15 MINUTES OF FAME

In Mal Reading class we worked on a radio recording exercise were the task was to record one person a small series of retorical questions were the interviewee and the interviewer can repeat the question.then my next task was to edited the audio on adobe audition.

The questions that I had asked

1. If you were on a desert island and you had to lisen to one song what would it be and why?
2. If you had to eat one meal for the rest of you're life what would it be?
3. What is you're favourite tv/film show and why ?
4. What makes you who you are?
5. If you could change one thing about the would today what would it be?

I happened to ask several people due to there responses and how they whanted to responed and also how the responses sounded on the recording device and I kept recording as many people as I could till I found the perfect interview.

Once I had found the perfect the interviewee I had to go onto the Adobe Auditionn CS5 and edit the audio plus getting sound effects that go with the answers.

I am writing to you as I have been charged with arranging an outing for my group. I have in the past visited your museum and really enjoyed the experience. As your museum is relevant to the subject we are studying ie: media and film, I thought that my group would enjoy a visit as much as I had done in the past. I am aware that you have got some new exhibits and we would love the opportunity of getting involved in some of your education and film workshops, if that were possible. My group comprises 19 students and 2 tutors. We do have a small budget for an outing, but I was wondering if you do free or reduced price packages for students. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. Yours sincerely, Joshua Buyukyilmaz

CCR Fortunate Son Music Video Evaluation

CCR Fortunate Son Music Video Evaluation

By: Joshua Buyukyilmaz

           

1. The idea that occurred to me to do Fortunate Son Music Video was because I wanted the music video to give the theme of the 1960s and early 70s as the song had to do a lot with the period and many themes associated with it e.g. the Vietnam War. The genre of my music video is an action/historical/rock genre.

My audience was a diverse British inner city sample from my inner city college. 

I selected the song for emotional resonance even though the title is quite unknown to most British audiences. I expected my audience to recognise the both the song and my treatment of the genre e.g. archive footage of the period. Consequently, I used archive footage of a particular period which is of strong interest to me and to what I thought suited the song. I felt that the song had the potential to fit well with the documentary/archive footage.

In developing my idea for a music video, I came across a comment by a former Vietnam veteran solder who credited the song as having saved his life from the Vietcong army.  This made a very profound impact on me. Therefore I was encouraged to do the music video even more using this time period around this particular song.  As a result, I chose action packed archive footage of this time period.  This was to reinforce the history and my own emotional resonance to the time period.

Feedback:

Although the use of archive footage from contemporary wars was suggested, I felt that I had to emphasise and showcase and reinforce American industrial military

power. Therefore I utilised U-2 jet fights deploying a carpet of bombs on the command of a solider in Vietnam.

2. Pre-production

The paperwork in pre-production was provide through templates and I went through them and filled each one out for example a call sheet which tells you who’s directing the video and who’s in it what there phone numbers are and where to meet them along with a map along with travel directions. I also found The Lyrics to the song on the internet this helped me as I was more able to focus on the music video then worry about creating lots of paper work. After paperwork was completely,

Production-filming

I began filming with a digital Olympic camera.  I also found this process to be quick as I decided to play the song twice and then chose which one is the best take. I also decided to use editing software off the internet as I wanted to be ahead of the game.

Post production- editing

After filming I decided to use editing software off the internet as I wanted to be ahead of the game. So I downloaded Video pad video editor. Then in post Lip synchronising with camera and sound were adjusted stuff was put on the computer, I had to retrieve the song and then sync the two together

3. What went well?

During the entire process I felt that that the only thing that went well during all the 3 stages of production I feel that the stage that went well was the production process. This because there was no paper work involved and I got to do everything in my own way and in my own time.

What went badly?

As much as I enjoy the filming I did not enjoy the pre-production paper work as I thought that my production did not necessarily need off of the pre-production paperwork needed to film my music video.

4. What the audience thought?

My audience reaction sheet was quite short and sweet because I wanted the audience to complete it I used closed questions. This is also the result of getting a lot of information in a short period of time and 

 

5.  

4/12 thought that the music video was good and 8/12 thought that the music video was awesome I’m not sure if the group really thought it was good or awesome but I certainly feel that they learnt something from it as it was based on a important part of American 20th centaury

Do you think that there was a good mixture between archive footage and the video footage? :

Yes/no 5/12 thought that the music video wasn’t a good mixture as 6 out of 12 thought that the music video was a perfect mixture of archive footage and live action filmed footage.

Do you think the video could be having improved in anyway? :

Yes/no

3/12 thought that the video did not need much improvement as 8/12 thought that the video did not need improvement

Do you think that the video was very patriotic? :

Yes/no

12/12 the whole classes opinion thought that the music video was very patriotic and one person said that it was very Americana.

6. What I have learned

I think that the video could have been improved with better editing with the live action even thought I think that there was a even amount of archive and live action footage in the music video and I also feel that my video has a strong message at the end of it. However but I also think that because of the audience reaction sheet the feedback there isn’t a lot I can say about what I have learnt about my music video experience.
