Recycling Video Write Up

I had to change my original idea to something that I could easily create.

One of the main problems I had was that I had no access to a camera so had to use pictures to create my video

I had no actors to take part in my film and even if I did I couldn't film them.

To make up for my lack of equiptment I produced my own track to go with the video.

I got good feeback on the track so was happy with that , I also made the video go in time with the song for example when the song drops pictures of recycling and how you can do your part appear on the screen.

This is my updated storyboard for my finished video.

I had no issues with budget or health and safety because I did everything on my computer at home without having to go out of my way to pay for anything and health and safety really isn't an issue at home. In future Im going to have to invest in a camera so that I can improve my work so that comes under the catagory of budget it just doesn't really apply to this recycling video.

I had a few copyright issues with the photos that I used in my video. I didn't go to the owners of the pictures and ask for permmision to use them so if I was using this video on a mass scale and making money off it , its very likely that somebody would sue me for copyright infrigment.

I had to make editorial decisions as far as deciding what pictures I wanted in my video and I had to edit the video so that the music and the images were in sync , I feel that I did this well and I had to spend a while getting it just right. In some of the feeback I got , it was clear people liked the link beetween the music and the images.

Next time I make a video Im going to have to get hold of a camera because although people liked my video I didn't have any recorded footage in it which people criticised when they gave me feedback.

This is the write up I did about my original ideas.

Recycling Film Overview

The point in this film is to educate and inform about the benefits of recycling and the damage that’s caused when people don’t bother to recycle.

This film is going to be directed at kids and teenagers because adults often already understand the point in recycling and that it’s beneficial to the planet. To make it appeal to younger audiences I’m going to keep everything interesting and not talk about the same thing for too long or talk about something boring. The film is going to be kept to sixty seconds because the younger generations have a tiny attention span.

I’m going to also use a soundtrack that appeals to a younger audience because every device that can be used to grab my audience’s attention should be used, I’m going to make the soundtrack myself and will probably use some dubstep and drum and bass because these appeal to young audiences.

The tag line for the movie is going to be “Wipe out Waste”. This tag line is quick and easy to remember so it helps people remember the film which is what I’m aiming for.

I need to include an explanation of what can and be recycled because teenagers might not be aware of what gets recycled.

This is my original storyboard you can see that the whole idea has completely changed as I had to adapt to my serious lack of equiptment.

Story Board

Fade In From White

I’m going to start with a close up of a can on the ground.

Then pan to a wider shot of everybody walking past it ignoring it.

Drum and bass music creeps in and gets louder and louder.

Close up of feet sprinting .

Cuts back to can

Cuts back to feet sprinting.

Close up of hand picking up the can.

Cuts to can at arm’s length (with actor running really fast and shouting)

Here is a list of the different comments that I recieved from my audience when I presented my video.

Good Music

They liked the fact I made the music

They thought it was age appropriate

Effective Images

Well presented e.g. nice font and slide effects

Relevant content

Bad Points -

One second over a minute

Copyright issues with some of the photos

To many pictures

Needs to be more creative

Recycling Video Reaserch

One reason would be to save resources
All raw materials and all energy are provided by our blue planet Earth, but they are NOT endless.
Unfortunately, most of the provided raw materials and energy are not usable as they appear in Nature and are spread globally in deposits.

Men need to use a lot of energy and resources to produce the materials we need. We have to collect, clean, concentrate, and transform these resources to generate primary raw materials that are usable for people and industry.

Using recycled materials reduces the amount of energy
and reduces the amount of materials we have to dig out!

Different Types Of Brief

Different types of brief

Definition of a brief – A brief it information given to you before you start a task for example if you were a graphic designer your brief would contain information about what type of art your client is asking you to produce.

Contracted brief, negotiated, informal, formal, commission, tender, co-operative and competition

A brief doesn’t necessarily have to be followed word for word, their more of a general outline of what your trying to achieve at the end.

Here is an example of a brief from an agency in the music industry. This is a shorter brief than most which leaves what their looking for open to interpretation. “MEMPHIS BLUES SONGS and INSTRUMENTALS a la B.B. King, Furry Lewis, Junior Parker, Frank Stokes, etc., needed by a successful Music Publisher based in L.A. who's gotten tons of great Film/TV placements for many TAXI members. Your songs and/or instrumentals MUST have an AUTHENTIC Memphis Blues sound! Remember, your soulful, world-weary vocal or lead instrument must add atmosphere, emotion, or mood when put to picture. Male or Female vocals are okay. Vocal and instrumental presentations must be excellent! Recordings need to be Broadcast Quality (great home recordings should be fine). They offer a non-exclusive, 50/50 split deal - you keep your original copyrights. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS ONLY - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than Monday, October 17, 2011. TAXI # Y111017MB” A contracted Brief A contracted brief is a brief connected to a contract for example if you worked for a web designer your contract might give you a task to create a website for something like a plumbing company, the brief might contain information about what types of images they would like on the webpage or what type of theme they wanted .The contract side of it would come in with details like they want their website up and running within two months and they want to organise a meeting to discuss the progress a month into the contract. They contract also includes the money side of things e.g. I will build you the website that you want but I want 20% deposit before I start. Negotiated Brief A negotiated brief is a brief that has been discussed and changed to best fit the needs of the client and the company providing the service for example if somebody came into your business and wanted you to make them a short film in one month, you could say I will do that for you but I’m going to have to charge you more than regular as were busy at the moment and we would normally take more time to produce something like this. Negotiations will then begin between the client and the provider until both are happy with the arrangement and the brief has been changed and adjusted to the appropriate budget. An informal brief is a less official brief than for example a contracted brief because it’s basically just an instruction, for example your boss could walk up to you and brief you on the task he wants you to complete and then you can go off and do it because there is often no need for negotiation and contracts for simple and quick tasks. A formal brief could be something like a meeting where everybody sits down and discussed what needs to be done, and in what order they should be done. An example of this would be a meeting between the organisers before a big event briefing each other on what’s going to happen within different aspects of the event.
