RGB in adobe colour is easily adjusted and you can create any thing you want colour wise. It is perfect for making any colour palette you want. The fun part is learning about the different colours and making the actual colour for yourself. I found it an experience because the RGB colour scheme has shown me that you can make a lot of other nice colours using all the different types of shades of RGB.

My reflection on the postcard process is simple. I love what I have created and in hope that the many people who if they ever see it will buy it. But they can't because they are concept at the moment. Although personally if I was visiting Bath and wanted a postcard of high quality I would purchase one of the postcards, and I say that not in a self-promoting way. I really think my postacards are good and maybe one day the get put into production. Althoigh this was purely for fun. Alot of people have said that they are good not just myself, You could ask for anyon'e opinion and they would probably say something ina posititve direction.

In the movie we made, that is and action film including A CIA agent with a USB that has something mysterious on it that is worth £10 million. Then a thief comes along and steals the USB with his incredible parkour skills. This then turns into a chase. I play the hooded kid funnily enough. I like the way we shot this because, it is really good and there are some good quality stuff in there. The Chase isn't really a movie because it is almost 2 minutes long so it is kind of a short in sense. Although the music is engaging, the talking and acting out the conversation was very quick and quiet by Koda Walters who plays Geoff the person who receives the USB. This was easily figured out because I can increase the volume in Adobe Premiere. The chase was fun to film but an experience for all of us. We have are different views but, we worked well as a team and thats important. I think the final video is great and that I did a lot of cutting and adjusting to make it absolutely perfect. I

When we filmed in the park the objective was to learn about all the shot sizes. It was really interesting and very informative to see how you can make a film that is good without flow because of the shots needed. I have a different view when I watch films now because of being a director myself. I like that and this could prove handy in further days. We went out and set everything up for the first time with a scrappy piece of paper explains our instructions. None of us had a very good clue as to how we were to do this. The we nominated the positions and i was voted director. Then after that I proceeded to shoot. It was good fun at start then we started to think with a bit more detail. This helped me to focus on the task at hand.  Even though this was our first time we were keen to make it good. Now you are probably wondering about the music. Yes it is for humour but when you think more. It all makes sense. He is lonely and so hence the lonely music. Then comes the famous Randy

In the stages of making my postcards, I had started by going out into Bath and taking pictures of the things that I though make Bath stand out, for example the roman Baths and the rugby and also the famous hotel that looks over the waters in the city centre. Secondly, I then took the photos back and chose the correct ones that I thought were the best one to apply. After that I proceeded to carry onto designing my layout and so as you can see, in the image below, that they are all different sizes and so this gave my more time to plan the part that would go in-between. Thirdly, I then carried onto the background after of which I had a think about what I was going to put in-between the cracks because I didn't want to move the sizes of the pictures because those angles show the quality in them. The process of putting the golden tints in took a while so this was probably why it look so great in my opinion. The angles that were chosen on each photo was chosen carefully. My tea

These are my final postcards: The first one is for teens and this is because it shows a basic style and most importantly - sport. The Bath Rugby badge is eye catching to most teens, and so should assist them and persuade them to buy it. I like the fact that the faded gold background make it stand out like it does, and that the pictures that are in the background are also of high quality. The middle postcard is for kids because the font of 'BATH' is childish writing and so should be used with the vibrant red to stand out and make the postcard look appealing. I don't think this is the best out of the three but thats kind of the point. The picture that inter weaves through the postcard and dills the letters give the postcard more colour and also more of a point. The final one is for adults. This is since, that it is eye catching and that the writing is informative and the information is more mature. Also the font I used appeals especially to adults as a decorati

My decision to join bath college after being at Downside school for 5 years was a tough decision. I could leave at first the original idea was to stay and do a levels. They don't offer a media A-level so I couldn't really stay. Although my dream is being followed to one day become a film director, it is an incredibly different lifestyle here . I now take the bus to college, instead of leaving home with my mum every morning in her car. Which for some is a big leap, but I will cope! In fact I like taking the bus, it makes me feel independent instead of relying on my mum all the time. I love the city of Bath, I never get to come into the city since I was at school pretty much 24/7. Which means I get close to spending my bus money everyday from going to the cinema and shake-away all the time. It was a treat for me to come into the city, but now I have access to the bus I can come all the time! And it's beginning to become second nature.

Today  i made my first edit and it was very interesting to see how real film directors would make their movies. It was very fun as well as interesting. I had a bit of fun to find out what you can do with Adobe Premier. As you can see in the bottom left there is a lot of Sound effect options. 

There are 4 stages to making a video in premier. Here are those 4 steps: You'll see 4 sections. In the bottom left is where you should start. You need to go to finder and select all your footage. Once this is done you can then go ahead to drag it up to stage up. 2. mark you footage (cutting). These marking tools look like this: {,}. once you are happy with this you can click the video icon. After you have done this numerous times from making your video you can move to stage 3 3&4. This is combined with stage 4 because you can't use one without the other.      

1. Always start the design brief with “I am going to design and make .....”.  This is followed by a general description of the type of device you feel will  answer the design problem. 2. Do not be too specific. The brief should be a general description that allows you  flexibility regarding the type of product you intend to make.   3.  Do not be specific about materials. It may be wise to avoid stating the exact materials  it will be manufactured from (eg. pine, steel, etc...). Instead describe the materials to be  used as strong, tough, flexible, natural, recycled, water-proof or similar general descriptions.   4. Mention points such as; safety, general size, what it will do (it’s functions), general properties  of the materials needed, who it is for (eg children), basic cost of manufacture or a lower and  upper cost limits and other points you feel are important. A design brief is a written explanation, given to a designer outlining the aims like objectives a

It is crucial for a designer to consider an audience because they can change how it looks to better meet the individual needs of the buyer. For example, for kids i chose a bright red background that stands out. This is because kids enjoy loud colours and are attracted to more exciting designs. I intend to create some Bath postcard designs for male teens. Some of the things I will have to consider include: Location: Skatepark (good dynamic location), apple store (appealing, but may have issues with copyright), The baths. Colours: Red/blue/Deep purple Layout: complex design (four images); simple design,  Font: Avenir next condensed,  What is my target audience? This is one of the best edits I've probably ever done. The symmetry is outstanding because of the artistic angle I took it at. The colours are appealing to male teens because of the saturation.

Timeline Financing Need to get funds from film company. The script may not even be finished. It's the idea that you pitch. Then you finish the script and the they get it locked. It can be adjusted but thats the actors choice, the story is the thing that is locked. Then you find your actors and bring them in..  after, you find your locations and angles to shoot. Schedule As I said at the end of the last paragraph you find your angles to shoot, and find the time to do it in (night, noon, day, etc). Not just the actors but the props, and crew. It is important that you time your schedule because of the shot you want, and the time you will have to shoot it at etc. Budget The key thing with budget and financing is how you spend it because you need to be 100% sure about what you are buying and the way you are buying it. For example you need to buy it legally and not from like a street dealer or something. Shooting Shooting is key to the making of any film. T

'BANANAS' In this film that I shot with a team of 5 (including actors) we made a short film for the soul purpose of understanding the 180 degree rule. It was interesting to use Adobe Premiere on myself because it gave me that extra push to make my film the best. I had passion because I feel that having my face in their had a massive impact on the way I influenced the the progress on my editing. I really enjoyed the making of the film but I also enjoyed the acting. It was fun to make because i was with my friends and that made it a fun unscripted experience for future days where we are going to make an actual movie! It was quite nice because following a script, and that is easy. It was great because it made me think so it gave it more of an original feel which is nice because they were real reactions as a pose to fake acting. The real best part of the making of the film was that anything can happen so, what we made for the fact that they were real reactions was in a since

This extreme wide shot is from the film mad max and was shot via a go pro and it includes a lot of intense detail around him and the car with the sandy desert . Here is an extreme close up of Comic book character Magneto, in the film X-men Apocalypse. Extreme Close ups are usually used for showing emotions on a persons face.    This medium shot was taken from the film ted, but really it was just a shot of actor Mark Whalberg (left) and then a cgi character on the right. This is an extreme long shot in the film Star Wars Empire Strikes Back where they have probably taken a picture of space and then cropped in an edited picture of this star destroyer. 

In this session, I got the chance to go out into the city of bath and find specific colours according to the colour wheel that I was given. The results were great! I found a lot of nice examples. there were a lot of brand colours that really caught my eye so I snapped them. The whole idea was to match the colours of the colour wheel and make that type of thing to your own accord in InDesign. So that's what I did and this is my result: I like my work because I have Cyan and a loud red                                                  My idea was to use the colours outside and turn it into a colour wheel, but not just any colour wheel. A different style, so to make one that fades the colours rather than has an immediate change to them. Also, you may notice that it goes down instead of a circle. I do know how but I thought that I could experiment with what I've got and seen how I can influence that into a better style and layout

WHAT IS GAMUT? Gamut is the full range of something, so what it actually means is the full range of colours in this case. It is a useful term in the world of colour to describe all the 16.8 million different variations. In colour reproduction, including computer graphics and photography, the gamut, or the colour gamut is a certain complete subset of colour. The most common usage refers to the subset of colours which can be accurately represented in a given circumstance, such as within a given colour space or perhaps by a certain output device.

Colours of the 70's The colours of the 70's would be more vibrant colours. They represent the more experimental stage that we went through. The previous 60's had blander colours where they were just introduced to an explosion of colour. Although the 70's dimmed down into more darker colours. The 60's introduced the colourful fashion that we have today. The retro fashion in the present day has come back, and has become the more appealing to wear lighter colours created by big brands. There are a lot of people if you go out and see, that they will wear something of a light colour. The 60's helped us to understand everything that colour has introduced to the world. The happy colour were made popular and the sadder and darker colours are less used because they represent emotions. The tactic was, to make everyone happy by making a lot of brighter colours for example: Blue, red, green and yellow etc.

In my useful postcard survey, I sadly found out that no-one pays any interest in postcards any more. I found this out in a particular survey question where I said: And as you can clearly see, it says: would you buy a postcard? and everyone said no. So I came to the conclusion that no-one like postcards anymore. And the only reason they would, would be for fun. This made me think about why the people of Bath don't like postcards and the simple answer is time. What I mean is that, technology has progressed so much over time that it has grown old fashioned to write a postcard. Obviously, now you can do it via text and so the former way of sending a message has been abandoned.
