Web series development
- 1. Web Series Development Diary Harry Adkins-Pennington
- 2. Planning
- 3. Mind Map I created a mind map going into detail on how my project will go, who might be helping me work on it and what I will need to do • I have only gotten a few strengths and weaknesses because I was mostly focusing on my ideas, but I will work on them during the planning section of the project
- 4. Mood Board This is a mood board that is filled with images that are linked to my factual project • The images of studios are to show how I wish to show the audience how my team and me created the new show • The interview style images are to show how I want to show the interview sections of my video • The parody images are to show that for my video, I will be using parodies to show different aspects of the games I am comparing • I wish I made some annotations so there is more detail and reasonings to why I have added the images to my mood board
- 5. Mood Board Analysis This is my mood board analysis which allowed me to put in more detail on why I have chosen the images for my mood board and how they influence my project • I could only add a few points since I spent more time adding multiple images and I was planning on doing annotations that go into detail on why I chose each image and how it relates to my project
- 6. Resources This is my resources table that reminds me of what equipment I'll need and where I will need them • I plan on going into detail to why I needed each piece of equipment and why I needed to use them in the locations
- 7. Story Board 1 This is the first version of my story board which shows what scene and shot is there, how they will be shot and what the intentions of those scenes and shots • I need to add more detail for the rest of the shots • I plan on making the shots more interesting to show, along with the description, what is needed for that specific shot • I planned on doing some annotation for the shots to further explain why I chose those shots and what needs to be in focus
- 8. Contingency Planning This is my contingency planning table; this allows me to know what to do in case any issues arise during production. • I plan on adding more potential issues and how they can be avoided to
- 9. Health and Safety This is my health and safety table which allows me to know what to do in case there is any health issues during production • I plan on adding more issues and how to avoid them so then if any of these issues occur during production, I know what to do and how to avoid them in the future • I added the obvious ones that are most likely to occur during production because during other projects, they have arisen before and I didn't know how to avoid the issue
- 10. Story Board 2 This is a second version of my story board • I added more detail on how each shot will be created • I wish I had added more shots because it allowed me to add more detail to my project; I didn’t originally because I thought that every piece I created was for specific scenes and not every shot
- 11. InterviewQuestions and Answers These are the questions and answers for the interview so my team and I can remember what the interviewer needs to ask and what our answers could be • I chose three questions because I wanted to make sure that I go into enough detail on each question and I didn't want so many that it makes the video longer than it needs to be
- 12. Shot List This is my shot list for my video which roughly tells me what to do for most of the shot. • The shot numbers allow me to remember which shot has what requirements • The shot types allow me to know how each shot needs to be shot like medium shot at eye level • The audio helps me know what kind of audio is going to be part of the shot like a voice over • The subject allows my cameraman to know what they need to focus on for the shot • The description of the shot allows me and the cameraman to know more about how the shot goes, who/what to focus on and for how long
- 13. Actual Project *1 This is my first version of my project • I created subtitles for the interview sections of video however I plan on changing the font of them from Celtic Black to something more simple and easier to read like Ariel because Celtic Black is better used for the first letter in a word rather than the whole word itself • Using Photoshop, I created a small animation where the word "fight" appears in the background using a swipe transition; I chose to do this because it is easier and faster to do the animation this way rather than create more hassle trying to do a more complicated animation
- 14. Actual Project *2 This is the second version of my project • I was originally planning on removing the text at the end of the news clip so I can add my own news segment into the intro however this proved challenging and I didn't have much time, so I am planning on changing the intro to something shorter and easier to edit • I have added some royalty free music called "High Octane" that I plan to add to the parody section of the video
- 15. Actual Project *3 This is my third version of my project • I have changed the news intro to a shorter, simpler version because it allows me to still have a news intro without having to edit anything • I have added a few recorded clips from the interview and behind the scenes footage, so I know that they are there and where to place them once I have the rest of the video clips • I have removed Will's subtitle because it is much easier and faster to not have him during the interview sections of the video
- 16. Script This is my first version of my script • I originally had sections for an interviewer, but I chose to remove it since it makes the project easier to create • I plan on adding music ques to the script so I remember where the music is supposed to be added during the video
- 17. Actual Project *4 This is my final version of my project • I removed some clips of Harry Borwell nodding because originally, I had planned on adding them to the clip to make it closer to an interview with Harry being the interviewer but once I got all my clips ready, those parts didn't fit as they would end up just appearing out of nowhere for no reason • I added images of the box art for two Mortal Kombat games and placed them, so they are above my hands as if I am presenting them; I chose to do this because it makes the video slightly more professional, but it also allowed me • I had to reduce the white noise from the video which randomly appeared when recording the interview sections which caused me to use new techniques that I have never used before in order to reduce them by a bit; however I missed on clip that still had the white noise
