35. annotated drafts (screen grabs)






As you can see on the left this is where i have just started to edit the ident and i have imported all the images onto the editing software, i have then put them in order so that it makes a stop animation video when played, however it is really slow.




As you can see on the left i have had to change the time of each image so that the animation will appear to be a lot, faster giving the image that it is like a real video.

once i have changed the time i have to add the first audio effect, as you can see it is just a small music clip to match the scenery, and it will only play till the next scene.
 As you can see i have now added a second music clip, this one however is a dramatic tune to match the rocket flying in space.
 Once i have added the music, i have to then add the sound effects, this is to make the ident more professional and more interesting, for example as you can see on the left i have added a sound effect to make the logo scene more dramatic
 As you can see on the left in this picture i am adding footsteps as a sound effect the reason for this is so that in the video when he is walking the is a sound to match it so it sounds and looks like he is walking.

 As you can see in this one i have added an airplane take off sound effect, i added it to match when the rocket takes off so it looks and sounds like it taking off.

Finally i added the forest sound this is to match the forest scenery at the beginning, to make more professional and make it not only look good but sound good as well, i then exported the video so i could place it on my blog.

Images of standard resolution captured at rates faster than normal (60 frames/second North America, 50 fps Europe), by a high-speed camera may be considered high-definition in some contexts. High-definition television (HDTV) provides a resolution that is substantially higher than that of standard-definition television.

A smart TV, sometimes referred to as connected TV or hybrid TV, it describes a trend of integration of the Internet and Web 2.0 features into television sets and set-top boxes, as well as the technological convergence between computers and television sets and set-top boxes. The devices have a higher focus on online interactive media, Internet TV, over-the-top content, as well as on-demand streaming media, and home networking access, with much less focus on the traditional broadcasting media that traditional television sets and set-top boxes offers. Similar to how the Internet, Web widgets, and software applications (in this context commonly just referred to as "apps") are integrated in modern smartphones, the name "smart TV" is akin to "smart phone", these are most usually installed on demand via an app store or app marketplace

In Depth Artist Case Study - Imagine Dragons

Imagine Dragons










Imagine Dragons are the artists of our first draft music video, the song 'radio active' was created by them.

Biography- 
                            For Imagine Dragons that means the brutal honesty and power of straight-ahead rock and roll interwoven with innovative backbeats,  basslines, and percussion. “We like making raw natural noises and keeping them raw and natural but transforming them into synthetic noises,” Sermon says. “We are gearheads. 

We do a lot of experimenting with percussion that’s electric and acoustic on top of each other.” Every band member except Reynolds attended Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music, and the technical skill and precision that comes with that education has impacted Imagine Dragons’ sound and process. “I’m a musician that goes by ear. And when you put those two types of people in a room together that’s when the magic happens,”.

- In my eyes Imagine dragons sing more of a alternative style of music, me and Harry decided to chose one of there songs as there songs / music videos would be very good to re create.

- Me and Harry are exited about choosing the 'imagine dragons' to create on of there music videos (as a fan of imagine dragons it should be rather fun), the only tricky part about re creating this music video will be to re create the special effects that are used, as we are only re creating the first minute this wont be a massive problem as there isn't many effects in the first minute.

Bel Heir









About Bel Heir -
Bel Heir is a project that has existed for over 6 years. It has had several other names and several other members in the past. They have finally reached a point where they can bring it to the public. The music created and presented has never felt more natural. 
They have spent countless hours in a studio outside of Philadelphia developing and perfecting the sound they were looking for. They created an enormous amount of material and finally decided to release it, but in a different manner than many are used to today.
They will be digitally releasing a single on the first Tuesday of every month for a full year. As with the traditional 45 vinyl releases, each single will have an A-side and B-side (2 tracks). 

- Me and Harry are using a remix of this song (just a gent remix), this is basically been edited to make the song sound different. Proximity is the artist of this remix, these people basically upload they remixes that they create of tons of music, the slogan is 'your favorite music you haven't heard yet', this is implying that they create music that you haven't heard before but also you have so its sort of strange, but that is the outrun of the artist that we are using for out music video.

filming permission



Filming Permission - Bromley Council

As we are filming our music video in bromley, we first need permission from the Bromley council to do so. 

 "If you know where you'd like to film, please make your application here. Bromley, along with most other London boroughs, uses a web-based film application process called FilmApp, designed to help both the film maker and the film officer."

"Set up the various locations you need one by one until you have entered all the locations. There is a fast track for small crews wanting GVs in many locations. And if you are intending to film driving shots from a moving vehicle, you can simply enter the route you intend to take.    Once you have agreed to the terms and conditions, and submitted your application, you will receive an acknowledgement by email. If the application is successful, your licence will follow. There may be a fee to pay if you are using a park or housing estate or other private land. To pay the fee, you will be able to use a WorldPay link, or if your company has a credit agreement, you can simply send a purchase order number."
Above can be found at 'https://www.filmapp.org/bromley/', and is how we got permission to film all over Bromley in the specific spots we needed to film in.
- To the right is the bromley page you need to find when you have done this, read through it so you know all of the points and terms and conditions, if you agree with them to proceed you can click ' make an enquiry' or 'apply to film', then the Bromley council will come back to you asking about when, were, etc,.

15. methods of recruitment


Methods Of Recruitment


Job centres - These are paid for by the government and are responsible for helping the unemployed find jobs or get training. They also provide a service for businesses needing to advertise a vacancy and are generally free to use.

Job advertisements - Advertisements are the most common form of external recruitment. They can be found in many places (local and national newspapers, notice boards, recruitment fairs) and should include some important information relating to the job (job title, pay package, location, job description, how to apply-either by CV or application form). Where a business chooses to advertise will depend on the cost of advertising and the coverage needed (i.e. how far away people will consider applying for the job.





Recruitment agency - Provides employers with details of suitable candidates for a vacancy and can sometimes be referred to as ‘head-hunters’. They work for a fee and often specialize in particular employment areas e.g. nursing, financial services, teacher recruitment.







Personal recommendation - Often referred to as ‘word of mouth’ and can be a recommendation from a colleague at work. A full assessment of the candidate is still needed however but potentially it saves on advertising cost.


Internet - Most companies will have their own website, where they will post up when they have a job vacancy. This is probably the best place to look for specific companies job and is probably quite easy to do if you don't have a specific job that you're looking for.



Internal Promotions - The assessment of an employer's current staff to ascertain if any current employees are sufficiently skilled or qualified to perform required job vacancies. When a business engages in internal recruitment, a current employee might be reassigned to the new position by giving them either a promotion or an internal transfer.


Massive, stage-set, and usually regular trade event at which a large number of manufactures from a particular industry present their products and show their capabilities to distributors, wholesalers, retailers and end-users.


Trade Fairs - Some trade fairs (like Hanover Book Fair) attract participants and visitors from all over the world and provide widespread interactions and exposure. Trade fairs are a popular means of sales promotion because their average cost of making a face to face contact is about 44 percent of a personal-sales visit. See also trade show.
