Rotten Tomatoes is a company that reviews film, among other things. Their ratings are highly celebrated.

While reviewing teh films, i intend to be thinking what rating I would give.

(Rotten Tomatoes, 2019)

Brontes -

I think that Bronte’s publication fits the brief and is fun and bold. I think it compliments her film well while still being a stand-alone publication. part is the front and back covers which have been connected through meticulous bookbinding. I think teh attention to detail here is really beautiful adn adds a level of professionalism to her work.

Mias -

I think that the bookbinding structure that she created with her publication is unique and creative. I think it fits the brief and compliments her film well. The colours and the arrangement of the publication work well and tell a story with limited words.

1. What narratives are you reproducing with this film/ narratives

are you countering with this film? Why did you do it this way?

In my film, im trying to counteract the narrative that has been forced on sharks. I’m trying to make people more aware of the harsh reality sharks face. I’ve done this through a documentary-style film, which will include video footage from new reports, shark-based film and footage of them in their natural habitats.  I’ve done it this way as felt the documentary style would make it feel more deep and real.

2. If this film were to be categorised under a moving image

theme/genre, which categories would it fall under? Why?

It would fall as a documentary. I wanted my film to have a sense of reality with it which contrasts the unreality of shark films. I also wanted the film to feel factual and a reliable source to listen to.

3. Where did you make critical decisions?

(editing decisions, sounds, subject matter)

My use of pacing throughout my short film will Hopefully build feelings in people. The pacing should complement the videos being shown adn evoke feelings within the viewer.

Now reflect on how your film has been ‘decoded’

1. What arguments/ideas are you proposing to the audience interested in

such a genre/topic?

My film is about teaching people about the reality of sharks and how this is different from the way that the media shows them.

2. Does your film tell us more about you or more about the subject?

How? And why?

At the end of the film, there is a section full of facts and figures and ways that people can donate to help. I have done this as I felt it was important to allow the viewer to do something positive with the heavy facts I had just shown them.

3. How does your position impact the communication towards your

intended audience?

What have you learnt from this?

Throughout this process, I have gained an understanding of sharks that I never had before which was something that i wanted to teach my audience. My position will be based on the imformation that i have decided to learn which could be biased. i have learnt that its imporant to be continusly learning and be open to hearing all sides of the argument even if you dont agree.

Questions -

Does the film have impact?

•

Does it show us something in a new way?

•

Does it answer the brief?

•

Which techniques worked well?

•

Are there places it doesn’t work as well?

•

Which aspects of the visual and audio stand out?

•

Is there a distinct style or tone to the film?

•

What next for this film? Add or subtract? Is it missing something? Could it be extended?

Millie T -

birds of the baseline

I think that Millie’s short film is fun and exciting. I think it’s connecting two things that we wouldn’t necessarily put together but that fit together well. In terms of the brief Millie has created a film above 15 seconds and below two minutes and it’s showing us something new about our world. She has used found imagery and has used a variety of different editing techniques. I think that the layering of sound and imagery works well. I think that the split screen works well and it compliments the footage. I enjoy it when the bird is dancing and it’s split screen with someone DJing i think that this is a great visual. I think the music works great and compliments the beat of the birds which i think is impressive. I think that it could have been more experimental with some of teh footage with changing the colours more layering etc.

Eleanor  Carpenter-

Innocence and Promiscuity

the film was created to showcase Lolita style, Feminity and sexuality. the first thing that drew me to this film was teh music and how well it fits in with teh image being shown. I think Eleanor has timed the pacing perfectly. I didnt know what Lolita style was before watching but now i feel i ahve a better understanding. I think that the beginning of the film is what stands out the most with no music just someone saying something then the person’s voice stops and the music comes in. Again i think the timing works well. I like how all teh colours complement each other and teh work is fluid through teh similar emotions which each scene gives. The distinct style is loita. I think that this film hits all teh points on teh brief with footage, timings and editing. I think that film isn’t missing anything i think if it was any longer I think it would lose what makes it create that it’s just a taste of the style and world.

Robin Whalley

do you believe in Unicorns?

I thought that this film was an interesting concept. I liked the use of old footage and the music that went along with it. I was a little confused with the euphoria clips embedded into teh film as I felt this didnt complement teh other footage and felt like a mistake. As said in teh beginning it is a glimpse into their mind which I think is taking the brief interestingly and excitingly. I think that overall it does reflect the brief. I think that the collection of footage is well-sourced and mainly has a similar vibe. the film is on repeat which I think looks a bit messy i think with more time more found footage could be added in to make it longer.

# data[].attributes.body
I wasnt sure if the way i had printedc teh dying coral reef worked succesffully wiht it having a bit of colour so i wanted to expierment to see it without the colour. After printing our botha dn comparin i decided that the one iwth colour worked better adn would make it less difficult for kids to udnerstand.

# data[].attributes.body
Having this be teh only page with a typeface was an interesting decision that im still unsure about. I think that i could hand write it, but I think it would take away from teh factual style I was going for.

# data[].attributes.body
For this page I wanted to make it simple like other designs I have seen. I also wanted there to be parts of teh activity pack shown in teh title page as I want them all to flow well.

The title was inpisred by pother activity books i had seen as this wasnt inpsired by another book but by facts i thought it worked well.

# data[].attributes.body
Typeface - Kefa done on Procreate.

I think there are too many words on teh back, I think I could do a page of fact files and just have teh names on the cards.

I also prefer the handwritten text it feels more .....

# data[].attributes.body
I think the idea is really successful and will be a good educational tool for kids.

My only problem is teh cut out part on teh coloured coral reef clear enough. and do I need to have the white outline on teh black and white coral reef?

# data[].attributes.body
Using the technical brush and round brush on Procreate.

I think that the colour palette is successful and i think that the type face works well for what im trying to create - an activity pack for kids.

Next -

I want to add more facts to teh pack of teh cards - I might try using a made font over my handwriting to make it seem more factual.

i also think i need to add in a warning about using sciccors.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that his is a relly simple way of explaining that reefs need there colour to function. Not sure if restore is teh right work - not sure if kids will understand this language yet. as i feel like my audience for these will be young. 0-5 yo ?

I designed it in Procreate and I think it's a good start. From feedback I want to change the puzzle piece shape and make them linked to the painting - the shape of teh coral reef.

Im glad i was able to use my watercolour from teh experimentation as i feel like its a successful painting.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to use some of the paintings I did for the experimentation in these but I also want to experiment with using watercolours further.

I also want to experiment with procreate as i feel the more cartoon style is common in activity packs - inspired by my research on the bloombury website.

Notes on film day

We started teh day byu being assigned in groups whuere the overall themes of the videos worked togather.

The roles that needed to be filled -

Space makers - I was apart of this group.

poster/handout for the films

technology

filmreel creators

We decided to ahev 4 screens to dhow teh film as everyone wanted different ways of showing their films it also meant teh reels wouldnt be too long. We had 2 projectors one big tv and one old Tv screen.

I wanted my film to be shown on a projector becaus it focus

ed on film and I thought it would make sense for it to be on a projector. This was also a reflection on how people would have seen Jaws in the cinema.

Regarding the space makers we split into groups to create teh two separate rooms. In our room, we wanted to create a cinema-like vibe as we had teh projector adn the tv and felt it could work for both we covered the light with coloured tissue paper to get a good colour in the room and then we borrowed a light that could create a nice orange colour to match. We wanted to add in soem more details so got some recycled cardboard from teh canteen and cut out stars which we painted organe,red adn yellow to match teh cairs and the tissue paper.

Overall I thought it was successful and created a good vibe for people to come into adn enjoy the showreels.

# data[].attributes.body
Made in idesign and procreate.

I think taht this is a good start and i think i could work more into this design - making the boat look better and making the net look more realistic.

Im worried about the colour looking dfferent when printed so this is soemthing i will need to epxlore before printing properly.

Next -

Next i would like to try a differnt design but with teh same text and backgorund. i would like to see what it would look like wiuth one of my stamp sharks.

# data[].attributes.body
These designs were inspired by the Jaws poster. I thought it would be interesting to reinvent the poster to be more in line with teh message of my short film.

# data[].attributes.body
As my film is about changing the narrative about sharks, I thought it would be interesting to take a film poster about sharks and change it to fit more in with my message while still including a shark film poster that promotes the harmful narrative.

I think all these poster are good and are teh reason i made the film - contrasting what sharks are really like. I think I want to take fowards the jaws poster as this poster is so iconic that I know most people will understand what I mean i am inspired by it. I don think I could say the same for the other posters.

Title -

Misunderstood

Synopsis -

Using a documentary style, this short film visually explores the contrast between sharks in film and sharks in the wild.

# data[].attributes.body
What I did -

For this draft I took advice from Adrian and I changed around some of the text to make the flow of reading better for the viewer I also added a rolling credit to make it look more professional and follow the documentary style that I was using throughout. I changed the typeface as I felt like the font I was using (Times) wasn't matching well with my film. So I tried a few different fonts and landed on Helvetica Neue - condensed bold.

What went well -

I finally have ended up with a film which I think is successful in getting my point across. I think that each part of the film is successful. The build up works well and I think it will create a sense of fear and hope in people.

# data[].attributes.body
What I did -

For these two drafts, they are quite too different in teh changes that I made. In these drafts, I add in a title and text to make it look more professional. I wanted to get some more advice so I set up a meeting with Adrian, my seminar tutor, as one of teh seminars was about hyperreality I thought he would be a good person to get some notes from.

What went well -

I think that overall my project has moved forward successfully after my talk with my tutor and my seminar leader, I feel like my film now has a meaning and flows well.

What I could do better next time -

I now want to take forward Adrian's notes and have the film be in its final draft.

Notes from Adrian Tutorial -

Film notes

Francesca page

Roll of credits

Play around with fonts

quite a corporate font, I’m using formal

Softer transitions between the last frame

Likes the transition

Likes the build, then the silence

Some changes on the text, removing some of it to make it shorter

Change the ending so that it fades

Edits I wanna make

Next step is to research/ experiment with different fonts to make sure the one I’m using is the vibe I wanna create.

I also wanna go through and make sure all the text is staying long enough for people to read it.

I need to think about credits - do I wanna add a rolling credit citing what I have used in the film.

I also want to make sure the film clips are equal distance from each other. I want to create a rhythm.

Using the Bloombury research into activities packs are infucence i experimented with how i could translate my research about coral reefs into activities for children.

I think that i will need to pull back from the more intense information that i was showing in my concentration as this will be targeted at kids. I want to show them whats happeneing in the world without scaring them.

Tutor Feedback -

Make the puzzle pieces less square and more the shape of the actual coral reef.

# data[].attributes.body
This Concentina is exploring teh sequences of how if sharks are extinct through overfishing, how this will affect the coral reefs.

Overall, I thought that this was a good start into the designs that I want to incorporate into my final publication. The blank pages would have writing on them which would be small facts to back up what I'm showing within my illustrations.

I think that this isn't going to be the format i go with for my final publication as i feel like there is too much empty space to fill in the time limit that i have. I would also have to think about the back of teh concentina which would also take too long.

i would like to think further about my format and maybe look into activity books/zines to be the format where my illustrations will sit.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to research a bit into activity packs as I feel like the topic of teh ocean is always a good place for kids to learn about and an activity pack could be a good way for them to learn. Overall, my idea is looking at teh decline of teh shark population and teh negative effect this will have on coral reefs.

My only problem would be that this topic is too dark to tell kids, and is there a way around this?

The good thing is that this topic is very colourful and would intrigue kids to learn.

A Beginner’s Guide to Bearspotting

Michelle Robinson and David Roberts - in this activities pack you cut out cards of bears to match them with each other. 0-5. i really like the similitie of this activity pack and how the drawings are really engaging.

Marsh road mysteries, diamonds and daggers. - This activity pack is for an older age range, 9-11, so has more words and brain activities. i think that this would be boring to create as i want to mainly focus on illustration So i think a younger audience would be better.

Idea -

I think it could be interesting to paint different types of coral for kids to cut out and put on top of a dead coral reef. it would need to explain why/how coral reefs can regrow. - not sure if this topic is too intense for children though.

# data[].attributes.body
This Concentina was created by artist John Walker - ‘Under the Trees Bedervale’ 2011 concertina artist book gouache on Chinese paper 28 x 460cm (unfolded).

This form of book is interesting and is almost an art piece just by itself. Using just imagery is something I want to explore, I think telling a story in this way is powerful and allows the viewer to understand what you are trying to say.

Under the Trees Bedervale is an interesting work. the colours stay constant throughout, which aligns nicely when the book is spread out.

Working on some of the pages works well, it creates different forms within teh book, which creates a nice contrast throughout.

I would like to try using this format for my imagery.

From this I also created a book/zine of this imagery so that it was telling the sequence more poetically. I think that it works but i don't think that the imagery looks good together i think if i do go ahead with this I need to make my illustration more detailed.

# data[].attributes.body
I think tatht his works really well. I have also had people watch it to get an idea of what other people are thinking. Overall teh message was understood and people enjoyed watching. The warning at the front was definitely needed as people are scared of sharks this was praised.

I need to now add in little details and sharpen up the text and clips. I need to add in more text at the end and put in teh companies that are working towards helping sharks so that there is hope at the end of the video. i need to also come up with a title and put it at the start of the film.

# data[].attributes.body
I dont think that this works as well as I was hoping. I think that it does work, however I'm not sure the contrast is big enough. I also think doing it this way, there isn't a clear message being said. I want my work to be impactful.

In my next draft, I want to separate the shark film clips and the real sharks. I also want to think about putting in text to help explain my message further. As this is such a short film, I need to be clear and precise with what I'm saying so that my message does come across how I want it too.

Edits -

in draft 8 i want to edit some of teh clips at teh beginning to crop them so they don't have borders.

# data[].attributes.body
After speaking to a tutor, I think that I need to take out some of the footage that I have found. There isn't a clear idea of what I'm trying to tell the viewer with my film.

We decided that going with teh clear definition between how sharks are portrayed in film to how they are in real life was a good idea and I would be able to achieve this with teh clips I had already found.

I also feel like I need to be sensitive when talking about other people's food cultures as I don't want my work to offend anyone.

In my next two drafts, I want to try two things. Cutting the hurting shark footage and David Attenborough's voice. I want to try putting the shark film footage before the peaceful sharks swimming. then have ocean sounds playing with teh peaceful swimming. In the second attempt i want to put the shark film clips before the peaceful swimming sharks and have this no sound and still have the ocean sound playing with teh peaceful sharks.

I think this will make my message clear.

How the decreased population of sharks affects coral reefs -

By Catch -

Bycatch is a term used to explain the fish caught in teh nets by accident. For example, sharks get caught in nets trying to catch tuna.

This example of poor sustainable fishing is something that occurs around the world.

Overfishing

Shark Finning

As this is for kids, I'll be working with quite basic ideas, which I have mainly come up with through water seaspriacty and playing with sharks documentaries.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like it could be interesting to show what came before mass fish farming.

I like how I have used the stamp throughout my story as it collects my work together. I also think that their illustration simply gives a powerful message. However, I feel like I need to add in another technique to make the book more experimental.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the contrast between teh first and second illustration is too drastic, I think there needs to be a few more sharks in teh second for the sequence to flow better.

I like how this is visually showing the loss of sharks and I like the pattern/textures that teh stamp has used. I used watercolour instead of ink to get a watery like texture to relate the animal to its home - the ocean.

# data[].attributes.body
For this I was inspired by the process of coral bleaching. I'm not sure how accurate these drawings are, which is something I would like to research further.

The use of watercolour works well and teh colours i was able to produce show a drastic change that is currently happening to reefs around teh world. I want this book to provoke a feeling of sadness in the reader.

# data[].attributes.body
Format - Concentina

materials - mutiple

From my experimentation, I saw a lot of sequences building from it. I thought it would be interesting to see how these would layer together and work together to create a powerful message about the decrease in teh shark population.

# data[].attributes.body
Collage made out of magazine pages.

# data[].attributes.body
Layer with different materials and techniques.

The use of red creates a different vibe than when I used blue for the sharks. It creates an evil feeling like there's a mass of evil in teh sea. Im not sure if this is the vibe I want to have my book as it's about looking out for sharks not to kill them.

I do think that the red could be used, but I think on a smaller scale would be better.

I started with printing my stamp using the red ink press. Then I went in with a red pastel/crayon to build texture. Finally I added in black pen to add another layer and to define the sharks' outlines.

# data[].attributes.body
This was inspired by the sequence I made in the initial design process for this publication. I decided from the initial drawings that creating a stamp would be a good way of creating multiple sharks to show the decline of the population.

I think that this is successful and I want to push this further with experimentation and layering.

Initial ideas -

sequences

overfishing/bycatch

decline of ecosystems due to no sharks

coral bleaching/destruction with nets

educational? narrator? storytelling?

or do I want it to be minimal, simple drawings? more impactful and experimenting with a new style.

concentinia book -

Looking at a reef's ecosystem is how humans are destroying this ecosystem, the back could be what can be done to reverse the damage.

starting point -

Do i want to experiment with being 3D - different shape not just A5/rectangle.

Research - The mass killing of sharks and teh impact that this will have on coral reefs.

# data[].attributes.body
The first sequence of drawings is looking at my research surrounding overfishing/bycatch. Even though the fish in our oceans is declining at an alarming rate, fishing seems to be increasing with this decline. Bycatch is one of the major problems with this type of fishing, no fish company can guarantee that their fishing is sustainable. I want to explore this corrupt industry.

The next sequence is about teh coral reefs dying. I thought that to expand on this, it would be interesting to play around with colour, as I feel that this would be good in provoking emotion.

The third sequence is looking at food chains and how they can crumble if everything isn't working properly together. This food chain is looking at coral reefs and teh effect that having no sharks would do to it. I would like to continue a bit of research so that I'm accurate on what would happen to the ecosystem if this did happen.

The last sequence is looking at false claims on packaging inspired by research found in teh documentary Seaspiracy. This documentary exposed the truth behind 'dolphin safe' labels, which are false and cannot be guaranteed.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a brainstorm of all teh ideas i have already explored. I did this to see if i wanted to research further into one or if i needed to come up with a new direction that still related to what i have already done.

Draft 1 of image and sound

What I did -

For this draft I wanted to experiment with my sound adn found imagery for the primer task. This was a quick rough of a few of the images I printed for the first workshop. I wanted to go back to the start of the project after I watched the Becoming Led Zeppelin documentary, as they have a lot of layered imagery and techniques I want to try.

What went well -

I think that this is an interesting start. It needs a lot of work.

What I could do better next time -

In terms of what I could do better, I think I need to make sure the imagery matches the vibe that my sound is creating. I think that my sound had a dark undertone, so I want to change my imagery slightly to match the sound effect. I would like to try out more techniques as well.

Hyperreality - The Fake, the real and the hyperreal

The only way is Essex (TOWIE) - A reality Tv show

How much of this is real? or is it just dramatised and scripted?

Looking at the difference between an episode of teh show VS On Good Morning Britain. What is more real? is the new broadcast more censored and teh episodes aren't does this make teh show more real? Are they being fake as they have a more prominent set/camera than they are used to? Or is this more what they are like as they don't have to act as if they are being asked personal questions about them, not about the 'character' on the show?

Boris Johnson on a zip line. (gets stuck)

Trying to make himself more likeable. Trying to make himself more relatable (you think I'm a liar but we all are!) but ridiculous at the same time - again making him 'likeable'. More electable?

This shows how easy it is for people's minds to be twisted into believing anything that is shown by the media.

What is the relationship between politics and TV?

Is this now important to have a good social media presence to become a politician?

The word real -

having an objective existence

actually existing as a thing or occurring in fact; not imagined or supposed

Counterfeit

Production

Reflecting on this seminar, it's making me think of my project. As im looking at sharks and how they have been portrayed in the media and how they have been given a bad name, I then want ot contrast with what it's really like for them.

How as a society are we going to begin to change this narrative for sharks? Have we gone to far in terms of making them seem evil when in reality they are a core part of the ecosystem and what keeps teh ocean alive. How do these politician change their personality so quickly, and why haven't we done it for sharks?

While attenting a premier pro extra workshop I got some advised for film making by one of the technicians. He gave me ideas for how to structure my film.

At this point, I have decided to start fresh and follow the structure he had advised me to follow.

# data[].attributes.body
At this point, my film wasn't ready to be shown to the class as I didn't feel the feedback would be helpful at this point of my project. But it was interesting and helpful to see what other people had been creating.

# data[].attributes.body
Playing with sharks was something I watched before starting the project and is what inspired me to focus my project on sharks. I felt the way that teh woman who this documentary is about - Valarie Taylor spoke of sharks so highly and it made me want to discover more. Something in the documentary that stuck out to me was the fact that she was part of teh making and filming of Jaws. As this film had created a massive backlash against sharks and gave them a bad reputation a lot of the people in this film have since spent their time advocating for sharks.

# data[].attributes.body
Seaspiracy was another documentary I watched to find out more about sharks and marine life that could be important to put into my film. After watching there were so many more things I wanted to put into my film but as it's a short film and I have to focus on time management I decided it would be important to hint at some of the disgusting things that people are doing to sharks within my film.

Overfishing, net pollution in the sea and shark finning for things like shark fin soup are all things that stood out to me in this film that I felt would be important things to touch on in mine.

I would like to do this by finding more imagery and videos so that I can show a glimpse of the harsh realities of my film.

# data[].attributes.body
While watching this film I was watching teh different editing techniques that we used throughout. I liked the layering of the imagery videos and sounds as I feel that this was very effective in conveying emotion. I also thought that the slight movement of teh still imagery was successful and it is something I would like to experiment with in my film. I thought teh pacing of the film was also good. It had some parts which were frantic and quick where a lot of information was being shown at once but there were also long scenes of them performing. this allowed the viewer to enjoy them playing as a band while still gaining knowledge about their history.

Draft 7 -

What I did -

For this draft, I was working on my timeline and taking advice for a technique on how I should do two negatives in a row as this would make it seem like I was saying it is a positive message. Ive also found a lot more footage of sharks being treated badly to contrast the promotion of the shark killing films.

My simple timeline -

Layered news reports

Sharks being peaceful

Footage of sharks being killed/mutilated

What went well -

I think that the film is improving adn becoming more enticing as I added more footage and sounds. I think that the sound works well with my found footage and I think that it achieves the emotion I want it to. I think the zoom-in works well and the news footage sequence works well.

What I could do better next time -

I would now like to try adn experiment more with editing techniques. I also want to find a way i could add in the film footage that i collected as I feel that this is an important part of the story im trying to tell.

# data[].attributes.body
What I did -

For this draft, I decided that I wanted to mix all the scenes and sounds that I used in draft 4 and mixed them all together.

What went well -

I think that this was a good way to create more inspiration. I dont think that the outcome was good but I think it was important experimentation so that I could move away from the similar work I had been doing. I think that having the news footage matches teh movie footage being shown works well visually.

What I could do better next time -

For the next draft, I want to focus on the beginning and the news reports. I want to go back to draft 4 and tighten up the idea I already had.

# data[].attributes.body
What I did -

For this draft, I revisited the idea I was working with in draft 4. I felt having the opening sequence be the new reports was a good idea but I need to change the layout and add in sound.

What went well -

I think my use of Zoom and the sizeings of teh news footage. I think I have created a successful opening sequence that will work well in introducing my film.

What I could do better next time -

Now I need to start thinking about the rest of the film and what I want to come after it. After showing this to a technical teacher he gave me some good advice on what to do for the next part.

He suggested I go straight to show the film footage as he felt it would give the wrong message of my film but rather go into teh reality of sharks whether that’s the cruelty they face or lovely footage of what sharks are really like.

# data[].attributes.body
What I did -

For this draft I collected a lot more footage of the new reporting the release of Jaws, The Meg adn The Shallows three of teh biggest shark films made. i layered them together with them cropped to different sizes. then it went into a montage of all teh different clips from the movies where sharks are being aggressive

What went well -

I think that this draft went well as I had just done a workshop in Premier Pro. I was able to use the app properly, and it shows. I like the idea of teh layering of new footage at the beginning, as it creates a distressed feeling from the beginning. im not sure how i feel about teh collection of film footage at the moment it feels boring i need to add in sounds or place it differently in teh sequence.

This experiment was inspired by

What I could do better next time -

I want to now start adding in the calm footage of sharks that I have collected to contrast how sharks are seen in film VS how they are in the wild. I need to think about sound. i would like to collect some water sounds to add to my calm shark footage - inspired by the sound workshop.

# data[].attributes.body
What I did -

After my first draft, I wanted to start experimenting with the composition and how I could lay out my second-hand footage.

What went well -

This way of laying out my work in a video isn’t very successful. I think it’s too much information at once, and I think that overall, it looks quite boring.

What I could do better next time -

Next time I would like to have the news report in the middle of teh screen with teh scenes from teh shark films playing in the background. I also need to collect more footage to make my film provoke more emotion and make sense of what im trying to achieve.

# data[].attributes.body
Draft 3 -

What I did -

for this draft, I used teh same footage i had used in my previous drafts, but I arranged them differently. I put the new report table about jaws in the middle, and I changed the background with a different shark movie footage.

What went well -

I think that something is enticing about this layout and I think that it works to a certain extent. I think the main problem I have with it is that the new report is talking about jaws but the footage behind is just jaws, I think it is confusing.

What I could do better next time -

Next time I need to collect more news footage. I think that as im showing different movies in my short film I need to have it introduced if one of the movies is. I would also like ot try layering. Similar to my 2nd draft where the audio overlapped each other I think that it creates a sense of distress which is an emotion I would like to provoke in my viewer.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to devise a plan for the different sections of teh film and what I want to happen within each section. I like what I'm trying to say to be clear without using too much text.

# data[].attributes.body
For my first time using Premier Pro, it was successful. I now have a better understanding of what I want the film to be about. The problem I ran into was how to transition between sharks in the film and what they are really like. After Premier Pro online intro it has inspired me i can make the film more exciting and fast-pace. One thing I liked was having multiple clips all going at once and being able to animate them to move around.

My idea would be to start the film with multiple news broadcast casts promoting the films with overlapping audio. Not sure if I want these to reflect the clips I show for example if I show jaws new reports then do I show Jaws clips or do I do all teh news reports and then all the film footage?

My film is set underwater, and it's about sharks. It would be interesting to add some sound effects from videos that use water effects. Ponyo is a Studio Ghibli film. This particular reference is a collection of the different aesthetically pleasing sounds in the film.

Although I won't use this audio for my film, I think it's a good starting point and has given me inspiration for what I want to try next. I would like to gather more sound bites that either are water or relate to water. I then want to try to layer them with clips and imagery of peaceful sharks, as I want this to contrast the sharks portrayed in the film.

Reflection -

I found this workshop interesting. It was fast-paced and allowed me to develop many ideas with limited thinking. It also allowed me to visualize what the video/publication could be about and the story it might follow.

I could pull back from 75 to 25 images to only use a few in teh collages.

I enjoyed cutting little parts of the images out to see how they worked together.

From this workshop, I decided I want my film to be based on the negative effect shark films have had on the world and then contrast this with what sharks are really like.
