Pre-Production for Specialist Study






Assessment presentation

Articulate and persuade through visual and verbal presentation that merits of a particular working methodology designed to achieve specific outcomes.


In this reel of still images you are able to see were they got their Pre-Production images to make the final image for the film.



  • Comic books, as a popular art form, have become a popular vehicle for film


  • The standard practice has been to adapt a comic book to a film under the standard plot and visual structures of action films instead of maintaining the unique point of view and look of the comic book

  • This is often used for short momentary sequences in film, but the Digital Backlot process uses only the green screen environment for the whole film. In this way the actors are shot on a set that is entirely blanketed with this green surfacing. This allows the post-production effects people to construct and entirely artificial world for the actors to inhabit. The advantage of this is to create something hyperreal, which mimics some of the aspects of the real world in a way that is surreal and imaginative


  • This began with films like Casshern, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, and Immortal, which all proved it was entirely possible to forgo the imagery of the real world for one that was entirely created by post-production artists







the images above are screen shots from the movie plus images from the comics witch they used as their storyboard guide to produce the film.



Define and engage in significant research activity relating to one or more specialist areas of related study

individuals will have a strong sense of cartoon anatomy and the ability to conceive monstrous figures as well as mechanical ones. This role will be responsible for taking characters from concept to completion including animation. Artists will work closely with Animators to implement characters into environments

must be able to develop unique visual concepts, draw effectively both freehand and via graphic programs like Illustrator and communicate well

experience in visual storytelling and visual communication



Identify and engage with a target audience through the construction of clear and articulate set of defining principles that underpin project design



In the top part of the image you can see a group of children plus an image of Alien. When making the film Alien, Ridley Scotts marketing directors would not of aimed this product at this generation. They would have been more likely to have aimed it at boys in thier late teens and young men.
The second part of the image shows the same children but with an image of the power rangers. When they decided to make the power rangers it was aimed at children in this age region. I also think that they added female characters in the programme power rangers as a way of having girls as thier audience to.







A mature responsibility demonstrated by completion (to agreed deadlines) of set tasksature and professional

E4 STING FOR MONDAY NIGHT MOVIES



CREATE A TV PROMO FOR E4 PUBLICISING THEIR MONDAY NIGHT MOVIE STRAND


Brief:

Create a TV Promo for E4 publicising their Monday Night Movie strand.

Target Audience:

E4’s audience are young and savvy. They come to E4 for a good dose of escapist entertainment. Some of it is brand defining, high quality and innovative – shows like Dead Set, Skins and The Inbetweeners, whilst some of it is good fodder for when you want to chill out – a classic episode of Friends anyone? E4’s viewers have a strong relationship with the channel but increasingly spend their time media stacking – watching TV whilst texting, or hanging out

on social networks. It is harder and harder to get viewers’ attention.

HOW WOULD YOU VISUALISE OUR ECONOMIC SITUATION?

You become what you think about...

When you examine the logic of this connection, it is apparent if you become what you think about, then performance and behavior changes can be affected by altering the way you think. Your thought process, therefore, is the point where changes need to happen. It is your thought process that affects how you express yourself and who you become.

Much the same as the earth grows what is sowed, so our brains also grow the thoughts (the 'thinking seeds') we entertain. Our brain cultivates them and gives them nutrients and sustenance. These 'thinking seeds' ultimately determine who we become, how we deal with issues, how we solve problems and how we present ourselves. The challenge then becomes how to control what is planted in our brain - how to sow the right 'thinking seeds'.
