Timed Shortfilm Brief :Production

Session Review

Ok continuing from yesterdays session I am watching some intriguing short films to gain more inspiration by observing the camera shots and techniques used to further develop the simple storyboard scenes that I envisioned and drew in Microsoft paint, 

So far  the simple concept given to us by the lecturer of a person feeling the presence of something and then waking up tied up in a dark room is evolving well,

Timed Shortfilm Brief :Planning

Sunday 22nd February 2015

Session Review

Continuing from Monday's session I am continuing to undertake secondary research and gain additional inspiration from silent films since the brief state our short film did not feature any audio. I opened up the program Microsoft paint and simply drew rough frames of scenes that could be created on the day of filming.

IKEA Advertisement Final Session

Monday 16th February 2015

Session Review

Continuing from the yesterdays afternoon session, I did not use the scenes featuring the stickman animation. Instead, I used the frames featuring the typography spelling the words IKEA and "Make Things Simple". I also used the opening beat of Glass Candy - Glass Castle which I used firstly because during my secondary research of watching IKEA's advertisements I noticed how the company prefers to not use music from the seventies and eighties. The second reason being is I enjoy the music of Glass Candy and originally thought to use the beats in their music or the Eurythmics for my advertisement.

IKEA Advertisement Session 6

Session Review

Previously on Monday's class session, I discovered I had become confused about the deadline for the IKEA project and assumed the deadline was on the thirteenth of March 2015 when in fact it was on Monday. So I had decided to put aside the wooden block idea because the idea itself was not completely thought out mostly during the end scenes on how I would form the word IKEA out of wooden blocks. Since I originally assumed we would have to make an eight-second hand-rendered advert on what IKEA stands for and then display the company logo; however, fellow colleges simply spelt the word IKEA in a various different hand rendered methods.

Nevertheless, I decided to return to my first concept of using a chalkboard animation of a stick man creating a chair from the box he ordered and then forming the words IKEA. My mobile phone screen was also damaged so filming this was difficult so I had to borrow my mother’s phone and at times ask her to capture some of the frames in the stop motion animation. for scenes of revealing the board and my hand and then rubbing the animation out.

Overall it was very tedious like most hand-drawn or stop motion animations I aver created but the final result was satisfying; nevertheless, I will have to arrive at the campus on Monday early to it the scenes in premier, and get it ready for the showing in class.

IKEA Advertisement Session 4

Monday 2nd March 2o15

Session Review

Earlier this morning at eleven o'clock I witnessed an advertisement on YouTube by gum tree and it lasted for only five seconds but was brief and displayed how to sell your items on their site in a very simplistic way.

This is good reference material for my IKEA eight-second advert which also must briefly express what IKEA stands for overall and what you would normally do after purchase.
