to this clip. For example a car brake squeals when Grey and Pam are waiting for a taxi. Again when all the light change green the sound effect of a dinging sound plays on each light changes to green. When they turn up at the airport you hear cars driving slowly past then it cut to the security check and you hear a light sound of a whistle. Soon after with the sound of the security guard pulling open barrier followed up the sound of the luggage being slammed on to the mental desk, shortly after with a pushing sound. Plus the sound of the keyboards most likely to be a sound effect as because it was so load. Additionally the sound when the woman goes to past the boarding past over with a flick sounds of paper.

Photographic

Photographic


I think the photograph would help in the media industry because if you need to take pictures of locations of where you want to film you would have to have basic photograph skills and I learn them in class. For example we were learning about shutter speed, aperture and the camera focus.
This picture only focusing on the flower and only   Where this picture is showing everything in focus
that because the background is out of focus.          even the background because you can see it clearly.

We also learn how a camera works. The light shines down the lens hits the mirror bounces up to the prism the bounces to another mirror then int the viewfinder.

The only tools what we use was a nikon DLSr camera.

Foley - Stuart

The task what we got set was to make sound for the clip Psycho shower scene, because we got shown then scene with no sound on. So our task was to go and make the sounds effect for the different objects that were using through out the scene, this is called Foley.

 

The first thing before we went off and started to record, was to make sure we have a cue sheet to help us organize the sound what we would be create so its easier for when we go to edit them. We recorded all the sound on a mic that was easy to plug into the MacBooks.

 

The kindled of sound what we were making like a stabbing sound a shower being turned on, water dripping, pull hole draining, keratin being pulled open and shut and as well screaming like a women.  How we recorded the stabbing sound was by using a peace of a vegetable and chopping it very slowly. How we make the sound of the shower tap turning on was but using a sink tap. Then for the shower noise we used rice pouring on a bowl so you have the sound of rice hitting against the bowl as well as for the noise of the shower we used water getting ported into a bucket.

 

For when we were recording all this sound effects we had to make sure that we had no one near us make load noises otherwise the mic would be picking up that sound even though ours self may not be able to hear the noises.

Title : Critically Comparing my Skills, Processes and Methods

1st. Formulate your question:

Look below at what you  are you being asked to evaluate.

Unit 1

U1.2.1 Critically compare a range of communication methods used to convey meaning in creative media production.

Note Critically is similar to compare but concentrate on the things that are different with two or more methods used or what sets them apart. Point out any differences which are particularly significant.

In your own words say what U1.2.1 is asking you to do.
