Week Two

This week we have been getting important information on the technical standards our final output has to be. That means the broadcast students or technical staff will run our films through different tests making sure its fit to broadcast. We had a lesson with the course leader of broadcaster who showed a powerpoint on how he wants the final output file to be. Then we went to the broadcast room where they had loads of fancy equipment and showed us exactly what tests our films were going to be put through. This has giving me a big insight and made me think a lot about our film and how it looks. The reason is you cant have a certain red or you cant have to many flashing images at once ect. Lucky enough we havent got any of these issue to worry about in our final year film and we only really need to worry about the output file.

I have also been working on the 3d Maya scene modelling our jungle environment and been playing around with different render settings.

Week One

During the first week we have been giving a brief and the assessable criteria. We have to first setup a blog called professional skills and keep a track of what we are doing week to week. For this project we have to create a showreel which will be used at our degree show. This will show off my best work for employers and give them a sense of what im good at and what path i want to go down.

In total there are 22 shots for the smoking elephant film, a timetable has been created to help plan our work and make things run smoothly.

This is the timetable my group leader has given me to follow.

Here is my individual contract.
