Unit 1 Digital Images

I have had to change my work that I am doing for Brian which involves the Animation work. My original plan was to do Charlton Athletic but I have discussed it with Brian and now we have decided that it is going to be quite hard to do, so we have decided to do the Southbank as the new topic. The reason why I am no longer doing Charlton is because some of the pictures weren't practical to take. I am now filling in a table to indicate what pictures I am taking, the reason for taking it, how I will get the Picture and how I will edit it. Now I need to add on some Pictures to it and highlight what the main picture is and what are the other main pictures that go with it.

Timeline radio trailer Brian

Now that we have finished our radio play, Brian has asked us to produce a 30 second- 1 minute trailer promoting our radio play, using clips from the radio play and Music to go with the trailer, also have to remember not to give too much away.

Some of the clips can come from the beginning and middle of the play, but try not to take it from the end otherwise it can spoil it or give away.

Also there needs to be a Voiceover to guide the listeners or viewers through the trailer and give them the general gist of what is going on. The clips will be from the radio play I have done in lesson with Ryan, maybe as well in the trailer include some Music that is from the actual Radio play so it fits in and gives it a true feel to the people viewing it.

As well as stated before, it is okay to give away little bits but not too much

Brian Animation

Recently over the last two weeks we have started a new unit with Brian which is Animation. We have been starting off with simple animations on a program called Flash. It is an Animation program which a lot of people haven't used before, we started off making a shape such as a Circle or a Square then making them move. I created a Blue square and made a oval shape using the oval tool on Flash, I made it Green and put it inside the square and then made what is called a Motion Tween and made the oval shape move to the top of the screen and then go back to the centre, and if You keep pressing Enter it will keep doing the animation over and over again.

Brian has told us that soon we will be doing an animation with sound, it might have something to do with the work we have already done for Mike on Logic.

So far, the Flash program looks quite difficult to use, and I have played around with it a few times and was having difficulty, but Brian said we would be able to get the hang of it after a while.

This follows on from the first unit we did, which was choosing a particular topic that You were interested in, and then going out to take Pictures of whatever it was that You chose. Then we were going to edit and animate the pictures.

Work for Brian

The Pictures that I need to take are of Charlton Athletic Football Ground. However I will need to ring up the Ground and ask for Permission to go in and take some Pictures, I need to say I am a Student at Christ the King College: St Mary's in Sidcup, they might let Me but I will probably have to be Supervised as I take the Pictures around the Ground.
