I was asked by Darren on behalf of MAPA to edit the Christmas lights video including live performance's and interviews with the artists. i have included my own music and other effects on certain clips to keep the audience entertained. This will be used in a screening to all the MAPA team and students. It took a far amount of time as the raw footage i was given was around twenty two minutes long and i had to condense this to under ten minutes, this made me come in on days off which i enjoyed as i put my own style to it, also felt like a professional task.
They wanted a YouTube type video for a showing to all the students and everyone who was involved in the Christmas lights performances which was a lot of people so i had to screen shot pictures of the footage and send to the music department to find out the names of the students and team involved. Also they wanted a mix between live performances and interviews to mix it up and make sure everyone was featured. It took a little longer than expected to complete as max the head of MAPA kept throwing ideas around for me to include which was a good thing as this kept me on my toes and made sure i had the film up to his expectations.
I have got good feed back from the video, this was a great feeling as i had put in some of my own comedy effects which would either float or sink.

Black Box
We have just created a 5 episode series based on a plane, going from comedy to musical.
i have learned that time is key and organization is the most important thing to insure a good production as you need to know what everyone is doing and how and when there doing it! i was involved in editing, acting and writing, i learned that its hard work and you need control over your whole team, this is vital to get a good vibe within the production and to make sure you get all the right shots. this is the first episode were i was the editor, i felt i did a pretty good job would have loved to have spent more time on the edit as i was against the clock also felt there were better shots which we could have made the clip more intense. I also created the music using logic pro.
Episode 1 Consequences
i have learned from this episode especially that with the right actors and time we have the ability as a group to create a tense atmosphere and make a near professional production.
Episode 2 Plane Strangers
In this episode i helped with cameras and also acted, this one was well organized as
the people acting learn't there words before we started filming also we had all the props (nuts,bottle of water) bought and ready for when we started filming.
Episode 3 Crew
In this episode i was the The actor Joe and helped out apart from that i wasn't included in the production.
Episode 4: Empty
again in this one i helped out with the acting and the some of the camera work.
Episode 5: 5
In this one i was the co writer with Duncan we didn't have much time to write so we tried to keep it simple as we could and just include classic puns through out with a strict sense of comedy. i have learn't you need time to write a decent script and make sure have the right actors to do the job.
