‘Go Capture’ - Film making /Video workshop
Ryan’s video workshop in the afternoon was very productive, resulting in my groups completion of our instructional video project in which we have to show how to set up a SONY V1 video camera. We experimented with close up shots to capture the actions, and the a table top format, similar to some of the organized imagery looked at in my Journeys project. I thought that this was a clear and informative way of showing all the key camera components and also provided as a good way of keeping continuity through the structure and editing of the video around these shot types. Overall I am happy with how the final video has turned out and feel that we captured a good style for this educational film. Along with another groups video, is actually being entered into a short film competition!
GOOD?NIGHT
Bottle Bulb concept
My final poster design created for the local Police raising awareness of excessive drinking.
In this design I focused on using recognizable symbology, eye catching colours and bold slogan like text to create a simple but memorable design.
I really enjoyed designing for a different kind of audience and also trying a different approach to communicate the message in an impactful way.
Refining the imagery by using simplistic vector shapes to illustrate key symbols (bottle,light bulb,question mark), and using a minimal range of contrasting colours symbolising the message and concept.. Red - warning/danger/bloodGreen- bottles/florescent light Blue - Neons/Night life
Developed another concept, I looked at combining symbolism and , I merged the similar characteristics (shape) of a light bulb with a glass beer bottle, I conveyed the message with imagery of smashed glass.. the smashed bottle symbolizing uncontrolled, wasted night, drunkenness and possible violence..& the smashed light bulb up-side-down symbolizing a bad idea and a ‘K.O’ knock out/’lights out’/death (the possible result of excessive drinking and drunken violence)
‘Good Times’ app - Drinking campaign research
The Good Times app is designed to help you enhance all the good bits of a night out while minimising the chances of the night turning bad, for example having too much to drink, losing your friends, getting into a fight or ending up without a ride home.
A typographic poster concept, I like the simplicity of this design, using the form of the statistics in a symbolic shape to communicate the message. Despite being smaller figures I thought that using these local stats would be a lot more effective to local viewers than large national numbers. The fact that these incidents happened only over two weekends at a local hospital would relate more to the viewer, giving the message real context bringing the facts home…
I looked at possible fonts, typogaphic poster designs and other ways of incorporating imagery into the information (photgraphic type)..more research pics after the jump….
