Cast and Crew members - the roles I've been.
Roles I've been;
Cast (acting)
Producer
When i was the cast for the first show - Jeremy kyle, I was Jeremy and it was really hard trying to do everything right, because not only have you got to be on stage in front of loads of people but you have to help the director/producer and a lot of other people, i found it really hard especially being the head of the cast, it was like being a host, i enjoyed it though. It was very stressful as the Director was telling me one thing and the Producer was telling me another thing, that was our first show and everyone was just getting used to their roles so it was very very stressful! I think we could've done better in this if people knew what their roles/jobs were and what they had to do, i also think it could've done better if people would just stick to their job and stop trying to take other peoples jobs and if we had more time to rehearse.
I was cast on all of the other shows, i found this easier as people knew what they were doing and i knew how to help and what i could do to help.
I was the producer on the last show, i found this quite hard as i have never been a producer before but i had watched other people being a producer before so i had a brief idea. When being a producer you have to organise everything and make sure everything and everyone is in place, you also have to work with the director as you could both get mixed up and be telling people different things.
Music Presentation
Presentation Notes
This is my presentation video, I'm going to talk about how editing techniques have changed and developed over time, the first editing technique that I'm going to talk about is the montage - invented by Sergei Eisenstein, he is well known as the 'Father of Montage'. Montage is the technique of selecting, editing and piecing together separate sections of film to form a continuous whole.
I have examples of modern and older montage on the next slide.
The older montage is Eisenstein's first film, the shots are much longer and pace is very slow compared to modern montage nowadays.
The modern montage is quantum of solace, the shots are much fast as well as the face, in the modern one you can't really see the shots changing because of how fast the pace is, but in the older one you can see them because the shots are so long.
Primitive editing;
Discovered that editing shots into a sequence not only contributed to the audiences sense of tale but also enabled them to tell more complex stories as a result. You can see primitive editing in films like the great train robbery, in early times the cuts were made in the camera, the camera man would just stop cranking at the exact end of a shot and begin cranking again at the start of another shot, when the camera was moved elsewhere or when something else was put in front of it.This kind of editing could allow for some early special effects. In movies he is making at the turn of the century, Georges Méliès stops the camera after detonating a magic puff of smoke in front of his actor, then begins the camera again after the actor has left the stage, making it seem as if the actor has magically vanished.
D.W Griffiths contribution to editing was though he did not invent any of the editing techniques he used but he made them emotionally significant. He influenced people worldwide in the art of editing, the Moscow film school of the 1920s ha played Griffiths intolerance over and over again to its students in order to use Griffiths techniques.
Even in an era of incredibly advanced special effects, some filmmakers are still enamoured of the photographic realism in sustained shots. Perhaps the most conspicuous is Jim Jarmusch, who will hold his camera on his subjects for an agonizingly hilarious amount of time.
But the past 20 or so years has also seen the rise of "digital editing" (also called nonlinear editing), which makes any kind of editing easier. The notion of editing film on video originated when films were transferred to video for television viewing. Then filmmakers used video to edit their work more quickly and less expensively than they could on film. The task of cleanly splicing together video clips was then taken over by computers using advanced graphics programs that could then also perform various special effects functions. Finally, computers convert digital images back into film or video. These digital cuts are a very far cry from Méliè's editing in the camera.

Proposal - Rise Up - Music Video
Proposal - Yves Larock Rise Up
Dear Sir or Madame,
I am writing to propose a music video which is performance based, concept based and narrative based. In this music video there will be a lot of views and sights, there will be dancers performing and there will be a mystery man with no identity until the end, i have explained the beginning, middle and end in more detail in my synopsis -
Synopsis - Rise Up
We chose Yves Larock - Rise up because it was different to the people in our class, the shots i chose for my music video will relate to the lyrics so that the lyrics match the visuals, i was thinking about what i could put in the video and i came up with loads of different idea. The music video is going to be performance, concept and narrative based.
Performance Based - Im going to have dancers performing in the music video, this will not be the whole music video it will only feature in the music video for a bit but it will keep flipping back to the dancers when the lyrics match the visuals.
Concept Based - Im going to have a man that has no identity, he is going to be dressed up and hidden from the audience, the audience will not find out who he is to the end, so it makes the music video more intriguing.
Narrative Based - The story is about insecurity and about the man building his confidence and courage to be himself and not care what anyone thinks of him, i chose this story because its different to the actual music video done by Yves Larock, and i like the idea of the man having no identity, it makes the whole thing more interesting.
Beginning - The beginning will be shots of many views and sights, there will also be a tracking shot of the sights you see on a train home. There will also be a shot of the mystery man on a field, this will be the first shot you see of him. I wanted to put views and sights into my music video because the lyrics say ' Rise up' so i had the idea of the camera facing a nice sunset on a field and then rising up as the lyrics say that, so that they match.
Middle - The middle is going to be the dancers performing down Southend's seafront next to the fountains so we have a nice background for it, you will also see another shot of the mystery man so that the audience knows he's important.
End - The end is going to be a big celebration for all the dancers and party people, this bit will feature the man gaining enough confidence and courage to show his identity and coming out as a person.
