Ncik's Hw: The importance of coverage and cut-aways

Coverage:

A coverage is the size of an image that a lense is able to produce when shooting a scene.

This is important because, if you're shooting something to be played on a big screen like a cinema then you will need a big "coverage" otherwise the scene will be coming pixelated and look really erm crappy :)

Cut-away:

A cut-away is where in scene a sequence of normally continuous action is inserted into the footage. This normally happens when a character makes a statement of some sort and then the "cut-away" begins. After which we then return to the scene when the character had said this.


The importance of this is that it in a way tells another part of the story. Ok so it's action and there isn't much of a storyline to it, but there generally is a lot of emotion going on at this present time. And it also keeps us interested in what we are watching

Lego Starsky And Hutch

The main thing we'll need to do this is the red white and car. Because that's the main symbol of the program.

We will only be making the first 20-25 seconds of the the title sequence due to the fact that it changed after that every series.

London Underground Tube Task

Yesterday in class we were given the task of "reconstructing" the London Underground Tube map.

By reconstructing I mean, replacing all the station names and tube lines with something else, something that will make the map a little bit more entertaining. We have been given the category of TV Drama to work with. Another reason behind doing this, is that it makes the map easier to read, seeing how stations connect with the diffferent categories and sub-genres of Tv drama. Means that people can understand better what line goes to what station and so forth.

We used King's Cross as our starting pint. (Deciding to start in the middle and work our way out).

For King's cross we used Eastenders which is a soap opera. Using Eastenders means we can branch of with other categories relativly easy making our life easier and for people who will use the map (hopefully).
