Evaluation Prezi

Penumbra short film evaluation presentation on Prezi

Short presesntation documenting our progress

This is a small presentation made even smaller by the fact that our teacher was using a new HD camera and didnt know how much space there was on the SD card but it is still very helpfull in the fact that it documents some of our progress.

It was kindly uploaded by Richard our technition and to view the video click play below:

Production log 4

Yesterday we filmed our penultimate production log, bringing you up to date with our progress throughout the course and future tasks and ideas that we wanted to share with you.

We discussed vast amounts of research and ideas that we wanted to share and develop upon together before the production log so check out some previous posts to read what we are briefly discussing here.

Production log 3, Presenting our Final cut express effects

We set about making this production log a little different to our usual production log entries because we had just had a tutorial on how to use Final cut express, we ended up using the end of the actual production log because we wanted to manipulate it within Final cut express to practice and show our learning experience. Feel free to watch the video below and laugh at us, not with us, at us, due to our very individual sense of humor.

Production Log 3 (Experience in Editing) from Blaine Kenneally on Vimeo.

We do only have access to Final cut express and we were informed that their will be certain limitations between using the express version and this can be seen within the video. We created a mask over myself to turn me black and white but within the express version we could only create a box/square mask around me and then bevel the edges which looked good but not to the professional standard that we desire our film to be, so in order to achieve this standard we may use a different editing program to achieve this one effect known as the 'Sin city' effect.

December schedule

To keep on top of the work that we have to complete throughout the project, both myself and Blaine thought it would be a good idea to outline the posts that we will complete over December. We wanted to do this because we also have other work to do as well as exams to revise for, so if we set out a basic structure for over the December holiday then we could stick to the plan and complete over work around this.

Blaine has created a post with each separate post that we delegated to each other and he will turn each task into a link to the post after the work has been completed to view this post and follow the links within the post click the first hyperlink below:

Production Log 2

Our second production log can be seen on my Co-director, Blaine Kenneally's blog as he kindly uploaded the second instalment to our ongoing production log/research/analogy/evaluation videos.
In my opinion this is a very good way for us to track our progression throughout the course and it is working great so far. Our teachers also like the frequent updates to.

Bellow is a link to the critical/analytical/amusing second video:

Production log

Today we filmed our first production log of many to come as this is a great way to monitor progress and tell you what we plan to do in the future, report if this was completed and then set new goals for the following weeks.

Initial ideas pitch to potential consumers

This is our first presentation giving you an insight into some of the ideas we want to incorporate into our short film. We did research on what a short film conventinally consists of, a bit of history about them, some typical genres and narratives as well as pitching to our class (the bottom end of our potential age bracket for consumers)what our interesting narrative would be aswell as some music that could be used.
We want to make a very psycological short film which explores the actions of others and how the very helpfull and selflisness citerzen can often go unoticed.
To view our 20 minute pitch (ironic that the pitch is longer than the final product) watch the video bellow kindly uploaded by my co-director. Blaine Kenneally
