production meeting reflection 4

During this week, I had to contribute to the master script and make some more graphics for the live day that will happen next week. The reason why I had to make some more graphics for the show is because there was not enough for the show. I had to contribute to the master script because it wold help me to know what graphics need to be on the show.

This week I finished my section on the master script which was the graphics section. The difficulties that I faced this week was making sure the graphics cue were in the correct order, because I put the wrong graphics at the wrong part of the script.

I don't think there was a lot to change to the master script. I will need to make sure that I am prepared for the live day because I cannot afford to mess up. During this week I worked with the director in terms of where of where he wanted the graphics to be put on the screen.

Graphic Generator: Opening Sequence





I originally used the image above for the background of the opening sequence. The reason why I thought it would work is because of the speakers and the colours which are similar to those used in the ident and it also reflects the name of the show. However, once I started to used the background, it was difficult to see the ident against it as the colours were too similar. Therefore, I had to choose another background.

The background I used still reflects the colours that is used in the ident but also looks like flashing lights that is on a stage. I made the ident grow bigger each time a new celebrity came on to the screen. The reason why I did that is to reflect the idea of grabbing people's attention and making them listen. The reason why I chose these celebrities is because these celebrities are popular in the music industry at the moment. This would appeal to the younger audience.
























Production Meeting Reflection 3

During our production meeting, everyone was given the chance to say what they did this week. During this week my duty was to create an opening sequence in PowerPoint. The animation is on the speaker which gets larger each time.

My main technical difficulties this week was making the animation smooth as it did not always work. I overcome this problem by watching YouTube video on how to create animation using PowerPoint.

Another thing that happened in the Production Meeting is that I was told specifically by everyone to improve the animation by making it look smoother and choose a better background because the original one blended into too much with the logo. I found another one which is below.













I then made graphics for lots of different things in the show. This included names of music videos, features in the show and the names of the presenters. However I think that I will have to make a lot more graphics than just these so far, as there are certain graphics that will be needed during the show. I did not really work as part of a team because it was more of an individual task for me but I checked with the director, the VT operator and the vision mixer occasionally to see if they agreed with my ideas.

Next time I will work with the majority of the group to help make the master script for the show as I will be inputting my graphics script.
