John Lewis Christmas Advertisement

Image
John Lewis famous Christmas adverts Each year around December (Christmas time) John Lewis releases a new advertisement celebrating the festive season whilst also promoting themselves and they even normally create there own little unique gimmick to go along with it, for example last year they created a little dragon plushie to go along with the dragon that they used in the advert making them popular Christmas adverts among children as well.  Each year there ads get more and more and even more popular due to there creative thinking and having the ability to think out side the box. After doing some extensive research I found out that the reason why John Lewis Christmas adverts are so popular and successful is because they are used to boost short term sales whilst keeping the brand image alive. This is due to the long standing rivalry John Lewis has had with Waitrose making them you could even go as far as saying forcing them to make really good Christmas adverts so that they won't los...

Introduction to professional practice in creative media production

Introduction to professional practice in creative media production 2.1 I have considered both the role of director and cinematographer. I have ultimately made a decision and ended up choosing the role of director due to the fact that the director has a very interesting and fascinating job which also happens to be among one if not the most important jobs in producing a film. The main role of the director is to be responsible for visualization the script and turning it into a film once it has been funded by a commission. They then get to decide with the producers on the different role heads for the production. A few examples of these would be an director of photography whose job it is to work with the director to make the production look the way it’s supposed to or an assistant director whose main responsibility is to assist the director through the pre-production phase onwards. However the director does so much more than just choose the heads of production and visualize the script. Th...

Lockdown Laughs comedy sketch show

I confirm that the attached portfolio is all of my own work and does not include any work completed by anyone but myself.  Lockdown Laughs comedy sketch show For this task I had to produce three episodes for a comedy sketch show AKA Lockdown Laughs. My role My role in all three of the comedy sketch's I made was Director and Script writer. Actors episode 1: Daniel Cooper, Dylan Pitt, Ethan Brown, Henry Walton, Iona Dixon, Michael Scott-Kaiser episode 2: Daniel Cooper, Henry Walton episode 3: Daniel Cooper Episode 1 For episode one I had chosen to create a sketch that had shown just how crazy lockdown was making everyone and I showed this through the over the top actions the characters were doing for example one scene had someone holding things upside down along with another scene where a character was cooking a shoe.  How it went? Sadly the first episode was a disaster due to only being used in the opening intro due to lack of footage. In my opinion it could of been better but ...

TikTok videos and music

 I confirm that the attached portfolio is all of my own work and does not include any work completed by anyone but myself. Today I created and edited my very first TikTok videos for an assignment. The assignment was to create two videos of me doing a job around the house and then edit them whether that be on editing software or TikTok, so i decided to video myself making a cup of tea whilst filming myself on TikTok because I found that TikTok is likely to be a lot quicker and affective due to the fact you can add different music and also the app has built in editing feature which made things quicker and easier.  This is one of the videos I made for the assignment.

Screenwriting

I confirm that the attached portfolio is all of my own work and does not include any work completed by anyone but myself.  Screenwriting 1. What is a screenplay? A screen play aka written script, is a written insight of a movie that is created before a while before the actual movie is shown. It is also the template for the director and the entire film crew to use whilst creating the production. 2. Who is responsible for the screenplay and who else may they collaborate with? The important responsibility for the screenplay falls down to the writer who in actual facts works very closely with the director and producers of the movie who they will meet with on quite a lot of occasions to discuss the screenplay. 3. When does the writing process end for the writer? In actual fact the writing process never truly ends for the writer. This is because during the production the script will go through numerous re-writes and even when it comes to a final script, a script is still never truly comp...

Copycat task

I confirm that the attached portfolio is all of my own work and does not include any work completed by anyone but myself. 1.Background research For my choice of movie scene, I chose to do the opening scene from The Godfather. The reason I chose to do this for the copycat task is due to the fact that the task asked me to recreate a dialogue scene from a movie and The Godfather was the one film that instantly came to mind because not only is it a famous movie but because it has some of the most famous pieces of dialogue.   It also happens to be one of the most interesting scenes in the movie due to the fact it shows how powerful one man can be if he can order things like murder without having to move out of his chair. That power really is kind of scary. However that's what the movie is basically about - how someone so powerful can lose it all so easily through a few mistakes. As for trivia, the movie was directed by Francis Ford Coppola, who, funnily enough, was actually born in ...
