 My story is going to be based around horror. In my story i will have 4-5 main characters including  •mother •a friend of the daughter •daughter  •a mysterious figure characteristic  These 4 characters will all play a very important role in my short story, however there will also be backing characters and people here and there. Some settings of my story will include a home, a forest, a basement etc. Some plot of my story is that her dad needs to tell the daughter something after being missing for years, so he tries to reach out to her, one day kiddnapping her so everyone goes crazy as she is missing. But what does he need to tell her? why did he disappear? why is it so urgent? The title of my story is ‘missing’.

 The song we are using for out 3 angle music video is we like to party by the vengaboys. Some other ideas were the ymca and little by little.

 There was a camera man sat in the lift for 3 months, analizing different types of people coming in and out the lift, such as the elderly, kids, middle aged people, and even animals. Each person had a different personality so it made the documentary interesting. The documentary went into a lot of detail, cutting from the people in the lift to the lift going up and down. There was even a fly that the camera man kept cutting to in the lift and it got older throughout to show the passing of time. REVIEW I think the documentary was really interesting and was made really well. It was very detailed. The camera man made sure he got different angles/zoom ins of people at the right time. He got the interesting people in the documentary and cut people out who people may not have been as interested in. One thing i would change is that he could put the times of day, what day it was etc as it could have shown the change in people over time.

DOCUMENTARY For my documentary, I am working with Josh and Jack and we are studying the makeup department and what they do on a day to day. We will be getting footage of the different styles of makeup in the process of them,  such as sfx and subtle, and how they contrast. We will also be doing interviews with two of the makeup students and the course leader (Nina). We will be asking them one question each such as what their favourite makeup look is, most challenging or least favourite. As for Nina, we will be asking her questions such as what made her want to go into teaching makeup and her favourite and least favourite parts about the job. We will also get some footage of Nina teaching the students and how she does it etc. On day one, we had to plan out what we were going to do our documentary on, as it had to be something to do with college in 60 seconds. We chose makeup as we thought it would be interesting as there course is quite different and creative, so there would be many ...

 At the beginning of the lesson, We had to choose a song to talk about. We had to choose two things we like about it and two things we would change about the music video. I chose focus by Ariana Grande and it is a dance music video with different backgrounds and editing effects. The things i said i liked about it was the way the lighting and the camera angles contrasted to engage the viewer. Something i said i didn't like about it was how repetitive it was so it could get a bit boring for people to watch the same thing the whole way through it.and it might make them loose interest. Next, we had to watch different music videos and say the type of video they are and make contrasts between them. After that we were put in groups and set the task to make a music video. Music Video Plan: - Freya's Ideas; goodbye yellow brick road - elton john, lucy in the sky with diamonds - the beatles, knee deep at atp - lovejoy artistic style idea 1 - see one person standing in different locations...

PRE PRODUCTION At the beginning of this project, We had to get into groups of 3/4 and express ideas for a logo. To do this we had to express things about ourselves onto pintrest or write it down to create a logo that was similar to who we are and what we felt like. Next, we had to come up with an idea of what we thought would be a fitting song for our AD. We chose wonderful Christmas time- covered by Harry styles. After we had done this, we had a week to actually create a logo for it. In the next lesson, we put this all together into a power point with the idea we chose to do. Our ad was about to friends that meet up every year to gift each other a present but do not see each other throughout the year. In our ad we show when they are teens, in their twenties, fourty's and elderly's. However when they are elderly, only one friend turns up for the gift swap thinking their friend has passed which is the emotional part of our ad however the twist in it is that the friend was just l...
