Helpful guideline for my media exam project

As i wrote in the post below i'm using the concept ideas and techniques to help give me a basis and guideline on how to structure and create my own video. The success of 'How To Be Ninja' and nigahiga's other video's on youtube have helped me come to the conclusion of how to make my video work as it has the humour that i'm looking for that i will apply to my video but it doesn't have the educational purposes that will be placed into mine. I believe that if the final video is based on the humour of the one above it will be good and could be recieved by an established audience if Amir does upload it onto youtube but it can also be used for media classes for years to come if successful.

Media exam based video

Because we've been learning lots of work in our media exam side with Mrs Pattinson, i had the idea of making a video (either in my free time or on the next assignment with Mr Earl) based on Mrs Pattinson's exam side. It will cover all features and aspects of media including:
  • Mise En Scene
  • Editing, Camera
  • Work/movement
  • Sound
  • Continuity
  • Represenation.
With the help of both Amir and Sean we aim to create a video that is humourous as well as educational. Hopefully we will gain further more camera experience as well as further expanding of our own knowledge of the features of the exam. At the current time i'm spending my free time preparing the script, scene and gathering the multiple costumes and props for the video. As soon as the script is finished i will upload it onto here and any guidance on the script will be accepted and also the script will need to be done to a decent standard if the video is to be of success as it is educational so we cant miss any key areas out. After the successes of 'How To Be Ninja' and 'How To Be Emo' on youtube i thought that the concept of my idea would be good and would be recieved by an already established audience as Amir wishes for it t be uploaded onto his youtube account. My plan is to cast someone who i've used before in my video's as i  found from other previous video's that they are suitable for the video as well as the fact that i trust both of them to be sensible, helpful and profession so that they suit the character im trying to portray or explain the view of it. As for adding in extra effects, the effects will be added into the scene about editing with help from Amir as he has good knowledge on both after effects and adobe premiere. Also music will be added into the sound scene to show the representation of the music and how it does it. All extra information and progression of the task will be uploaded onto here for both audience purposes but also reflective.

Me and Sean (Mainly sean) have thought of the idea of a man being on death row. We shall see a glimpse of the man at his death and play the scene in reverse to show previous events and to unfold how the man ended up there (like in the video above) Using the effect like this allows us both to learn and expand our knowledge on different ways of adapting clips and scenes but also to interpretate our own ideas of a good clip. Were currently undergoing our storyboard and plan for the clip so we will keep you posted on our progress :)
