Contemporary Media Issues- Location Based Narraitve

New assignment: tell a story through locations.......

o_O whaaaat???? Im struggling with this one a little, I did english at A-Level and love telling stories but this is very different from conventional storytelling.

My group and I thought that we would have a bit of fun with this piece as it was quite hard and none of us really get it, so we have the BEST story ever told through google maps (in my opinion)

We have created a gang who operate under A-Dog and his best buddies B-Dog and C-Dog, watch their amazing story unfold through the magical power of google maps.....

Contemporary Media Issues- Creating a Character

Chad.
Well my friend has let me follow him around and take pictures of him playing rugby with the team for the sporting aspect of my character and also posed for a few funny pictures with his friends.

Its quite fun playing around and trying to be someone else, but its very very very hard to stay in character sometimes!!!
Here are the links to his

• Facebook
• Twitter
• Tumblr

Hope you can see how I tried to make his Facebook, (where he interacts with all of his housemates) as macho as I can, his Twitter (that he uses less) slightly more experimental and his Tumblr as a way to open up and express his sexuality.

Creativity and Concept- Museum

Its all good at the moment, heres a prezi detailing our ideas: Film Enthusiasts Museum Exhibit
We hope to use it in our presentation about it soon :)
Just got to work out a script and may need to add a few more bits and bobs for the final piece, we shall see.

Contemporary Media Issues- Creating a Character

A few lessons ago we created 'Weavrs' to run around the internet blogging and tweeting about everything they find interesting according to the traits and preferences we gave them...
They didn't go swimmingly but now we have to create a person by ourselves, as in create a profile for this person and act out their character.... Bit strange but it should be fun....

Me and my friends are up for it anyway hahaaa.
So we have decided that I am to be "Chad Barker" the closet gay, all star jock. Wow.

Production Practice- Factual Film

A few lessons ago we were given a new assignment, to create a factual film. Your choice of subject, location etc.

Our group all came together to present our treatments, mine was about the LJMU Snowriders and what its like to be part of a race team and what being a snow rider is all about (Partying mainly) 

But we decided to take Stevie's idea and adapt it, she wanted to do a piece on the museum but instead of doing a piece of the museum itself we thought we would do something on one of the exhibits, the 'doors' exhibit to be specific, somehow she got access to the opening of the doors exhibit and she and another of our group took the cameras and interviewed and filmed all night! Lucky girls! 

They got some great material, we just need to get some more and put our stuff together, fingers crossed everything goes to plan.

Creativity and Concept- Museum

Got the Idea down now. We have come up with a one room idea to combine 3 different aspects of Film.
WATCH
LISTEN
DO.

We plan to project four different films onto the four walls of the room all playing simultaneously (watch), you will also be able to stand on the sensory pads in front of the screen and experience the film up close with wind, and aromas and suck like allowing you to really experience it in addition to the headphones playing the sounds from whichever film you chose to listen to (listen) and we will also have a studio setup in the centre of the room where you can film your own scenarios and experience filming first hand (do)

This way we hope to engage all kinds of film enthusiasts, those interested in the history and different types of films will enjoy those projected on the walls, those who want to become involved in filming will love the set and those looking forward to the future of films should get a real kick out of the futuristic sensory pads!!!
