Interactive map - 1st Attempt

This is the 1st attempt at an interactive map that shows direction from the train station to the the 2 building that will be featured in my videoes. I have created these using Adobe after effects using the tutorials i found earlier that are featured in my blog. This was a rough try and will make the composition widescreen for use in the final video.

Galleries of Justice Directions:



Broadway Cinema Directions:



I made this using maps from google maps of the lace market area.

It looks simple to make but I feel this will give my videoes something extra and will be a good tool that people will find usefull.

Recce - Gallaries of Justice


Title Sequence for Gallaries of Justice

I have been given feedback on my title sequence and have been told that the timing of the first slide is slower than the rest , in addition the txt is a little small and is another size to the rest of the slides and needs to be made bigger.

Sound Booth - Voice Over Test

On Friday 11th March we booked the sound booth to learn and understand how to record our voice over. With no luck i might add. We spent 3 hours trying everything and still no sucess. Eventually we went to Owen and set a date were he could show us the processes needed to use the sound booth. The day wasnt a waste becuase we lernt all the ways of how NOT to set it up very fustrating.

Client Project - Script - Gallaries of Justice

VOICE OVER SCRIPT
GALLERIES OF JUSTICE
BY ABDUL SEEDAT

The Galleries of Justice Museum is a unique and historic building which provides the history of Crime and Punishment through access to its past and collections.

The Galleries of Justice are housed in the Shire Hall building, which stands in the Lace Market area of Nottingham.

Shire Hall and the surrounding buildings in which the Galleries of Justice is housed, were in use from the 1700' up to the mid 1980's.

In 1995 Shire Hall became a listed building and was converted into the National Museum of Law and the Galleries of Justice.

The venue is inspiring and breath-taking that holds two Victorian court rooms, a Police Station used until 1986, prison cells, exercise yard, the HM Prison Service Collection, temporary exhibitions and the brand new Convict Ship.

Nottingham's Old Shire Hall is one and rests upon the brow of the cliff descending down into and against the sandstone creating an unusual stronghold of courts, suites and the old County Gaol.

The Galleries of Justice Museum has something for everyone witha range of specially designed educational programmes as well as with non-mainstream groups and individual learners.

VOICE OVER SCRIPT
BROADWAY CIENMA
BY ABDUL SEEDAT

Broadway cinema is located in the historic lace market are of Nottingham and has been a stable pillar of the lace markets skyline.

The building has seen many incarnations first as Wesleyan Chapel. The chapel was originally open on the 2nd of December 1797. A larger chapel was erected in 1847 and stood firm till 1930 where the final service was held .

During the inter-war years the chapel's Sunday School and Boys’ Brigade company flourished. But by 1954 also faced the same fate. The building faced demolition in 1966.

Throughout its rice history the building saw many people walk through its doors non more than William Booth . Commemorated with a plaque in the foyer was the former apprentice pawnbroker.

Booth (a preacher) devoted his life to helping the poor. And in 1878, founding the Salvation Army.

By 1957 the newly formed Film Society took over the site and began running monthly screenings of international and archive films in the auditorium of the Co-operative Educational Centre. (1959).

On 22 September 1966 the Nottingham Film Theatre opened its doors to the public.
Broadway Cinema was born out this with support from the BFI, East Midlands Arts, Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council.

The building became the Broadway Cinema on 31 August 1989.

PRP - ARTEFACT 4




I have found some information on how to create a 3d video using two cameras.

Things i will need:

Two Cameras (preferably the same model)
3D Glasses
A Video Editor
a lot of patience

Steps

Get your two cameras, and make sure the lenses are 2-8 inches apart. (three works best, but the greater the more 3D effect). Using the camera mount that the university has.

Film whatever you want in 3D with both cameras.

Upload both videos into your video editor.

Make the left video have a red overlay. Make the right camera's video have a blue overlay. The result should be the same video, twice, in two colors, three inches apart.

Place both videos into your editor, on top of each other, so you can see them both at once. The result should be almost purple and you should have a somewhat "double-vision" look to it.

Export this video, and play it, while wearing those Red-Blue 3D glasses and it should work. If not, you should try experimenting with the settings.

If need be, switch the colors to darker or lighter shades. Maybe even try changing the distance of the lenses.

Make sure you can "Place both videos on top of each other" with whatever "simple" editing software you have.

I have found this information on http://www.3dstereo.com/


Research - Client project

These are some pictures and information i have found at the local library in Nottingham of the two building i will be producing videos for.
































Title sequence for Gallaries of justice

This is the first attempt to create a title sequence for the gallaries of justice. I feel it works weel becuase the theme of it matches the theme of the gallaries.
These are the files i used in after effects to create the title. I found the textures on google and the light effect i created the lighting efffect in photoshop.

Client project Update

I will be setting up a filming date with the Galleries of justice. To do this first will be carrying out a risk assessment. I will be doing this today which is the 11 of march. I will also draw up a detailed list of exactly what I want to record, what photos i will take and to let them know about this in advance.

I then show this to helen sheperd who is the contact. I will also show this to my tutor and the client to insure no problems occur becuase i am aware of the importance to galleries that I do not interrupt the experience for the visitor/tours during the recording process.

I will post this information onto my blog to show my eveidence and will email this information to the contact.

Artefact 4 - 3d video

Instead of using the tutrial to create a 3d image video . I will actually film using cameras to create a 3d effect. I will update my blog to show the processes of how to do this. First i will need to contact owen about the eqipment that will i will need to produce this.

I have chosen to do it in this way after consulting my tutor as well in conjuction with fellow students.

I have been aware that other students will be doing a similar project and inconjuction with them. We will set up a tutorial for us to learn and attept the processes needed to create a 3d video.

I will take pictures of the process we will use to show evidence. Which was one suggestion that came from my tutor.
