Little Mix announced the winner of X Factor 2011.
A lot of television programmes they use time lapse photography more than films. The most common type of television programme this is shown in is DIY programmes such as Grand Designs and DIY SOS this is to show over time how the house gets changed in the space of a one hour show. The time lapse shows the process quickly this way it feels as though real time has been sped up. Unlike when the scenes are slowed down time seems to be taking forever while in this time is going really fast because the scene is been shown over a quick period of time. Although this doesn't create any tension, it just saves the audience from becoming bored too quickly.
The time affects the audience because the tension is building in the scenes that are drawn out and it feels as though the scenes are going on forever even though the scenes only last for a few seconds. While when time speeds up the scenes feel really short.
For this project I worked with my colleagues Katie Patrick, Jade Popham and Jodi Smith.
In our video we had to distort time, the way in which this was done was through conveying an atmosphere in which we had to build tension. The way in which we did it was through creating a story line that people will believe and be able to tell it. The way that this is able to be done is by creating a back story for the character. This is important so that it seems more believable. The actual back story wasn't very hard to create we decided to do something which is used almost every day. She sends a text message and is waiting for a reply however it is the importance of the text message as she has found out she is pregnant, only to find out that the number she has been texting has been cut off.
I think that the music in this video is very important, because at the start the music I decided to use is just one with people's voices talking in the background. I decided to use this because I thought it would show how she is in a everyday environment she is waiting for this text as though it is the most important thing in the world and could potentially change her life while everybody else is going about doing their everyday things. As the video goes on I added a heartbeat over the top, I decided to use a heartbeat because she is anxious and worried therefore the heartbeat shows that she has been waiting a while for this to happen, although in real time it hasn't actually been that long. Then at the end the music speeds up as she receives the text this is to build up the suspense. It is important for this because this is what the video has been building up to therefore it needs to come to some sort of climax.
I think that in films one of the most important aspects is time and therefore I think that by slowing down time the audience gets the same feelings of anxiousness as the actor, this helps the audience to relate to the film.
Practicing Funky Skills
This was our practice over head plan. In this we had to measure out how far each of these would be away from each other. It took quite a long time to work out how far each camera and lights would be away. This was the first time we had to take everything into consideration. In think that this was important to do because in this we realised how much other things directors have to take into consideration.
