Final Post

Technical Strengths
In the editing it was described as being quite smooth and fluent. The colors were over the top and not really needed. there was a mismatch in colors. In the camerawork it was described as being very good but not many different types of shots were used. nothing was blurred and the shots were framed well. they said that they also liked the close ups.  in the production design it was described as the coding working well over the clips with it interperating christmas well. the title is good with good use of props and binery code. they said that they liked the banksy effect. In the sound there was a good soundtrack used. the dialogue was mumbled. the music was intense. the music fitted the show.

Technical Improvements
They said to check the music before working on the editing. there was some pointless shots. There wasnt very clear speaking, with not very good color corrections. Somebody looks at the camera. there was mostly only close ups and mid shots used. The music is a little out of sync. it would of worked better if we improved the camera focus on opening sequence.

Project Narrative and Meaning
No meaning, dosent make sense. It was directed well. Other people said that it was a good opening sequence and you get a good understanding of it.

Target Audiance
Aimed at young teenagers and familys.

what soundtrack we used

This is a song from the artists two steps from hell which I recommended to have a look at. The director and the production designer had a listen to some of the songs, and we agreed that this song was the best choice for us to use.

Script planning

Before i made the script i had to understand what makes a great script. I analysed a scene from the godfather.

Mud Map

This is a mud map of the last sequence that was shot it shows the room and the different camera positions.

Script

I worked on the script using everything I learned from narrative description to dialogue blocks to wryly. The two characters part of the script are Quentin and Fred talking about schoolwork when they bump into a mysterious folder called MuTr:IX.

the mutrix foler design

We had to reshoot the first scene, this was because alot of the camera angles were not as good as we could of made them. Another reason was because we did not have any mutirx folder with the logo top secret and the title MUTR:IX on it. Instead we just used a plain blue folder which had no relevance to Mutrix idea. After being told to reshoot the scene, I then designed a picture on photoshop which looked like a folder which was top secret. I got the background from lostandtaken.com which is a background website. I got the logo top secret from google images and played around with the colour of it to make it look more like our own design.

Reshoot

we had to re shoot our intro to the episode of Mutr:ixfor many reasons. one of the reason was that the folder was a plain blue folder so we made the folder have mutrix and top secret on top. we also had to reshoot because the dialogue wasn't clear

Storyboard

This is the storyboard for the last sequence. It shows two people talking in the student centre. They are talking about there media homework and how hard it is. After they finish they look down and see a folder on the floor saying MUTR:IX. This is when they get tipped off about the MUTR:IX conspiracy.

The story board shows different camera shot such as over the establishing shot and close ups. These give the sequence more of an effect when watching it.

what font we used

This is the font we picked as a group to use. We thought that it made the look on the title MUTR:IX have more of a conspiracy theory to it. I downloaded this font and designed the names for all the characters using this font (doc 51)

The 'SNATCH' Title Effect

To create the snatch title effect, on the timeline i put the cursor where i wanted the video clip to pause and become the credit. I used the razor blade to cut at the video clip at this point. then moved up the timeline to the remainder of the footage.

Then i imported the original character and the new character, background and text files onto premiere. then placed them into premiere and used fades and motion to create the snatch effect like in the picture to the left.

banksy effect

This is a still that was from the live action sequence when we went outside and filmed. It was then imported into premiere.

After taking a screen shot from premiere I then imported it into photoshop and played around with the colours. After trying new effects I felt that the banksy style would look the most effective while doing the snatch effect.

Rendering of footage, almost finished project

This is me rendering the opening sequence and scene 1 together before i need to add more footage to the final project. The project is 1 minute 50 at the moment, i need to put in 10 seconds of more footage to make a good enough length of a video.

editing

The editor is doing his job. working with the cinematographer.

Mood board for graphic ideas

These are ideas of pictures for the title sequence. These can help separate the sequence and make it more interesting.

Target Audience

This is our Target Audience for Doctor Who

Mood Board

The pictures on this mood board represent the characters that were given to us, characters  such as a Non activist, an activist, a gamer and a scientist. In the top left is a picture of a gamer, playing a game with two screens. On the right to that picture there is a computer expert fixing a desktop. On the right side of the page there are fashion characters. On the left is a guy at the gym doing his routine.

Scientist Character -Quentin

  

In the title sequence I play a character who is a scientist called Quentin. I analyzed the different Characteristic of Quentin. I imagined him wearing a lab coat because he is a scientist and i think he is an athiest because he thinks everything must have an answer. He probably speaks in a formal tone than short slang and his delusion is that he thinks he is the smartest scientist. He plays Minecraft and portal because it gives him creativity when he plays Minecraft as well as challenging puzzles in Portal. I think he might go to website like Bitesize because he like education and is passionate about it.

 

Mutrix Overall Design

Theses are our multiple ideas for the different areas of the small movie. were thinking about using the font dont 51 for the project.

Mutrix Gamer Character Joe

This is a character designed around a gamer and a nerd. This has all the personal details around a gamer and a nerd.

Mutrix Non Activist character - Fred

This is my character which is the non activist, I have designed and planned out his lifestyle. 

Fred is 17 years old and studdies Photography and p.e. He takes alot of time making his appearance look good. Fred wears skinny joggers, skiny jeans (black, blue and grey) Fred also wears different type of snapbacks. Fred's general manner  is that he is polite around adults, he also has a lad sense of humor with alot of banta. Fred's view on the world is that he thinks everything is a competition, and that people should be stylish. His beliefs are that he is an agonistic.

Keeping up to date with his favourite t.v shows is really important to Fred, as he will discuss them with his friends. At the end of a day Fred will settle down and play games such as fifa 14 and call of duty.

Mood Board

The pictures on this mood board represent the characters that have been given to to us. Each of these are different ideas for the title sequence. All show a different design of each character.

Mutrix Mood Board

The pictures show different ideas to have for the characters. The top right shows what the non activist could be light. The top left shows what the activist could be like, the bottom left shows what the scientist could be like and what he would like to do in his spare time and the bottom right shows the gamer and graphic design at what he could be like and what he may like to do in his spare time. this moos board shows the four different characters in our film..

  

Mutrix Fonts

These are the test fonts for the main title sequence. We are thinking about using the last one or the fourth one down. It's going to be a hard to decide.

Sound Design

Alex Malik Jones 

A possible sound design that we might use.

Mood Board MuTr:IX

I  have created a mood board with pictures from the internet. As you can see the mood board has a variety of pictures. The Sci-Fi weapon was added because it is a weapon seem to be inspired by Doctor Who and we have a poster from the show. The eye scanner is used to give me more of an idea of the Genre because it uses technology and it seems like the person is a hardrive than a human. A picture of teenagers, school jock, politician, lab people and hacker were on my mood board to give me an idea on the 4 character.

L2 UNIT 40 - MuTr:IX Brief

Channel 4 has commissioned a six-part television drama to be scheduled at the same time as Doctor Who on the BBC. This new drama series will compete for a similar target audience as the BBC’s flagship programme. 

The series finale will conclude with a Christmas Eve special.

It will be a conspiracy thriller set at a sixth form college in Cambridge. Four students individually get tipped off by email / social media messages that students of the college are to receive a government agency experimental treatment originally trialled in 2009 (“Mutation Treatment IX”) which eradicates any sense of protest or activist behaviour in the upcoming generation of the electorate towards the government aim of absolute control. The treatment is received/ingested through the eye, without students’ knowledge or consent.

The four student protagonists are:

1. An activist (hacker, studying political sciences)

2. A non-activist (interests in sport, fashion, a consumer, alpha college social character etc.)

3. A computer expert (designer, programmer, gamer etc.)

4. A budding bio scientist (with interests in human biology)

TASK
In groups, you will produce the opening titles sequence and the opening scene in which one of the four students gets tipped off about the Mu Tr :IX programme.

The titles sequence will contain short scenes of the four main characters with the ‘snatch’ title effect, short action sequences, elements from the series, medical and scientific graphics, typography effects and video footage of the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology building next to Long Road.

SCHEDULE
The production work will last four weeks. One week for the planning and filming, with a further two weeks for the editing.
The project DEADLINE will be 4.10 pm Friday 13th December.
