My Produced Work
1. Lightsaber Visual FX
In Level 2 (2017-2018) we learned how to do some new visual FX that they use in many films from flying to the lightsaber. We learned how tedious it can be for professional editors to create a light up blade that moves very quick and make it look effortless. We were unaware that you have to go frame-by-frame with a mask over a stick and moving it into the right position for the full length of the video, once you've done that you can add any colour to mask to get the famous glow of the Kyber crystals which create the famous weapon. I decided to make it red as this is my favourite colour.
Following the lightsaber we moved onto creating the split-screen effect which is where you have the same person on the screen at the same time but they do different things like the film Legend starring Tom Hardy when he played the Kray twins. We used two people standing opposite places and recorded them reacting and then swapped the people around and had them repeat the previous action then edited them together.
3. Unsolved (Short Film)
At the end of my first year I released my first ever short movie with a small group of friends which we called Unsolved. It was about a cop who gets killed whilst undercover and his partner goes bad-cop and seeks revenge against the people who killed his friend. This was my first real experience with editing footage and sound into a short movie.
4. Harton & Westoe Boxing Club
Last year we were asked to create a promotional video for a local boxing club as one of our college units. We were asked to take photo's and video's of people training as well ourselves using equipment so we could get even more footage and content to include in our promotional videos.
5. Imagine (Fan Video)
At the start of my last year of college, we were asked to make a small video about anything we wanted so, I decided to make a music video for the famous song Imagine but covered by a Swedish Musician. I wanted to make it more emotional by making it about humanity and how we should cherish everyone we know and what we have in this life and not take things for granted.
6. Coin Toss
With a training lecturer, we were taught various new camera techniques and editing techniques. After learning these techniques we were asked to recreate a famous film scene including a coin toss and we tried to edit it to make it an exact recreation of the scene, I added a black and white filter to make the scene more tense as well as some more tense music.
Just before Christmas we took a trip to Sunderland University to work in the film and TV studios where we created a fake news report about a footballer being signed to Sunderland, when asked what roles we wanted to take up, I was very eager to take the role of Director as it is the job I would like to be when I look for work within the Media Industry.
For one of our exams in our final year, we had to create a small dramatic video with specific specifications to make the video worthy of reaching the goal of the exam requirements. I decided to make my drama video on the feud between the media and photography department at college over the studio and how annoying it can be for the media department.
As another trip with college, we went to Tyneside cinema to create our own fictional short film trailer. My group made a spoof trailer for a film called "Nose"feratu based off the original vampire horror film Nosferatu. I was the director of this small group, I was in-charge of positioning everyone in the correct place, lighting, costumes etc and it was successful for only getting a few hours to plan, record and edit all together before the deadline.
1. Happy Town
Just like Noseferatu, I helped make another short film trailer based off the classic movie "The Wicker Man" it was called "Happy Town" I did the narration and also acted in this video as many characters from a local pub goer to a cult member. This was my first real experience on working on a small movie set.
2. Four of a Kind
Me and a small group of our friends decided to enter a small film festival competition (which might not happen) we came up with the idea to make the film about a poker game that gets heated and ends with a fatal injury (not real) and we never got to film the rest which was a shame but it still turned out alright.
3. Daniel, You Have Failed This City?
I bought myself a bow and I have a green hoodie and I really wanted to test it out in a video to see how we could make it look (the arrows weren't real) it was a small spoof on the TV show Arrow from 2012.
4. Halloween Performance 2019
The drama department at college did a performance in Sunderland for a Halloween parade, we were asked to record the rehearsals as well as go to the final performance in the middle of Sunderland and then edit all of the footage together to send back to the drama department to use in their work.
5. Cereal Killer: Spoiled Milk
One of our main units this year was to create a longer short film than last year, my friend made his film a sequel to a film he created last year but wanted to add more drama and test new editing effects and styles to make his film more realistic and entertaining to the audience. I played a few characters and tried my best to make it believable for the audience.
