Final Evaluation

This unit was very interesting and I enjoyed it because I was very familiar with "Blogger" before this unit came along, so finding my way around was quite easy. I enjoyed picking out colour schemes and changing the default settings to fit my taste. I am a very visual person therefore I enjoyed working on the visuals. The difficulty which I encountered was making a banner using photoshop. I found that hard because I have never used photoshop before but slowly I got better and I am very happy with my final banner. Blogging is a form of communication which is gaining in popularity and which potentially can attract a wide audience. The skills I learnt in this module are therefore critical in understanding the role of media in the 21st century. Media and communication are intrinsically linked therefore since I would like to forge a career in creative media, the skills learnt are surely to my advantage. It will also help me open doors by allowing me to have a space to post my work and enable it to be viewed by others.

MediaCast Poster Proposals






Pre-production

Idea Generation:

The idea I came up with started off with 2 guys fighting over a girl at a park but it would have been too common so as a group we decided to change things up. It ended up with 3 guys fighting over one girl. The 3 guys were divided like this: 2 cool guys and the other the nerd. We wanted to give it a modern twist. Also the girl played as a princess, to portray Juliet and give that medivial feel. As we continued discussing the story started coming together along with the cast and costumes. For this production we decided to aim at a young audience since the book is based on a guitar.

Synopsis:

Three guys trying to impress a beautiful princess but who will she fall for? Whos skills are the greatest of them all?

Production Schedule:

Filming took place on Saturday 7th May 2011, from 9am till 3.00pm


Location Plans:

We chose to film at San Anton Gardens at Attard. Here are a few pictures:








































Risk Assessment:

- The weather
- Uneven ground
- Stairs
- Heights

Those are practically the main risk assesments. There was always a camera assistant when handling with the equipment especially since we were filming on uneven ground and stairs. Someone could have easily fallen or slipped but noone did. Also the weather was on our side because it was sunny so there were no problems proctecting the equipment from rain.

Crew:

From left to right: Francesca Mercieca, Sephora Cutajar, Tamsin Pace Decesare and Rodianne Xuereb


Actors:

From left to right: "cool guy 1" played as David Grech Urpani, "the princess" played as "Dorianne Borg",  "the nerd" played as Peter Petrov and Darren Thomas Bowd played as "Cool guy 2".
