childrens drama - characters , problems occured , storyline



what we tried to create!! - storyline !!
Is bacially about a group of pirates who are looking for treasure and they hear like these sobbing noises of someone crying for help . Then there very anxious of what is coming from the woods. They go into the woods and find a boy who is sobbing . Then they find out why he is crying because Kenni (Adam) who was very mean to his friends . So the pirates strike a deal if he helps them out the pirates they will help them  him out .So pirates ask Kenni to be a nicer a person and to be nice to his friends. Then Shannon (Shipmate) gives the device to Kenni to let him to change back the past and undo the things he wish he never done . So bascially the pirates are helping kids to become a better person to others so friends and how being mean to someone doesn't get you anywhere in life. So being nice is the best way forward . So it lets kids know whats the right thing to do instead of doing the wrong thing which can upset people .

The Chracters !!- who did what !!
We had Adam as Kenni as the lost boy who is a bit sarcastic and bit cocky ...That suited him well for that character ha ha . Kieran was the Captian so he was the main character as he was in charge , can be quite strict as he is the Captian of course .You have Claudia and Shannon , Claudia was Joe who was quite keen and loves animals and Shannon was Shipmate the proffessional pirate who likes to earn rewards and can be quite mean if you push his buttons . The director was me and Georgie was like assitant to help with set / props, getting characters ready . The camera work was me , we all took part in the editing so we all had an input to that .



Problems occured!!  Well when the childrens drama was due in problems did happen with the computer we were using.  The E drive it wouldn't let us insert our footage for a strange reason but then I sorted it out . Then it was taking forever to copy into the E drive probably because we had alot of footage it was copying then it was saying 35mins left ...Then we thought nearly done but then it said 80mins left to go so that was really confussing how it went down and then went back up weird !!! .. So this took 2 hours but it still hasn't copied into the E drive so we just all sat there waiting for it to hurry up but it didn't look like it was it was doing anything, it  was taking forever for some reason. So that wasted about 2 hours, we could of gotten it all nearly done- edited for a rough cut but we didn't because it was taking forever for it to copy .... So we just went home in the end after doing nothing really stupid computer arrgh !!  The audio levels because in some parts it was quite quiet and you couldn't hear what they were saying . We wern't very organised with our clips as on the E drive the files were everywhere , it was so confusing to find out which file was ares what we were using. I did say to put in the folder but noone really listen do they . So that was a night mare trying to find out what clips we wanted to use and some of the footage wasn't there . When I was filming I did get claudia out of shot a bit she was so close tothe ege , and also with having the three of the pirates in shot I did cut of Shannon and Kirean a bit . I didn't mean to but I was trying to un tighting the handle as it was stiff , so that was probably why it looked bad ha ha .

The day to get it done well due in !!
On friday 9th December problems occured with editing, the computer kept freezing , premire pro kept coming up with not responding. But with some of the footage we had it was edited but it was missing parts out so it may of been confusing of what the storyline is ... So Georgie came up with an idea of just putting in a story of telling it without the footage as were mssing bits of it so it gives you that idea of whats happening . But then Georgie thought of getting a video clip of youtube a pirates ship to put at the start with an open sequence of the story. So we were all looking for a pirates ship for most of the lesson but we couln't find one that was suitable ... But in the end we did that took some time then we converted it to a video clip but then it was in a audio clip not a video clip. So then we had to download it again but then it wouldn't insert into premire pro for some reason .... Then it reached to the end of the lesson we were no where done .... So in the end we didn't use the youtube clip or intertitles in the end we just left it as were running out of time. I thought to stay behind to get everything  done , the others had work , and drama thing to go to... So I stayed behind . Then this turns out as a disaster...I was editing on premire pro ,then the computer kept crashing and not responding again ..... so that took some time for that to sort it's way out .... Then I wanted to import back in the file again , then it wouldn't come up for some strange reason , then I renamed the file but it wouldn't open in premire pro so I was getting really annoyed . On the computer there are so many files of ours it's so confusing to find out which one is ours because we've refilmed so many times its all there all the old footage on screen with all muddled up . But I've told to put it into a folder but noone listens to me so yea . The file kept saying can't open or something then I was like what so I renamed it again it opened then it would say failure .... This was taking forever to do to open it up bout 3 hours to do .... So i've just been trying to fix the computer during those hours because it kept crashing so files were lost , it wasn't responding then it would'nt insert so I don't know .... Then in the end it worked after 3hours so that really annoyed me. I hate computers prefer laptops so much easier to use and don't crash as much as the pcs . Then I was sorting the files out as there all muddled up , then I couldn't find the footage that I wanted .... Well I'm not surprised really as the files were everywhere not in a folder ..... So I  found some of the footage but It's not what I wanted for the shot after. We're nowhere near finished so I was just annoyed if I had one of my group member there It probably would of been done but they had to go to work and stuff .... I was just so tired after , and really stressed out..... I didn't even get anywhere so that was pointless staying behind really .

Camera angles used !!

The camera angles they use is variety of shots in Binky vs Binkey they use shots like long angle shot so this gives you a full angle of what is in the background of the environment so giving detail whats in the surrounding area they are in . You get shots like close ups so you can see their facial expression which can show their emotions if there upset or if there feeling excited about something when Binky wants to enter the the competition we see a energetic person here that wants to do cycling as career wise. You also get an overshoulder view of binky talking to his friend. This shot is very common when we see someone  having a conversation with another person. You get a use of close ups to show the detail of the food that Buster enjoys then it zooms out quite sharply to behind shot . You get mid shot of Binky talking without having his feet or legs shown , it just focous on the dialoguge in that scene and have more into the impact of the action going on in that sequence and there main focus is onto Binky talking to get the best part of the dialouge that is taking place as well as the action.They used low angle view of capturing the person, this gives height to person with giving in speed in the motion of the action.

 You get the use of a Birds Eye View shot of Binky riding into the dirt yard so this shot makes it smaller but into a wider shot as your looking down onto the subject.This shot can be used to give a good establishing shot with more depth into the scene.You get a shot of close up of the bikes going by so you get the fast motion coming of the wheels. You have the use of long shots as well of him at the end of the race of him winning the race which Binky seems to be pleased that he had made it to the end with a little bit of doubt in his head but he kept going and didn't give up. Also you had some transitions in there to with the use of side away in a diagonal transition and floating type transitions to make it fun and to turn into the next chapter of the next clip.

How ever with Tracy Beaker programe of the new girl: you get shots of the same shot angles but a different variety of shots .The  use of angles as well with the use of close ups showing feelings emotions , so their facial emontions of Tracy Beaker  and Justine. You have a long shot of the three girls in the bathroom so this shows you the eviroment there in by realting to their props they are using so them cleaning their teeth. So it gives you just of the location there in. You have this low angle of the new girl who has been admitted to the home because her mom was in a terrible accident.The low angle shot consists of  the new girl from looking up showing that she is scared and fragile after hearing news about her mum. For Tracy Beaker you have a more higher angle of Tracy that she is in power creating different height angles with the camera moving to a low angle of new girl. You have mid shots to capture the detail in their facial expression as well which then in the background concentrating more on the upper half of the body with the camera focusing more on her then any other part so lower body. Gives more impact into the action as well with these use of camera shot of the new girl in her room and the blonde girl. So the main focus will be that one shot of the close up frame within that scene. You get long shots as well to capture the background so the enviroment there in which relates to what there talking about with the use of actions put into it .

You have alot of use of mid shots in this programe of where Tracey and Justine are arguing about the littles things, you get view of the shot with the background and it shows the detail of whats happening with rage in their face which captures face emotions so you can see how that reflecting with the two characters and Tracy and Justine . You have long shots as well showing you the eviroment with showing more of the action of Tracy and Justine arguing again . It bascially lets you see everything from a wide angle perspective . Good use of shot to capture movements and the detail within the human figure of the girls of the surrounded area. You have a shot which pans over so from the bed nicely moving to Jenny who comes into the room that works nicely .The panning shot is good to follow someone giving a nice flow where the camera moves from the bed to door then Jenny makes her entrance you have the interior of the bedroom with the light colors reflecting with each other. You have another shot so a low angle of  the girl who is  running down the steps you get a shot of her feet so this shows like the fast pace of her feet running down the steps.

You have a shot of Tracy Beaker which the camera slowly moving in then it flashes over to Sam ( the new girl) who is talking about her mum how she misses her. Then you have a shot of Tracey Beaker which is mid shot so more focused on the upper body and dialogue that is being said so Tracey telling  Sam how she misses her mom as well and that her mum is a popstar and how everything will be okeay . This shows a good comforting shot that Tracy listens to Sam and you can see they have a great connection with each other with sharing problems which you just need to talk to a friend when your down which shows that. As Sam leaves , You have a high shot of Tracy from the window who feels really down that she just made a new friend and now she has to leave as her mum is feeling alot better.  This angle gives a high angle of the interior of the building as it gazes up. Then you have shot from behind as Tracy looking down from the outside, then you have mid shot of Sam coming into the bedroom to say her goodbyes which is nice as they became good friends and  it shows there emotions as well of how there feeling at this point . You have a mid shot of them saying there goodbyes to one another then close ups of them two having their picture taken then of the flash of a camera which is good it shows the fun factor good old times of rembering the best parts of child hood.

The 3rd attempt of re filming again - Another new Production Diary !!

On the 27th of November due to the footage they had done so far like I said before about the shots it was just the same shot through which is quit boring. So Steve suggested for us to film again because the footage they had wouldn't get us a good grade. So it was right to film again even though it's down to last minute arrgh . The rest of the group was bit annoyed that we had to film again because we've filmed about three times already. But it's best to re film because it be good to get a merit then a pass . I was alright with it , it did make sense to film , to use more different variety shots =) because it's boring keeping to the same shot which they had was  just mid shots thats rubbish . Then we had to decide when we were going to film we were going to film on tuesday but people had work that day so fair enough and they couldn't do wednesday so we decided to come in on thursday in the morning before lesson as we werent due in till 1 .

So then problems occured today on the 1st december arrgh !!
I came in at half ten due to that I had the dentist in the morning . Then I phoned Georgie as I got to college she was saying that we wernt filming till eleven. but I thought everyone was at college as we arranged to film at nine but then problems occured because of that . Then me and Claudia got the equipment because we thought we were filming at eleven. But then Georgie said that Shannon couldn't do the morning as she had work that morning but Georgie txt her saying can't she take the other hours of but she didn't get in contact with Georgie.Now she didn't finish till 12 .We had Kirean in it but he wasn't awnsering back to Georgies txts so he wasn't in anyway but she did txt them both th night before and the smorning but they didn't txt her back. We were meant to have Adam in it but he had his prezi to do so that was messed up but we couldn't do it without the other two. So we were all there me , Claudia and Georgie and everything was messed up because we couldn't film because we needed those guys in it. It was annoying too because we got there early and we just didn't do anything really sat in the cafe and that ... But we could of been filming if we had all our crew but we didn't so annoying arrgh=/. But we arranged it for the smorning of today so I don't know how everyone forgot about it really thats weird . So then I felt stupid getting the equipment then handing in back in but we couldn't film so arrgh =/ .

But now we have arranged to film tomorow 2nd of december arrgh=/ it's all down to last day now . I hate leaving everything to the last minute because it get's all rushed. We could of had this done all ages ago by now but that didn't happend did it .... the rough cut of the footge of editing got be done ...i'm just a bit worried now because the deadline for that tomorow and weve got to film edit , audio , music and everything to do ... So weve got just crack on with it and get this rough cut done... I'm sure we can if we just work together and film it and then crack on with editing afterwards then it be fine ... So were filming tomoz 2nd of december !!

The filming day 2nd of december !!

We did finally film, but we had alot of waiting around for a bit because there was alot of one on ones with our group and actor Adam (talking to ),so we had to wait till they had finished so we could all film as we needed them in our shoot. Then after a while past ..... We were already to go out and film. We filmed in Fareham College on the feild part in the woods. We used this because it was easy to go and film in College where everyones there and we can just get it done as it was due in that day of filming  so it was easier to film here . That day of filming I was director , ha ha that was a big role to be part of ha ha . On set (woods) I setted up the equipment all ready to go .... the rest of the cast was having their own conversations, then they all went to a stage of talking about pets and getting their phones out to show what pets they had...weird on shoot !!! So me as the director I had to shout well I did it in a nice way ha ha , because I'm not mean ha ha but they wouldn't listen then I shouted again at them in a nice form of way. Then they did listen the second time round so told them what shot I was doing and for them to get in to position and to remind them what there doing and saying and that lot .

Shooting Part !!
God it was so impossible to film Kieran as an actor, ha ha , he was funny on set , but I was the director I neeed them to focous, he was messing about a bit and laughing so I had to tell them to get into focus and let it all out to Kieran because he was laughing so much god knows why. Then we did a practise shoot and then It was ha ha . I was like right come on guys lets do it focus and that lot and telling them what I wanted from them as I wanted them to be pirates, act like them . I always did a coutdown to get them ready , I would do that then Kieran would be talking to the rest of the cast it was like what are you doing your on set act like ... so that took some time I was getting quite annoyed a bit and then I got bit strict the rest of the actors were like chill but I was taking it seriously, they were talking , having their own convosations while I was ready to shoot as messing about and stuff well . Then Adam was playing music when filming on set so I was like if you want to do that go of set. When I was about to film again I was like Adam trying to shoot here because didn't what that in that in the background then he did evetually stop when I shouted ha ha. Don't you just love it when you see their faces change like oh ha ha. Well when your the director you got to take charge and you got take it seriously as youre shooting , actors wasting time money being lost  !!

Camera shots !!The second half of our film!!
When shooting the camera shots I used at the start was behind shot of a long shot of them going into the woods very anxious of the noises in the trees . This shot shows the focus of the characters and the detail in the enviroment their in with a full wide length of the background and characters . Then their was another long shot of them as you see them in front of walking into the woods and you can see their facial emotions as they hear something in the woods sobbing noises . The next shot after that was a close up of Adam sobbing against the tree, then you have a shot panning away from him to the the 3 pirates. Next you have a shot a close up of Kieran making a comment to the lost boy . Then you have a mid shot of Adam in a scarcastic voice saying "Oh what's this then fancy dress?". Then you have a shot of all 3 of the pirates a close up of there confussed faces this part they just kept laughing , it was like come on guys focus they were getting distracted by Adam being stupid ha ha. I shooted then it was like come on again.. Claudia had a good confussed face then the other two were just laughing in it so but creates humor for kids I guezz . Close up are good as it shows the emotions and facial expressions of what the character is creating.Then we had an over shoulder shot of Adam talking to Kieran , then another overshoulder shot of Kieran talking to Adam . Then we had a side shot of a mid shot of Keiran as he draws his sword to him . Then we had a shot of all the pirates over shoulder view of  Kieran talking to Adam. Then I did a Close up of Adam showing his emotions that he's really sorry of talking to the Captian in that way . Then we had a shot of 3 pirates with the shot of panning from the pirates to Shannon saying that he should be nice and she tells him what to do with the travels device this was a mid shot of them two .He drops it on the ground, then you have a behind shot long shot of the pirates talking walking back through the woods to get back onto the beach .Then that was pretty much it . But that did take a while to do !! E drive but it wouldn't let us for a strange reason but then I sorted it out . Then it was taking forever to copy into the e drive probably because we had alot of footage it was copying then it was saying 35mins left ...Then we thought nearly done but then it said 80mins left to go so that was really confussing how it went down and then went back up weird !!! .. So this took 2 hours but it still hasn't copied into the e drive so we just all sat there waiting for it to hurry up but it didn't look like it was it was doing anything, it  was taking forever for some reason. So that wasted about 2 hours, we could of gotten it all nearly done- edited for a rough cut but we didn't because it was taking forever for it to copy .... So we just went home in the end after doing nothing really stupid computer arrgh !!  So were gonna do it monday hopefully it will work for us to finish of the rough cut !!

The Chracters !!
We had Adam as Kenni as the lost boy who is a bit sarcastic and bit cocky ...That suited him well for that character ha ha . Kieran was the Captian so he was the main character as he was in charge , can be quite strict as he is the Captian of course .You have Claudia and Shannon , Claudia was Joe who was quite keen and loves animals and Shannon was Shipmate the proffessional pirate who likes to earn reward and can be quite mean if you push his buttons . The director was me and Georgie was like assitant to help with set / props, getting characters ready .

Editing !!


The editing we are keeping to our footage at Netley Beach because we need that for the first scene because there not a beach at Fareham so we had to keep that bit ... The footage after that we had to delete because it was the same use of shots , it does look better with a different variety of shots it makes it more interesting then just the same shot throughout . So thats why we had to re film to get some more different shots .The rest of editing got to be done 9th December for the final rough cut we've done the first part of edit but we just need to  crack on with the second part to edit as it took a long time to sort these parts out as it was all muddled up so that took some time and then the renaming part thats so annoying. So were going to get on with editing today 8th December the day before final cut this afternoon. Me and Shannon will be cracking on with that to edit second part with adding some trandsitions and cutaways to add to it . The transitions that be good for a childrens drama will be like dissolve and side away transitions because thats what you would expect to find in childrens drama .

Title!!
At the start of our sequence we have used a title , we used one of the fonts from 1001 fonts we got rid of the yellow background by using photoshop so the magic wand by selecting the letters and deselecting it by getting rid of the yellow background .  Then we inserted it into the background in adobe premire , but it was coming up with a white background on the shot of the lightning affect, thats where we put it on that as it was our open sequence.Then we had to use the luminty key to get rid of the white background by turning the numbers down a bit then highing it up.The title we used was like a piratey look...The title for our childrens drama is Pirates lost in time. We have chosen this because the pirates enter this world where they have never been before and they get lost as it's a new world to them...

So far of editing but on monday we have to add in the bits from the woods that we filmed on Friday after the last bit of this to our final rough cut . With this shot we had a voice over of Shannon talking about steps as it said on the script. Which brings in sense humor bit funny for the children watching this.The First shot I thought was really good of Kirean , Claudia , Shannon where they have used a ligtning affect with the electric shock sound from free sound which we dowloaded to create the affect of them struggling reading  the map with the the flashing striking affects of them moving that was good with this affect they used . This shot was also quite blurred as it dipped to black.I like the second shot of them on the beach as it was long shot of the beach in the background, it gives that nice scale shot of the background and them in shot , you can also hear the sound of the waves too.  Kieran was funny in the background with his moves ha ha .They had mid shot of them arriving on the beach dancing in a form of way which was funny with having the map of trying to find the treasure. Kirean who starred in was a good actor I thought . Then you have mid shot of  the captian talking "the only thing thats going to help me go on around here is helping me find by treasure. I used a Dip to white transition here, I thought it looked alright."Then you have another mid shot of Claudia talking to the Captian. Then you had a  mid shot of them hearing something in the woods they heard a sobbing noises from the woods as you have a paning shot .Then you have a close up of the pirates going into the woods, another mid shot of the pirates talking together .

The day to get it done well due in !!
On friday 9th December problems occured with editing, the computer kept freezing , premire pro kept coming up with not responding. But with some of the footage we had it was edited but it was missing parts out so it may of been confusing of what the storyline is ... So Georgie came up with an idea of just putting in a story of telling it without the footage as were mssing bits of it so it gives you that idea of whats happening . But then Georgie thought of getting a video clip of youtube a pirates ship to put at the start with an open sequence of the story. So we were all looking for a pirates ship for most of the lesson but we couln't find one that was suitable ... But in the end we did that took some time then we converted it to a video clip but then it was in a audio clip not a video clip. So then we had to download it again but then it wouldn't insert into premire pro for some reason .... Then it reached to the end of the lesson we were no where done .... So I thought to stay behind to get everything  done , the others had work , and drama thing to go to... So I stayed behind . Then this turns out as a disaster....
I was editing on premire pro ,then the computer kept crashing and not responding again ..... so that took some time for that to sort its way out .... Then I wanted to import back in the file again , then it wouldn't come up for some strange reason , then I renamed the file but it wouldn't open in premire pro so I was getting really annoyed . On the computer there are so many files of ours it's so confusing to find out which one is ours because we've refilmed so many times its all there all the old footage on screen with all muddled up . But I've told to put it into a folder but noone listens to me so yea . The file kept saying can't open or something then I was like What so I renamed it again it opened then it would say failure .... This was taking forever to do to open it up bout 3 hours to do .... So i've just been trying to fix the computer during those hours because it kept crashing so files were lost , it wasn't responding then it would'nt insert so I don't know .... Then in the end it worked after 3hours so that really annoyed me. I hate computers prefer laptops so much easier to use and don't crash as much as the pcs . Then I was sorting the files out as there all muddled up , then I couldn't find the footage that I wanted .... Well I'm not surprised really as the files were everywhere not in a folder ..... So I  found some of the footage but It's not what I wanted for the shot after. We're nowhere near finished so I was just annoyed if I had one of my group member there It probably would of been done but they had to go to work and stuff .... I was just so tired after , and really stressed out..... I didn't even get anywhere so that was pointless staying behind really .
    

Script!!Claudia and Georgie did the script , but  when shooting I notied that they didn't say what it said on the script well it was similar but they took chucks out of it ... I think this is because they just wanted to make it sweet and quick to get it out of the way. Fair enough I see why because we had to re do some filming and yea it was cold that day bloody freezing when shooting . But in a childrens drama if it said what the had to do written on paper they would have to but I think they couldn't be bothered to act and say out all the parts so yea... At least it is done now all the filming so we don't have to worry about it now thank god till another day . It was still to do with pirates and helping a young boy out and to make him learn from wrong to make him to be better person and to be nice which relates to kids in a big way... How being nasty to someone isn't nice but being a nice person gets you somewhere in life. So by helping the pirates out and him the young boy helping them out, they all worked  together he gets to go back in time to change the past of what hes done to become a nicer person .

The research I have looked into is how they actually made the characters and their costume of a living unknown creature, how they created the world of Pandora , how they made the creatures , how long it took for them to do and my own opinion about the movie .

 What they did was : they made the skin which they mixed to create the affects of the skin which was a piece of rubber which they use to age the skin to turn it into this specie with the additional features so the eyes, mouth , ears. The  Nazi avatar is twice as big as a normal human being , they eyes of Nazi is twice as big too and is spaced further apart from each other . The Nazi have longer necks , different shape ears , they have different bones and structures so for e.g their 3 handed hands . They also wear these bodysuits with all the wires attached to them . But they have a camera on top which captures their emotions , movemments ,facial expressions which is computer generated into the system and you can actually see how it will actually look in the movie by looking on the lcd screen to see what it will look like .

How they did this ?
The CGI characters where this body suit , they use the rubber which is their skin so translucent skin which behaves in the same way as a normal human being skin , they put blue make up on them with like the dots and spots and etc with White face paint . The emotions they showned were all caught on camera which they had attached to them with their body suit they were wearing . The emotions they showed would capture it onto their camera which they would show the computer of their animation specie of them as avatar of their facial emotion expression.

How long did it take for them to make avatar ?

It took them 12 years for them to make avatar , due to getting the right equipment to fetch up James Camerons creation and ideas because he wanted to make avatar into a 3d animation movie but they didn't have the right equipment to do so . But now they have the high definition cameras which can capture the scenes in 3d . But as you can see it was well worth the wait . High definition cameras to film in 3d animation movie now .


How did they create the Pandora ??
They created the Pandora by getting material and sawing it down , by creating the space of the army base of their area . They did use the green screen for parts of it to create the Pandora set so for eg they would use like props so like the helicopter of it flying with the use of the green screen . For these scenes they needed use a virtual camera which captures these scenes The best purpose of using this type of camera it to get the best part of the action with the use of different height angles .

They had to have training done to fly the helicopter,  some of them didn't know how to fly it ,the use of weapons they needed training involve because they didn't know how to use them, one of the team had to show them how to use them properly.

 They used special effects to create the bombing and the fire with the big explosives to make it seem so real . They also created the set with all the trees for like the forest set area .For the creatures they used these wire modle of creating it into a creature . The director uses this to create the creature actually flying with moving it around on set . The system will recognize it IN the computer system . Then it's all computer generated in to the system you can actually see what it will look like on the lcd screen. They did use the actors to create the movement of how the creature will move in the movie . The actors would have to do all the flip backs in the right timing to get it right.  It did take time to do all this with allot of training and creating the idea how they were going to proceed to do this . They also used a manual operating gimble which the actors can balance on to get the right balance and the movements of the creature flying just like in the moving with the CGI actors on the top .

What I liked about avatar is that is was really good , how they created the characters so avatars is really cool how they made them twice as big into this avatar well (9 foot tall) .  The make up is so cool ,  the blue make up . Jake is a normal person which goes into this world with becoming a Nazi avatar. The Pandora is really good how they created it with the use of green screen and having all the props , set props and making the base of army. It's so good how they made it into animation of it and how they created these characters in the computer and generated them as real avatar in the world of Pandora .  How they created the creatures in avatar as well as the actors like actually flying in the world of Pandora was extremely good, then which is generated into the computer which picks up their emotions is really good as you can see see their facial epressions and emotins on screen , you can see what it will actually look like which is really good . No wonder why it took 12 years to fil but it was worth waiting for with the 3d cameras which are so cool . Making into an animation and hows it's all computer generated it's so cool how they do it . James Camerons creation was good I liked the ideas that he brought to our screens it was a very creative idea of what he came up with .

I did like the story line of Jake taking over his brothers footsteps of taking the mission of Pandora after his brother been killed . Then Jake turning into this Nazi avatar really tall compared to a human which was brill and their tails are pretty cool . Then Jake enters the world of Pandora , of this whole new experience of living the Nazi life . Jake falls in love with another Nazi avatar called  Neytiri they get an army together to save their world as Conal Quarich makes his move in bombing and destroying the world of Pandora the epic battle takes amends which Jake and Neytiri try and save it which they do in the end but the world of Pandora is still ruined by the army taking forceful action . This shows a good epic battle of how Jake overcomes how he is going to save the world of Pandora , he falls in love which is always good and he saves Pandora . The special effects were really cool how they made it so real just like in an action pack movie with the bombing , distruption , battling was really goo for this type of film .

Why is it so popular ??
. Of it's visual technique
. The wild life ,
. The landscape ,
. The colours ,
The creatures ,
. Mind blowing
. Characters are good and bad compelling  which makes it good for an action pack animation movie .
. Its good that it's a love story .
Plus its a war story as well with all the disasters happening .
People think it's a good story line that James Cameron came up with .
. Good soundtrack of James Horner .
. James Cameron won award at the Hollywood awards -  golden globe award for the best dramatic picture and best director .

Statistics data of online resources realting to internet saftey. Also a police from the CEOP Peter Davies of how they protect young children from dangerous sources or even people who can be harmful to young children and giving their view of how they protect their community environment with facts on CEOP police with figures that they can relate too. The documentary will give  Give you advice on anti bullying and overcoming any problems or if know you know of anyone that is being bullied online . Showing peoples own views of what they think of the internet as whole .


Contents!!

Will include a voice over of me what my documentary is about then introducing Pete Davies. After him  I will talk about his main role of a CEOP. I will show visual facts of how young children are protected in the safe guard in the result of  a CEOP. It will show how the result of how many arrest they have made in 2011-2012. It will also show results of how high the CEOP are trained with all the potential they put into their job,how they get people off the streets and how they protect the environment.  I will have key facts of people well teenagers that do use social networking sites, some use it for talking to friends but some people use it for another reason dating sites which can be used in the wrong form. Also with facts from children experiencing some form of bullying whether that is violence, or physical form of bullying with extreme with showing facts of the statement. Also form  of people hacking into people’s accounts and how to overcome these situations as people don't know how to resolve these problems so it be good for them to know. Content will include primary research that I did overtake by myself with my own research of finding out of what people think of how it is important to keep safe online just general questions related to internet safety and having their own opinion shared that can be different to other people, this will be sign of  a visual with diagrams .



Into -Structure!!


First structure of my documentary will be: having an opening sequence of my title Internet safety with images of that relating to keeping safe online in a four way grid with the title in the middle; so I will have the main writing in bold so it’s like the main focus of the documentary. At the start I will have a voice over of me introducing what my documentary is about and introducing my interviewee.  I will use my research background information of Pete Davies (CEOP) if I did  an interview  with him in person it would be a straight eyed view of him with the camera with cutaways. Cutaways are always good to explore a person's life in what he does that be good to show that. I would have his name at the bottom of the screen, then I’d ask him a few questions on of What is a CEOP what do they do to help the environment and how they keep young children safe, how he became a police CEOP of what that actually  involves, a bit of background on him and what his responsibilities are within the job.


 I will show the statistics of the job role of a CEOP with the job on how it protects young children in the safe guard of their responsibility of keeping young children safe within the environment. The number of arrest that have been made within the safeguard locking up people , so who have been caught or who have been wreck less with their lives also showing the statistics data with a blank page have a title of what is safeguarding because some people don’t know what it is and what’s it about? It be good for people to know what it is, with the facts coming up after with facts of bullying with percentage of adults and young people being fully physical abuse or has been in a extreme count of bullying in difficult circumstances.  I will use the  research background information about the CBBC about keeping safe info this can be headed with a title in bold capital letters across the middle of the page with the five rules but individual come up on screen with bold writing, but with pictures of each statement so it’s clear and very understanding of what not to do!


The next scene can be with my own primary research of other peoples opinion on how they keep safe online whether they think it is important to keep safe online or not, if they protect themselves online when it comes to social networking or online shopping and using statistics data; the data can be put in a graph of other peoples opinion about this and then it can pop up on screen with a slide affect with all the figures coming up just like it's being projected on a screen or note board type of way. The information on hackers  I will use on how to overcome someone getting into your account with key points in bold. this will be coming up on the screen where it is transitioned with the slides down with  a white background.


Then for the next scene we can have a Facebook site up with an interaction of  how to protect yourself and put your settings on friends not public, with it showing you how to do this and then blur it in the background.  I think this be good because some people may not know how to do this so it shows you a visual look on how to do this.Then the key points of why it is so important to keep protected online, and how to report something if you are being bullied; this will have a image of how to do it and this can be done with a slide away transition. I will have it so it is bullet pointed of the good points for people to keep protected and how to report stuff on these types of circumstances. Having these key facts of the social networking sites of people who don't know who they are really talking to, I think it will be quite interesting for people to see the figures of these personal information giving to someone they don't know ;It may make them think twice of doing so when watching this documentary .If  I was interviewing these people I will have a close up of the people talking about their own views of the internet. Close ups are good for getting the real feel in peoples expression to capture the facial emotions. Thanks for watching that comes in from the back with a smiley face zoomed in.

Conclusion

In conclusion I think overall of the information I have researched into is pretty big with a lot of research, with primary and secondary research into the subject Internet Safety.  I think this will sustain a documentary, as it has the key facts on Internet safety, statistics , background info on a man working as a CEOP police, info on Internet how to stay safe online, with using qualitative research with peoples opinion on how they feel about keeping safe be good to hear and how to keep protected online. I will add transitions to the documentary to give it that fun factor to it. Overall I think the information will come across to people with the use of key information, diagrams, statistics data that will help people today with keeping safe online today. Hopefully it will help people think twice about talking to people  who they don't know and to be careful in what they say especially on your profile.  It will help people what to do if there in a difficult situation or if there being bullied it will give the information how to do something about giving advice, support for people out there and how to be protected and how to stay safe online .

Synopsis

The narrative side:


       During the day- sunny mid day - Justin - Is a very bad tempted lad, and he can be very violent when he doesn't get what he wants. He messages this girl so Jade who he takes a shine to. They have been talking for about 3 weeks now but still they don't know each other that well. One day Justin asks Jade if she wants to meet up. Jade's a bit unsure about this is he really who he say he is; So Jade asks her Uncle Robert to check it out, but Jade's uncle was like no you shouldn't meet up with him as he could be lying about who is and I don't want you to get hurt. But Jade was determined to meet up with him and no one else could stop her.

 Jade was getting ready to meet him all dulled up, then they met up in a local park in London there was hardly any people there. Uncle Robert was just round the corner making him disguised away in the bushes just for back up. Jade was feeling really nervous and you can see it in her face, she was shaking like a leaf.  Then that moment occurred someone was walking up to the park he looked young , he was wearing a hoodie , tracki bottoms and he had dark hair, that was the moment Jade knew it was him . He didn't lie about who he was he was actually who he said he was really nice , funny , caring and he brought her presents he was so lovely!! .

But then 2 weeks later it all changed - He was talking to Jade differently on facebook he seemed a bit of with Jade. He wanted her to come round, she did she was wearing a mini skirt, low top, loads of makeup.Ding dong on the door!! - There he was standing there . he took Jade's coat, he said to Jade to go in the other room which was his bedroom. He said he wouldn’t be long, 10 mins later he was there in the door way he came inside the room. He locked the door, this is when Jade knew what was going to happen next.

At night – Justine’s  flat  - The next bit of the scene is where he is very forceful towards her, pushing her down on the bed asking her to take off her clothes, shouting at her but Jade was like "No let me go please” He's very violent towards her now this is now reflecting on him now who he really is. She is screaming help! help!! Now he forces her to take her clothes off now ,he’s being very abusive to her now and calling her nasty names. You can see how she’s upset she is and she is crying with full of tears for him to let her go. But he didn’t stop!! He wouldn’t let go  Jade couldn't get out what could she do her life was over!!

The next part Justin goes to the bathroom he’s left the key on the unit,she had to get out of there before the worst could happen; she makes a run for it out the front door and she legs it home crying with tears running down her face. She can't believe what just happened to her, she looked in the mirror she saw what he had done to her. The door bell rang several times; she didn’t want to open it she thought it was Justin coming back for what he started. She slowly moved to the door still in fluds of tears shaking. Then she stopped the banging on the door was getting louder and louder ,she thought  she should open it or not. But she soon recognised the voice it was her Uncle Robert  who was at the door to see if she wanted anything .Jade thought it was Justin but she could tell it was her uncle as he was shouting through the letter box. She felt so relieved it was her uncle Robert she opened the door and her uncle  was very shocked to see her niece battered to death, her face badly bruised. She rushed to her uncle and gave him a big hug that she’s so glad he’s here.

Uncle Robert is like “Right I’m of to go down to his flat where does he live?”.... But Jade was like “No please don’t Uncle Robert "I don’t want to make matters worse”.“He can’t get away with this Jade!” “Have you seen how badly he’s hurt you”. She asked her uncle to sit down and she told him what happened that he did rape her and she asked him to stop but he wouldn’t let go and more in detailed This is when uncle Robert is fuming, angry and disgusted at what this guy has done to her niece.  Jade told her uncle that thought "he was the nicest guy ever; he told me he loved me he brought me presents and he told me how pretty I was he so lovely". Uncle Robert says "But now Jade this has taught you a lesson about meeting someone online I told you not to meet up with him didn’t I but you was adequate to meet him. This is why you don’t meet anyone of the internet, because you got to be careful of the information you give out on your profile. You got remember that you don’t know who your friends are because any of them they could give out more information onto someone else who you don't know." "You don't know what they will do with your phone number if you give out your number without realizing so you got to be careful".  Uncle Robert says "You want to think about twice when writing up your statues because anyone could follow you there without realizing that someone watching you; so should put a little information on your profile so you don't get any stalkers on the loose; or even if your writing on your wall about something or someone would you want your mum , dad or anyone else seeing it if no then don't post it up because your profile could be seen by everyone so it may be a public so everyone sees what you’re doing and who you are .”



The final chapter!!

She realized she had to do something she had to make this stop Justin knew everything about her. She didn't know that anyone could see her profile. She wanted to look good for her friends. She didn't know anyone could find information about her and to be her friend which obviously he wasn't. She soon put her settings on friends so that none else can see her profile except from her friends. On the left hand side on msn she pressed the report abuse button which if your getting  abused from someone you don’t know or someone’s cyber bullying you, you can press on this to make everything stop that what Jade did she did it. The CEOP police Pete Davies came to my house they wanted Jade to make a statement about it she did she told him exactly what happened what he did to her , she showed him her marks what he has done to her . Jade said  "Pete was so understanding she said he helped me get through this and he told me I had made the right choice". He arrested the guy Justin ,she saw him being arrested . Justine was like let me go I haven’t done anything get off” She felt so much better now he’s locked up and now she has stopped it from happening to any young girls out there.


Production Style

The production will be very realistic to TV dramas today but with more explicit of  the material. The format for my drama will be  in standard screen play for television. You need to present it in a high standard look. I will use different camera techniques so for e.g in my 3 piece sample script - I would use camera shots like mid shot of Justine and Jade where you see the physical and tense situation here. I will use close ups as well to capture the characters emotions this be really good to see because it will show guys who are rapists the pain in what they are causing to these young girls who are innocent and so you can get a real feel of the situation. There be a lot of mid shots and close ups in the bedroom stage.Image can be colour or even saturated into black and white so you get that gritty look on the situation of creating tension in the drama. In the second part script so this is where we are introduced to Jade's uncle who comforts her.I will use long shots so you get the feel of the room with showing detail in the background . I may zoom in on this slowly to give me a mid shot so I can focus more on the upper body with listing to the conversation they are having . I will use over shoulder shots so you can see who is talking at what point where Uncle Robert is listing to her niece and helping her in what to do. On the 3rd part script I will use camera angles such as long shot of Jade talking to the officer and then maybe have the camera panning towards on the character who is talking. I may also use over shoulder shot there most common when we see a conversation is being taken place. I will have a shot of Uncle Robert where he is sitting on the other side of the room so a mid shot . 


   The music elements will be quite in a soft tone but I don't think there be any music in this 3 sample script because I don't need audio in the main focus scenes of the script. The music  in the full script will die down when there is tense moments so this be where Jade is running for her life as she escapes from Justin's bedroom and  then the music will pick itself up again. There be soundtrack of happy moments of a scene where we see Jade talking to Justine over the internet as she is so excited about meeting him later that day; The music for this will be pop /dance music  this be where we see her getting ready to go out to meet her mystery guy.When we see her making her way to the park the music so the pace starts to  picks up as she is slowly walking up to the park; the music will be a bit more dramatic  when we see him  walking towards her , the music stops there with a bang when we see him next to her and then there is silence.When she actually meets him  they start talking  and the soundtrack builds up  to  happy music in a pop style. With Jade running from Justine’s house we can have fast editing moving quickly here  I think that be quite good with the camera tracking her movements. Then with her in the house of when the front door goes we could have a black out of lightning affects of striking noises with building up tension to when she answers the door. Also where the  phone is ringing nonstop it  gives that spooky feel of the unknown so it creates an enigma here. I will use a close up of the phone ringing and I will use a mid shot of Jade in tense mode. I will use a panning in shot where the door bell goes so the camera will slowly zoom in to the door, this creates an enigma to. I can can have a nice mid shot of her and her uncle talking and  I will use over shoulder views as well  When we see Jade talking to the ceop this can be done in few shots because you don't want it to drag on. At the end of Justin being arrested we can fast shot paces that flow nicely after each other but in slow capture way action way.I may have a sound effect of a camera going of so it's like someone is taking a picture of this but in slow motion . 


How will it link into professional standards for a a script writer!!


I would say my script does meet the expectations of what a script writer is all about. I was quite imaginative about my idea, I did think about how I would put it into a final piece of a script .  The BBC are looking for scriptwriters who can write in detail and how a script writer can be creative with their ideas with producing it even further to a final script; I think my script shows these elements of what a script writer is looking for. My script can be useful because it has a well thought  out structure/content of my story. I have put a lot of detail in my script , so you can get the visual outlook and feel of this on how it will look in a drama series. The team of readers do look at how you have build your characters on how they will impact in their role in a series like these. The team of readers  will look at how  professional your script is. They will have a look to see how you have came up with the ideas for the roles of your characters, they will look at who you have chosen to play the characters.  The characters they will need to show a strong outcome in your drama. You want the characters to link in well with finding the right actress/actress for the job . The readers team what to read something and think yea that's really good , hopefully if they read my script will make them chose it . 


The characters in my script is is a guy called Justin you can  probably can relate this character in  society today with people being stereotypical in the way they look; In this case we have Justin he is the antagonist in my script he wears tacky bottoms  and he wears a hoodie. When thinking of this character you would think that he is a bad guy with the whole clothes look because we would associate him of being a dangerous source. Then you have a young girl called Jade she is very popular at school , she is a nice girl who has been put into this situation but she soon does the right thing on telling the ceop police on what has happened to her and then you have her uncle who is around a lot as her dad is working a lot. Jade's uncle is always there for her , she can easily talk to him about anything so they have a great connection there. The characters in my script they can relate to my story line today in society of  what does happen in the world online. Hopefully the team of readers will think if they did see this I have put a lot of thought into my story and as well as the characters, camera angles etc . 


I have used actors/actresses from harry potter film so Malfoy , I have chosen him because in the harry potter films he brings this horrible , mean and I get what I want character. I thought he be well suited for this role to play Justine ass he can be mean manipulated character. I chosen Selena Gomez for the young girl Jade She pretty girl and she is young as well so I thought she could bring her acting side into this drama series. I did find an actual Ceop officer so I thought it be good because he has a lot of experience in dealing with  young girls like Jade who have been in a similar situation like hers , so I thought it be good to use someone professional in my drama.  My script relates to internet problems today as many young teenagers meet people online who they don't really know.The young girls are then put into a difficult situation , they don't know what to do when there put into a difficult situation like this. The young girls i'm sure would be distressed, hurt and upset on why they have been chosen for this outrageous thing into have sex. Some guys don't listen and they pressurize the young girls into having sex when they don't want to .Hopefully the team of readers will think my characters work well in my actors/actresses. If you explain why on your chosen actors then they will think you have thought in depth on what kind of characters you want to create which it shows I have done . 


 I think the team readers will look at this and think yes they will use it because it shows a a huge impact on the characters I have created. I have linked them well in the actors/actress who I want them to play. My script can relate to young people who have been in a situation like this and hopefully by showing a drama like this , the team readers will think this can help with people to show them that they can do something about this if they have been in a potion like this . Hopefully it will make them think twice so the ( antagonist) guys in society today, who have done this to young girls and hopefully it will make them think on their actions they have perused towards the young girls. I would hope it will make them more aware of what they are doing and how upsetting it is by a guy raping a girl.  It be good for the guy to see how distressful , hurt , upsetting it is by them seeing the real them on hurting young girls. I would hope it will make them stop doing this by seeing the true visual aspect of what a guy has done. The team readers will look at the correct format you have got it it and the write format of script so slug lines so the heading of the exterior , characters , dialogue and the description and camera angles . I have put all these things in except from the camera angles but the the description is in detail in what you do see in the scene . 


The BBC wants you to be as creative as you can as there is a lot of planning involve for writing on a script . You have to think about the environment , characters , story line , music , camera shots and more. The BBC have a website for anyone  if they are thinking about a career  in script writing .  If the If the person wants to be a scriptwriter and they  have the writers form of their own ideas which they just want to get out and they can send them their script. The BBC writers room website they can help with structure on how they can meet professional standards of becoming a scriptwriter. On the BBC writers room they have a writing process for them to help  them with the elements of what is expected of you when becoming a script writer . It can be a stressful thing of creating drafts , the ideas of developing it into a further final script.

 I would say my script relates  to young people aged 15 - 18. You would see this happening more in this age rage of a young girl being put into this situation because there more vulnerable at this stage and the some guys get a thrill out of this by picking on these sort of people which I personally think is wrong . I have developed my idea further throughout my script on the content of the story and structure of how things happen , occur , and how situations like these can be sorted out.  I would say this drama would be shown after the after the water shed I would say eleven . I say this because the material in this story is very explicit in some scenes , they can be upsetting , distressful and disturbing to watch for young kids to watch; that's why we have the watershed so scenes like these are shown a lot later on after the 9pm watershed .  


How the script room works!!

They look for the best writes who have a development in their writing skills , this will show in their writing . They look a t the script to find out more on the story line and the characters . They look at person script and think they have a lot to deliver with the imaginative they have put into a a script . The BBC look at if they have real potential in the media industry of getting their work out there and broadcasted . If they think the script is worth publishing they will send it to the BBC department . The scrip needs to be strong so it meets high standards in what you are creating , it needs to have that strong visual aspect to it. They want to see your best draft of your script and then that can be showed to them . They are always wanting to find new form of scrips so something that hasn't been shown yet . I don't think anything of my script has been shown of TV not like the way I have created it in , I would say mine is different in a form of way with it's strong visual aspect look of the whole production . The BBC writers room will get professional standard people in to read the scrips. If your script is accepted in the second look of a another person they will notify the director for a full feedback in what they think of the script .

A new Production Diary =/


So now apparently we are re filming and starting from scratch now =/. I kind of see why because the day we filmed at Lee on Solent the weather was pretty bad especially with that wind. When you went back over the footage you couldn’t hear what we were saying, it was really bad. But I did sort out the sounding for it by sorting out the audio levels out by making it lower ,which I thought was alright the footage to be honest with you. We had some good cut a ways I got told and it was good. But the rest of them didn’t think so. When I got back to college due with not being well. I had found out that the editing had gone, so i don't know if it was my group or not or if someonelse been on it and ruined it.  I spent my time on that. I did do most of the editing ha ha I enjoy editing ha ha . It was all disrupted with other stuff which they obviously had mucked it up by pressing buttons as they don't really know how to use adobe premier. But I did show them how to but I don't think they were that interested in learning so no offence though. But the editing was all gone , but last time I was in the editing on premire was all there so I don't know. They discussed about starting a new children’s drama,

Starting again!!

They approached be about doing a new children’s drama by scraping the old one which they already did. They were telling me there new idea of still being pirates but getting rid of the aliens from our children’s drama. So basically it’s about these pirates who are looking for treasure but they hear someone in the forest and the pirate go into the forest and goes and investigates the noises from the bushes. Then one of the pirates finds it’s a boy who has got lost in the woods but he has runaway because he has been horrible to his friends. Then the child wants us to help him and the child wishes that he can turn back time to undo this mess of his. Then the pirates helps him out with his situation and tells him that he’s got to be nice not horrible so it relates to children of how being nice to people gets you somewhere in life. But being horrible is not really nice to be that person. So the boy gives the pirates these sweets that are kinda like treasure. The pirates give the boy this device which makes you change the past well undo things that you want to change. So the boy helps them out by the boy being a nicer person and giving them the treasure and then the pirates will help the boy out as he goes back in time and the pirates end back on the beach.


The only thing I worry about is that we haven't got long to get all the filming done now by redoing it all and then we got editing to do which may take a little bit of time. People think editing is so simple but when you think about it okeay it is easy but when you have to put all of the footage on well finding it first on the hard drive, then renaming the files, then putting it into order, then cutaway bits, then put the sound (audio) but finding the right audio which will work with our children’s drama. Also doing a sequence title so it's just going to be a bit like rushing it to get it done. Problems occur when editing like the computer freezing all the time, footage, then using after affects I can see it all going wrong in a way. I just wished that they didn’t get rid of my editing bit of the old drama we could have used that and progressed with it.


The characters!! - Settings!!


I'm still a pirate but I’m now going to be Shipmate, Instead of Georgia being the captain Parrotless we have Claudia now as the Captain are told well instructions from the Captain. The Captain can get fire headed easily and annoyed if the pirates’ aren’t doing what they We still have awaiting replies from Georgie friend to be one of the actors Joe as one of the pirates who a bit loving warmth to animals he sees along the way within his character. The setting where were filming is now at Netley Beach. Then we have Kenny as the lost boy but I don’t who that is yet so.... but his character where he’s quite a spud boy who can be a bit funny in what he says. He is a lost boy and he is upset as he has been horrible to all of his friends’ just feels really down but soon cherks up!!

Problems did occur for this =/
. We arranged to film on the day wen we arranged , but then my group wanted me to pick up the camera in the morning and not meet them till half twelve . They were not going to come up in because they were going to take the morning off , but that's bit unfair when I had to come in early they just take morning off, it doesn't work like that so yea . But then they did come in in the end after a while of txts . Then things did happen in the group , with people having a go like at me as i was the bad guy but i wasn't in the wrong though so I Don't know how that worked . Then they went of filming , but I didn't know about it so that was messed up a bit so yea . I had everything with me to go and shoot but problems occured in that bit. So then the group was a bit off for bit . But then we sorted it out with each other but were all good now so yea =)

Editing !!
I looked at the footage they did over at Netley , It was good but it just had the same shot (mid shot for each which doesn't really look that good . It's better to use a variety of shots because it looks so much better and interesting to watch . I like the first shot of them on the beach as it was long shot of the beach in the background, it gives that nice scale shot of the background and them in shot. The next shot I thought was really good of Kirean , Claudia , Shannon where they have used adobe after effects to create the affect of them struggling with the map with the the flashing striking affects of them moving that was good with the affect they used . They had mid shot of them arrving on the beach dancing in a form of way which was funny , Kirean who starred in was a good actor I thought very good . Then you had a shot of them hearing something in the woods that they nay need their help, then you have the captian talking "the only thing thats goingto help me go on around here is helping me find by treasure. I used a Dip to white transition here, I thought it looked alright."Then they had a mid shot of them hearing something in the woods , then another mid shot of them in the woods being anxious of the help noises coming from the woods. Then you have another mid shot of Kenni who cracks up jokes on the pirates. Then him saying hes run away from his freinds because hes been horrible to them . Then you have another mid shot ofthe pirates telling him he should be niceto his freinds . Then you have Shipmate handing Kenni the device this is an overshouldr view but then a mid shot of kenni having the device. The transition I put in was a dissolve type thing of when Shipmate is giving the device to him so I thought a dissolve affect be good of it appearing in his hand . Then you have the 3 pirates saying something can't remember now this is a mid shot again then it dips to black at the end which I put in as they were heading back to the beach .  I did sort out al lthe audio levels because in some parts it was quite quiet and you couldn't hear what they were saying .They did use like a eerie sound for the forest to create the feeling of the uknown of whats in the foreset which was good to use for the forest scene .

Good points of an interview !!

The interview I watched was the new movie of breaking dawn part 1 with Taylor Lautner .



The good points of this interview was :


- The lady who was interviewing Taylor Lautner was very friendly with a nice greeting saying that "it was nice to finally meet you" .This makes the interviewee feel at ease, and makes them feel more relaxed.



- The lady seems very happy and really enthusiastic about the movie, this makes the interviewee feel really comfortable being interviewed.



- She knew what she wanted to ask him she wanted to find out more about his character as he has progressed over the 4 movies and now there’s whole new Jacob.



- The interviewee was very confident in what the interviewer asked him



- The lady was very confident in what she was saying, confidence is good it makes you feel good about yourself and it comes across in a good way to that interviewee



- Good eye contact she was giving as it shows that she is interested in what he is saying



- Great posture she had sitting relaxed and listing to him.



- You can see they were having a bit of a laugh; sense of humour is good it makes the interview more relaxing for the both of the people it makes the conversation easier to flow easily.



The interviewee (Taylor) was very confident with giving his answer on about his new character role in the movie he was giving good eye contact with her, he was sitting relaxed like he was just at home.



- The lady was giving her own feelings of when Jacob and Bella were in the forest dancing with each other , this made Taylor react but it a happy , laughing way with the emotions it does bring to us in the movie .



-Taylor was giving his own take on how  he’s still in the moving and that he’s so thankful that he’s still here today - you can see he loves being a part of these films and that he has grown and grown since the first ever movie of twilight .



-They both are very clear when there speaking so it’s good when you do because people can understand what you are saying.



-The lady was keeping in the subject to its content so she was asking stuff related to the movie and him as character , how he’s progressed, about his physical form in the movie so it’s good that she has kept in related to the move itself .



- During the interview it was good to see the parts of the movie where it related to what part they were talking about so the audience at home understand what they are talking about related to the movie. -It makes us part of it as well!!



- At the end it was nice to see the lady shaking his hand that shows you’re nice, presented person it makes a good impression of you.



- She was very professional about the interview as well


- They were both smiling so it made the interview more flowing when you see a person smiling it makes you feel that it’s going to be a comfortable, relaxed interview.

Bad ponts of an interview !!
















The interview I have watched is super bad this interview went terribly wrong!!

Bad Points :!!
 
 - Michael (Evan in the film) was stuttering in what he was saying not good
- Michael (Evan in the film) was fidgeting with his hands- this can show that he was nervous

- The interviewer (Egar Wright) was going of subject, he was talking about another film which had nothing to do with their movie.

- The interviewer (Egar Wright) was being negative about them with saying "what you going to do when your life is over in about 3 months?" - That is out of order why would you say that about someone’s career .

- The interviewee(Egar Wright) is using bad language now as the interviewer is making assumption about their life no wonder he is getting annoyed.

- But you SHOULDN'T use bad language in an interview it doesn't set a good example for the audience who may be watching this.

- One of the interviewee (Jonah) Seth in the film is setting a bad example of them as a person and their movie .

- People may think different of (Jonah) Seth in the fim in what they thought before.

- Now the interviewer (Egnar Wright) is making a remark of him being skinny and how other people can be funny in the film then him .This is out of order making a remark of him and comparing him to someone else that is wrong to ask and plus that is bit personal info there and way out of line .

- The interviewer (Egnar Wright) is now laughing at them and think it’s funny upsetting them and making sly comments about them You shouldn't do this it makes the interviewer seemed to be a nasty evil guy who taking the piss out of them and their characters in the movie . They should not being doing this as he has no right in saying this at all.

- Now one of the interviewees same one (Jonah) Seth in the film is using fowl language now to knock the interviewer out, he’s trying to sell the movie and he’s being an idiot and ruin things for them and laughing at both of them in their faces (the interviewer). That is not nice at all!! Joe has just hit the interviewer guy =/ and he has just walked out because he’s getting fed up with him now and making assumptions about him not being attracted. That is way over the mark saying that to someone it makes them feel shit about themselves and especially making that very opinionated of him !!

The other guy Seth in the film  doesn't seem that confident he doesn't know what to say to the interviewer he’s not giving him eye contact he’s looking away like he’s in his own little world.

 The interviewer (EgnarWright) seems like he wants to make their life hell when doing this interview, it’s like he wants to ruin them.
