During filming, DoPs also work closely with the Gaffer (whose lighting team are key to helping create the required look of the film), the Production Designer, Costume Designer, and the Hair and Make Up Department.

Training and qualifications

Stills photography provides a good all round understanding of composition and light. The National Film and Television School's MA in Cinematography provides the opportunity to specialise, and is taught by practising DoPs. Although DoPs do not need to have electrical qualifications, they do need to understand the functions of a variety of lighting equipment, and to have thorough knowledge of cameras, lenses and film stocks. They may have previously studied Drama, Stills Photography, or Art, or taken a Film/Media Studies degree, where useful research skills are also developed.

Relevant industry experience is essential.  A full driving licence is useful.


Individual course accreditation in certain subject areas is currently being piloted. As part of Skillset's and the UK Film Council's Film Skills Strategy, A Bigger Future, a network of Screen Academies and a Film Business Academy have been approved as centres of excellence in education and training for film.

Preparing To Edit

To find your work that you want to import, you have to go on-> File,Import,Folder. Afterwards a folder will come up and were ever you have saved your work you have to find it and click OK.

If you are starting a new project you have to go on File->New Project and then a folder will come up so all you have do is find your work, However always make sure that you save you work in a place that you could find it.

While you editing you have a lot of audio,pictures etc which can always be confusing, however with Final Cut Pro you can always create a little folder for example you can make a folder with ''AUDIO or EFFECTS'' and much more. You just right click and click on New Bin then you can name it whatever suites you.

                       

     If you are worried about if anythink is not right or isnt working dont be because on final cut pro you can always check. e.g. Click audio, click the audio you wanna check, then if its ticked that means its working and everything if fine.

Claymation

Claymation is one of many forms of stop motion animation. Everything that is animated e.g character or background is ''deformable'' is usually made from Plasticine clay. Animation from all around the world is produced in a similar fashion, whether done through cel animation or stop motion. Each from, or still picture that is recorded on film or digital media and then played back in rapid succession. When they play it back at a frame rate greater than 10-12 frames per second, a fairly cononvincing illusion of continuous motion is achieved.


Claymation is always fun and enjoyable if you do it the right way. For you to do it the right way you need to have some clay to make into the shape you want. Its always better to work with a partner because it always makes it easier.
For this task we had make a Morph, which was really fun but hard at the same time because the clay was really hard to put into shape so we had to wait until it melted. As I was creating my Morph it was mostly hard to make the hands and the legs because if they wasn't in the right shape they Morph wouldn't stand.
We had to create a little scene, which I found really cool because I have never done something like this before The scene was about anti-bullying. It just basically shows how people get bullied on the street and what it can course. We used Icon on a Mac computer to create the movements of the clay moulds and we also edited it on FINAL CUT PRO. With FINAL CUT PRO you can add Effects,audio and a lot more just that whatever you are creating will come out perfect.

CWC IDENT

              City Of Westminster Channel Ident Evalution


For are task we had to make a channel ident for City Of Westminster College.
Firstly, we had to get into groups of three. In are groups we had to come up with 4 ideas and put are ideas in mind maps.
At first we found it kinda hard to come up with ideas because we was always thinking how could we make it work however, at the end we shared are ideas and put them together which worked out really well because we had four ideas that where really good and we knew that we can create each of them.


After we decided which idea we was gonna do, we had to make a video pitch of the overall concept. We did find it abet difficult to choose one idea because we really like all of them. We choose idea One because we thought it would be more creative and it would also attract the audience more. The idea was at the start of advert a book would come with the City Of Westminster College building then the pages would flick with different pictures and next to the pictures you would see information about the college at the end of the Ident everything plays back very fast. We used Cut-out Animation and we used Claymation. We went around the college taking different pictures of differemt aparments around. In the Ident we used a little man that we made out of Clay he basically guided the whole Ident.


We got feedback from a few people that watched it, the feedback we got was really good. People said that it was very creative and the music went really well and also the little clay man was a good idea. However in my opinion I think that next time we could do a better finishing and we could also try and get rid of the shadows. As a group we managed to fulfill all the aspects of the brief because the Ident is 35 seconds long. It showed why City Of Westminster could change there future and why it would be best for them which for us as a group was the main part because its important that if your doing and Ident about Welcoming people to a place its important that you always show and say ''why would that place be the best for them''.
We also used the original logo of City Of Westminster College.


Overall, I am mostly proud of that we worked really well and stock together as a group. I really enjoyed this project because we could share are ideas with a lot of people. I enjoyed going around the college taking pictures and also making the little clay man, However I mostly enjoyed that part when we was putting the Ident together because it was getting better step by step.

Eadweard Muybridge

Eadwaerd Jame Muybridge was a British Photographer who was born on the 9th of April 1830 in Kingston upon Thames.Eadweard spent most of his life working in California and also traveling in other parts of the United states. He is mostly know for his pioneering work onanimal locomotion in 1877 and 1878 which used multiple cameras to caputer motion in stop-action photographs and his zoopraxiscope.

Animation

Channel Idents

E4 is a channel on British TV. E4 is launched as a pay-TV compain to channel 4 on 18 january 2001. A lot of people wonder what the ''E'' stands for, as I was researching about E4 I found that it stands for ''Entertainment''. E4 has a lot of entertaining shows such as, The Big Bang Theory,The Inbetweeners and a lot more. The E4 ident Front room is an amazing ident has a lot of the animation comes to life and at the same time it is funny. The ident is really attractive and energetic. It is also colourfull however, E4 never forgets there main colour ''Purple'' that is used in all there idents which shoows that E4 always keep there viewers happy. E4 target audience is aimed at 15-35 age group.

channel 4 is a British public-service television broadcaster which began tranmission on 2 November 1982. Channel 4 was one of the first ''publisher broadcaster'' stations in the world. Channel 4 shows series such as Simpsons,The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother and much more. All of these are Comedy,Film,Entertainment and Movies.

Channel idents have a lot in common. As you all know most idents are about 10-15seconds long this is because the viewers waiting for there program to start can get bored easily. All channels have a main color that will be used at all times for advertising.idents also represent a particular channel, so each channel will have there own individual ident.

E.g: E4 is know for there purple E4 and there purple background.

Channels have idents to make there channel be know/published all around the world. Channel Idents can also be used to attrackt viwers and also to get as much viewers as they can. On E4 before something starts they always have an ident before it in purple which can attract a lot of viewers and show have creative E4 is.
