P4-UNIT 3 RESUBMISSION

Production materials for Strayed Above 


A photo of me filming a scene for the opening sequence where I had to film the ceiling while moving on a chair.

Here are photos of me filming certain scenes for our final product. The first picture on the left is a photo of me using a chair for a tracking/dolly shot of the ceiling for our opening sequence. I had to move slowly to get the shot of the ceiling moving in a straight line as this is in the storyboard a tracking dolly shot is mentioned and to avoid the of damage equipment or bumping into stuff a spotter who was in front of me watching out for me and steering me in the right direction to get the shot. The spotter prevents me from injury since I am looking up with the camera I need someone to look for objects in front of me and tell me to stop to avoid the risk of bumping into an object or person  which can cause an injury to me or can cause me to drop the camera. This adheres to our risk assessment of object falling/or moving as we have to be aware of our surroundings to not cause damage towards the equipment. As well as sharp object that I can bump into when filming this shot as I can walk into a table or an object that i'n not aware of so the spotter is there to ensure my safety looking out for the risks.
Other risks that we did not plan for which came up during filming was the tight space of equipment caused requiring certain shots to be filmed differently due to the lack of space and risk hazards. Cables that were hanging from the lighting equipment caused trip hazards that needed to be looked out for or taped down for safety reasons. 

In the middle is a shot of me capturing some shots of the spaceship for it to be keyed out for the final product. The stool was green and also the wall behind the stool. To make the background is visible so the keying process would be easier. We followed our sketch panels and placed the products safely down and kept an eye on each other to avoid the sharp and jagged area of the ship cutting us. 

The third photo is me using the after effects software to apply my visual effects to the footage we shot earlier. to avoid straining of the eyes frequent breaks were taken as this is a hazard within our risk assessment.  

The 4th photo is me filming Abu Taher character Kyle black for a reference on how Captain Crain shot should look like when it should be filmed and setting up the shot or showcasing how it should look like when filmed. This was done to save time for my shot as I was the director of this shot the floor was checked for trip hazards this is mentioned within our risk assessment so safety measures are taken for the crew and actors can not injure themselves as well as the damaging if the equipment. 

The music was sourced from free-stock-music.com. This music gave a good Sci-fi feel to the teaser scene. It has a futuristic vibe and when was edited together fit well with the product. The music is also royalty free along as we give credit to the original creator of the music. If the music was not copyright free and used without permission this could affect the production as we are stealing someone work for our own. Finding the music was a tough challenge as many music tracks when searching didn’t have the right feel towards our story.  

 Below is a video evidence on a piece of footage we filmed and a rushes of shot within the final product. as well next to the rushes are it compared towards the storyboard.

How meaning is created in Strayed Above The final media product is in line with client brief due to the visual and special effects. The visual effects applied which include creating a mask path around screens , windows as well as compositing footage to fit within a certain scale. The visual effects show the damage of the  infrastructure to the spaceship as the screens in the spaceship go dark or down meaning the signal has been lost or damaged as before it was working fine before the explosion. The special effects makeup used within the teaser scene as well show how the explosion of the ship has affected crew members such as Kyle Black and in which shows how life is on board the spaceship as communication systems have stopped working and the crew have taken damage. The visual effects also create a sense of realism towards the final product as the visual effects display different space scenes and mask over windows to give the illusion that the characters are in space as we se...

Resolving Legal and Ethical issues When creating this product legal and ethical issues have to be considered for. Such as the music for the show we cannot take a music track which is not royalty free as this is illegal. This will cause complications for the product which might halt the time of production and also might not be able to even screen the show if copyrighted music is heard without the use of a license. The plot and the story of the show can’t be taken from another SCI-FI show as well as this will be just copying ideas and would be stealing another IP’s content for our gain so we should be able to research and create our own ideas for the show while including the brief which was given towards us. The ethical issues that may arise is the use of our makeup since one of our actors is Muslim the use of proper gelatine will go against his beliefs and wouldn’t be allowed so a substitute gelatine will have to be used when creating our special effects. When c...
