Soundtrack for FMP grade boosting
Summarise the ways you might be asked to devise soundtrack:
- who would work it out with you and what different input would they have?
the editors, directors and the sound technicians, the reason it would be these people because they would want to know what was being recorded, but some would want it in different ways so some would have an over ruling decision which would probably be the director.
- who else would be involved?
the sound team would also be involved as they would be working along side recording and editing the sound.
- Explain terms such as 'spotting' and 'picture lock'.

Paramount Ident - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVUPUywkOmE
I really like the look of the paramount ident because the colours used are not to in you face. Also the way the different parts of the ident move as well makes it more interesting and gives me the idea i want to do something along the lines of how the stars move, they move on the z axis giving the viewer the illusion of a 3D effect, also the way that you do this is by making the object a 3d layer by ticking the 3d box.
Universal Ident - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7C93lxxS0A&list=PLAFDBC5699D4B5A1C
Like the paramount ident some elements move on the z axis, the elements that move on the z axis are the earth and the universal text moving around the earth. I don't think i will use this type of movement as it doesn't move quick enough away from the camera and it takes to long, in comparison for what i want to do.
Dreamworks Ident - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLfqiKYgdXM
At the end of the ident the dream works title moves towards the screen on the z axis, with the way it moves I would probably make it go the other way away front he screen so it looks like it has come rushing past the viewer.

Dreamworks Font - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLfqiKYgdXM
The dreamworks font is bold and has sharp edges, this draws the viewer in by making them concentrate on the text as they have to look at all the edges and sharp corners. it is quite a scary font but is eased of by the colours used, the colours attract a younger audience as well as a mature audience.
Universal Font - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7C93lxxS0A&list=PLAFDBC5699D4B5A1C
The font used for universal is a massive size and super bold type of font which draws all the attention to it, almost leaving a stamp in your mind of the company name and logo. this is a good way to make people remember the brand. I think i will make my ident bold and stand out whether it be through font or colour.
Columbia Pictures Font - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8rSqa7N2Dw
With the columbia pictures font it is really bold and bright with it being a little bit curved but still has some sharp edges which gives it a really professional look and gets the attention of the viewer.

Pixar colours - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWpglJL4KZk
with the background being light and the letters being dark i have decided this is what i am going to do for my ident, the light and shadow in the ident adds 2 extra colours tot he ident which draws your attention the what the lamp is doing which adds another important thing to remember and leaves it stamped in your mind.
These are my three ideas for my ident i have decided to go with design 2 as my final ident idea.
Colour and font choice for each design
Design 1
the colours used in my first ident design would be just a white background so everything would contrast it,t he wind strands would be a dark to mid blue, the tree would be a dark brown colour along with the text and everything else that comes into the logo.
for this design i would have used the font courier so it would give it a vintage feel to it.
once i have made the ident i would export it, then put it into final cut pro X and put a vintage filter on it.
Design 2
the second design i came up with would be completely white back ground with everything else being black apart from the flash to reveal the boy which would be a yellow flash but very faint.
the font used on the ident would be Didot as this is the font used for the logo of forest light pictures.
Design 3
the colours used in my last ident design would just be natural colours of an actual home as it would be real footage.

MGM colours - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PKpny46Q-U
The colours used in the MGM ident are really clever because all though there are only really two colours black and gold they are really effective, i think for my ident i will use maybe just two or three colours as it will be simple but can also be really effective just like the MGM ident.
1990 Disney colours - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmY4it0gS2s
with this disney ident it only uses three colours like the MGM ident, it is simple but very effective the blue and the white contrast each other really making the text stand out from the blue, but i think with my ident i will make the background a white colour and the text contrast it maybe a black or dark green colour.

Design 1
With the first element of the wind, I would pre-comp each individual strand of wind a make them move by moving keyframe on position and scale, also each strand is made up of different shapes so i can have full adjustability with each one. Once I have created about 7 strands of wind i will put them all in the same composition and lengthen them out to last 10 seconds.
With the tree in place I will place a camera and make all the layers 3D layers which give the illusion of it being real 3D, this will also allow me to make my composition canvas as big as I need it. The camera will be zoomed in on the wind strands then it will zoom out from them, i will do this by changing the wind strands scale t make them smaller looking like the camera zooms out. as it approaches the tree the camera will zoom out fully showing the whole logo and the wind will fly out to the right.
Design 2
This is the final design I used for my ident because i thought it was the most professional looking.
First it starts with each tree coming in individually, I did this by changing the position and scale of each tree at a different time. Once they have fallen into place the text starts to roll in by changing the same parts of position and scale as the trees. then a flash of light comes from behind the trees I did this by changing the keyframes on scale and opacity to get the desired effect.

Design 3
With this design i would start by just filming walking through a house then stop at a laptop on a coffee table and a tv on the wall in the kitchen then the 1st person character looks at his phone .
with all the elements that the character looks at I will motion track parts of different films i have made and then on the phone at the end it will have the forest light pictures logo. so i will ultimately matte the tv and computer screens and repave them.

Career Plan
JOB ROLE: DIRECTOR
My dream job would to become a director of film, and have my films released in cinema.
I have started my journey to my dream job by doing a level 3 course in Film and Television.
I will complete course this week hopefully leaving with a DDM which is leading me to my next step in my journey.
My next step is to progress from college and go to university, i have applied for 5 universities in total hearing back from all of them, decided that ports,mouth university was the best option for me. the grades i need for this university are DMM and i am hopefully i will leave with a DDM so aim well within the grade boundaries.
After university i hope to start in a company from the bottom, so my job would probably be a runner and work my way in the industry, i will move up in the company by showing flair and pushing my self to my limits and learning new skills from my older more experienced peers.
I may have to do a few courses on the way. also if i cant get a job in the industry i may go back to university and get a masters degree in film.

After Effects Cinema Text
In this lesson of after effects we learnt how to make cinema feel text. the first step was to add text and then centre it in the composition. once this had been done I chose the font style, size and colour. then changed the position and scale settings and by using keyframes, to make it look like it comes from the bottom of the screen and comes forward too. But as it comes up it slightly changed size where after effects has made an error with the keyframes, so i clicked on both of them and clicked keyframe interpolation and then changed the spatial interpolation to linear so it fixes the problem completely. Once this was done just duplicate the layer and change the text to the next part and makes all the text come and go to the centre of the screen.
