Editing

Today I have begun editing the title sequence with the clothing shop shots added by Nassia and the shots of headphones and records added by Babz. To complete it I will later add the music and make the shots link with the music.

Filming The Music Elements.

Today i filmed all the music aspects of of opening title sequence in camden. I managed to find a few things which related to music which  were the sound activated t-shirts, a rack of head phones and a wall of old record disks. I intially didnt think filming would be as hard as it was. I found that it was far too busy for me too keep a steady hand (because i used my own camera, i didnt have a tripod). Because of the masses of people in camden, i found that it was hard to get a good shot first time which meant i had to film the same thing several times and at the end review which shots were good enough to use. as well as this, things i had expected to find in camden that i thought would work well in the opening sequence, i didnt find like the music shop or the buskers which i usually see when i go.

Title sequence filming

I have filmed and uploaded street art and other art pieces for our title sequence in Camden. I have also added the logo to the end of the footage. We will begin editing this footage next lesson and when the rest of the footage, including sport, music and fashion, is filmed we will put the title sequence together.

Website's Music Page...

This is the first draft of the music page for \TRILL'S website. It has been annotated so that when i begin designing the actual website, i have something to refer back to. I have done a brief layout of where i want my articles, pictures ect to go but have yet to decide on the pages colour scheme.

Articles for the website

Today I started thinking about all the different articles we could feature on the website. I came to the conclusion that all the articles that will be written have to suit our target audience therefor subjects such as fashion, sport and things to do with our youth group will have to be presented on the website.
I reckon having different pages for each of these matters will be more informative for the viewers of the website and will also produce a more of an in depth insight to that specific issue for those who are more interested in it, making our new site suitable for everyone, having matters that everyone is interested in.

Analysis of News Packages




In today's lesson, i started analysing a news package so we could begin to understand how they are structured and how its content is organised to keep the audience interested. I looked at a BBC news report and 'Global Youth Unemployment' that i found on youtube.



The clip starts with a midshot of the presenter looking directly into the camera and introducing the topic. this allows us to briefly familiarise ourselves with the presenter but also introduces the subject of discussion. He doesn't talk about the topic in too much detail with the kowledge that the news report will do so.






The next thing shown to us is a panning camera movement which sets the scene for the report, a factory. The  'BBC WORLDNEWS' logo still remains at the bottom right of the scream. 





A few filler shots that add body to the report are then used while the voice  over plays.

The news reported is then shown walking towards the camera whilst speaking. He begins to go into  more detail about the topic which in this case is youth unemployment. His body language is formal at the same time as welcoming in a way. His hand gestures are a from of communication with the audience and he seems to be looking directly into the camera and building a relationship with his audience through the way he communicates even if it is only for 5 minutes. His attire is formal and smart in order to communicate proffesionalism.


He then introduces the subjects as people experiencing the topic of discussion. they dont talk but the are still given camera time.






The presenter the inroduces a Head Teacher. This choice or interviewee possibly comes about people as a head teacher, youth unemployment would be an important topic. His status gives the piece some reliability.

Analysis of BBC News Report

After the news title sequence the news reader introduced the report in a close up shot.

The news reporter then began talking about the subject the report was about in a different location that is relevant to the story, in a mid shot.

A scenario was then shown in an establishing shot.

A vox pop was then shown where the news reporter asked someone related to the report about what he thought. This is usually done in a short reverse shot, but here is done in a two shot

Then went back to the news reporter in a mid shot, where he finished the report and summed it up


Back to the news reader in a close up who moves on to the next story.

Fashion Aspect

For a part of our news channel we have a fashion page. For this
babz and i have taken pictures of people from our age group who have an interest in fashion and asked them who inspired their 'look.'
Mostly it was the medias most common celebrities, mainly in the music industry, that have inspired their dress sense. When we official post all the pictures on our TRILL website, we will have a top 10 of the looks and then compare to the celebrities they were looking up too. We've not only look at the outfits they wore as a whole, but also the small details, such as the chain on top of the done up collar, etc.

Update On Music Article


In todays lesson, i completed the article on an up and coming musician  so when the website is near finished i can add the article to the music page.

NEW UP AND COMING ARTIST NATALIE GOOD RELEASES HER FIRST SINGLE.
Natalie good, one of London’s emerging vocalists has released her first single after being signed to record label BigBeats. After working on her music career individually for more than 4 years, she was spotted by the BigBeats Director Anthony Michael who stumbled across her during a performance she did at a London club. He then contacted her through her agent and they both decided that joining BigBeats would benefit Natalie’s music career the most. Her new track entitled “Swaying” features another emerging artist Chillah. Although they have yet to film a music video for their track, an audio is available on Youtube and can also be downloaded on itunes. Natalie’s biggest fan, her mum, is said to be “over the moon” about the signing and although she no longer manages her daughter, believes strongly in the BigBeats management team.

Logo ideas...

In today's lesson, i came up with a few logo ideas which are representations of who we are and where we are located.

The first logo i designed is basically a rectange with the word 'TRILL' written inside. However, unlike my other two designs the letter 'I' is dotted with the London Eye instead of the usual dot. If possible, i would like the minature London Eye to move round in a circular motion constantly. I would like the inside of the rectangle to be white, the letters to be red and the London-Eye to be black. I feel that after assessing other news logos, these are the most popular.


The second logo i came up with incorporates the Big Ben. an iconic London landmark. It would be very easy to make on photoshop and looks simple but at the same time nice. I did a bubble type writing for the letters and would hope to do the same if i were to use photoshop. I would also like to find a sketched version of the Big Ben to use in this logo in order to conform to its simplicity. The inside of the circle would probably be either grey or black as i find these colours to be proffesional.






The third an final logo i designed is 'TRILL' but with the London-Eye behind it. My plan is to edit it so that the wheel moves round in a circular motion behind the letters. I think this idea is better than the first one because the other two seem simpler and less visually appealing. This logo is challenging but can be a success if done properly. Again, i would like to get a stencil of the London Eye from the Internet and just edit it. I would hope to use black for the London-Eye itself and red for the 'TRILL' letters. This would stand out from other logos.

Title Sequence: FINAL

On the 1st October we recorded the final footage for our title sequence. We decided to film objects that we all use on a daily basis, for example, toast popping out of the toaster and coffee coming out of the coffee machine and into a mug. We chose to film these things because we gathered that everyone can relate to them on a daily routine somewhat portraying the message that our news channel will be a 'daily routine' to watch as well. We originally watched as many news title sequences to get inspiration and finally decided to focus on Daybreak's sequence. It focus' on its target audiences daily routine such as the school run moreover where we essentially got our idea from.

Over & out, Nass.
