DIGITAL NEWS • References to Viral Videos

-




In our intro we reference lots of different viral videos to give some history and show how many different ones there are.
  • Charlie bit my finger,
  • David went to the dentist
  • PPAP 
  • Keyboard Cat
  • Damn Daniel 
  • Harlem Shake 
  • Shia Lebouf
  • "About a week ago"

To introduce Katie Joslin, we created an X Factor style intro. We used a similar style of graphics to show our audiences things about her youtube channel such as how and views and subscribers she has. Josh and I also recorded the voice over to go with this which is in the same style as the Peter Dixon, who does the actual X Factor voiceovers.

Katie Joslin - Introduction

During Katie's Interview we included lots of little pop ups of different memes and references to random things that match with words that Katie says. for example, she said the word "saw" so we included the eyeball emoji, she also says the word "hobby" so we included an image of The Hobbit. These only last for a few seconds and there a sound effect that goes with them. 


The Pen Pineapple Apple Pen video is a running theme throughout out our final video. We mention the video right at the beginning and one of our original ideas was to have our presenter Josh dance to this video however we ended up going with just inserting a small clip of the original video. In our interview Katie Joslin also mentions the video and we have a pineapple as a prop on the table through the interview.


The bottle flip is another viral video that we included. We did the challenge ourselves in our live video and there is a shot after the live where Josh throws the bottle off screen and we cut to a shot of the bottle landing upright. This is a viral thing where people are faking themselves flipping the bottle after throwing it in a ridiculous way. 


In our outro, we included the "Bye, Felicia" as this is popular viral video and we also had our presenter do the dance from the "Don't Make me snap my fingers" video. This added another humorous element to the end of our video to finish it off.

Writing a Script

-

*A screenplay only tells us what we can see and hear*  Important things to consider are  Title page - which should contain the name of the story, the writers name, draft date and contact details which are important if you are handing out your script to people. Scene headings - the scene heading should state whether it is to take place inside or outside using INT. or EXT. It should also contain the location, e.g. BEDROOM, HOUSE and time of day - DAY/NIGHT Action -  The action under the scene heading should contain enough detail so that the reader can picture the location or action but concise enough that it is just a long paragraph of description, it should also be written in the present tense.  Characters - when introducing a new character, their name should be written in capital letters so that the reader knows they are a new characters. If the character is not in the scene but can be heart or are a voice over, then (V/O) or (O/S) should be used.  Dialog

Scott and Bailey - TV Drama

-

Scott and Bailey is a British crime drama focusing on the lives of two female detectives. DC Rachel Bailey and DC Janet Scott are not only work colleagues but close friends, a main part of the story is their relationship and the problems they have.  In each episode, there are 3 to 4 different story lines, the main one being based in the police station, centred on a crime and the others about the personal lives of the main characters. For my script, I would like to do something similar, I want to have the main story line revolve around a major case they have given, and then the personal lives of my two main characters, Shane and Annie.  The characters have many flaws that are pointed out in multiple episodes. For my character Shane, I want his flaws to be quite relatable. Through his dialogue and mannerisms, I want to reveal to the audience that he is wary of new people and finds it hard to trust them and that he is also emotionally immature and afraid of commitment b

PRE-PRODUCTION • Director of Photography | Research

I chose to be the director of photography (DOP) because I feel the over the course of the last two years my camera and lighting skills have increased greatly and I wanted to focus of those skills more in my final year. To fully immerse myself into being a DOP, it is important that I researched deeply into the role and what it would include. Being a Director of photography "includes creating the visual identity, or look of the film/ tv programme, they work with the Director, camera crew and lighting department to achieve this and they manage all aspects of filming, from ordering and overseeing equipment to reviewing footage." (Creative Skillset, 2017) My main tasks will include creating the overall look of Young & Famous and putting into play the vision of the director. I will be focussing the camera and lighting aspects of the role and make the technical decisions as well as some creative ones. Framing: for this, I will work closely with the dir
