All Star Music Concert featuring Don JeffJones & Wande Coal

 Right so mid October, I worked closely with an aspiring Afro-centric artist by the name of 'Don Jeff Jones'. He was nominated in the category of 'Best New comer' for the BEFFTA awards and I worked as his media support officer helping him advertise his music and his nomination.
I just started to make mini documentaries and decided to devise up a team of friends that would help productively put our Banter and Skills together to make fun ish =] S/O to the @CadBerryent lot.
Here's a video of me at the press conference for 'The All Star Music concert' where Don Jeff Jones performed. I was privileged to meet one of Afrobeat's biggest musicians Wande coal.
  

Waiting

I’m just perfecting this solo

Until we reunite

Distance makes the heart grow fonder

Distance makes the soul stronger

Strength grows independently

But Iz independence innate?

Well if not, this ‘expertise’ is

In Nae Te

It flows from me effortlessly

This wave of beauty

My goodness it doesn’t stop

It can’t stop

How can it stop?

When the soul is alive

The soul feeds off life

Life is a wonder

Wonders are mysteries

Mysteries never cease & Seasons change

Change is constant

It can’t stop

How can it stop

When the soul alive.

My soul wanders

Seeking the truth

But the truth is on a journey of its own

Focused on its path of righteousness...

Solo.

Not to B tainted

By my flaws

But I don’t want it to run away from Mi

I yearn for its companionship

But the truth is on a journey of its own

Focused on its path of righteousness

Solo

Not to B tainted

By my flaws

So I’ll just B here

Trying to perfect this solo

Until we reunite again

Introducing...DMU Square Mile :)

Hey Guys!
It's 'Mi' again lol but you can call Mi Bubblez.
I'm a student at De Montfort University and I study 'Advertising and Marketing Communications'.
I love doing doing all kinds of multi media projects on the side of university and charitable work. Volunteering with DMU Square Mile has given me the opportunity to creatively use my media, presenting and communication skills in a more structured and proffesional manner.
The projects they are involved with from charities to teaching are absolutely amazing and I felt so privileged to volunteer as Mark Charlton's 'Media Support Officer' for the #RaveTo100 campaign. The video I created is on the Square Mile site and I am really happy they were pleased and supported the production.
Currently I am volunteering to help out with the media aspect of the programme. I'm starting to make podcasts/interviews and mini documentaries of the DMU Square Mile's Projects.
I'm excited to crack on with these productions but mostly to learn more about educating and sentimental Programmes one could get involved with.
I think the DMU Square Mile Programme is a great opportunity for students to use their spare time at University to build themselves personally and use their qualities and traits to benefit themselves productively by benefitting others around them.
DMU Square Mile gives students the opportunity to use their free time at University productively. Students are able to volunteer however they comfortable to and can use their time to enhance any skills they want for future employment.
From communication, campaigns and charity...DMU Square Mile do it all.
I look forward to being more involved with the University Programme!
Here's the link of my coverage on the DMU Square Mile's #RaceTo1000 Campaign.

16.1.1

Introduction to editing 16.1.1

Editing is the process of selecting different shots to tell a story. There are different aspects to editing e.g. elliptical editing. Elliptical editing is when two images are put together to condense time. Different shots are put together that allows the story to continue quickly.

Long shots are used in editing to get the geography of the surrounding. This is an establishing shot that makes the viewer feel that you are in the production. Another feature used is ‘non-diagetic sound’. For example; dripping water is a natural  sound from the environment of a scene but there is a note of music playing quietly. We as the viewers can hear the music but the character cant.  This adds suspense to the scene. In the scene of a short film, a girl is picking up a ring. Even though the editor didn’t show her physically picking up thee ring, we know the character is picking up the ring because she looks down out of the frame, then there is a close-up of the ring. After there's a close-up again of her holding the ring. These condenses time down and is quicker for the audience to realize what has occurred.

An overhead establishing shot is when the director sets out space where the action occurs and so the audience can view the characters position in their area. It portrays the logistics of the scene so that we may understand the relationship between the characters. Shot-reverse shot is when the camera cuts back and forth from characters either in a conversation or type of interaction so that we can understand the characters. We as the viewers assume they are in conversation.

Another thing that is used is eye-line matching. This is when two characters look in a matching angle towards each other. For example if a character is looking off screen down right, the other character will look up left, out of frame. This creates the illusion of them looking at each other. The precise angle margined is within 30 degrees.  The camera cuts to the other individual members of the group to show their reaction.  To move  action to a different time and location, editors use a technique called “Wipe”. One style of wipe is disorienting the angle of the next setting. It could fit with a twisted genre of a piece.   Quick cuts keep the audience engaged and a fast tempo. This could build suspense.

Another feature used to add to suspense is changing the pace of the shots.  The number and frequency of scenes adds to tension. Shorter shots and more frequent shot selection contribute significantly. Pacing the editing condenses time and prevents the viewing from becoming long and boring.

Cross cutting condenses time between two scenarios. It’s when one character is shot then it moves to the next character. From a long shot to close-up, back and fourth. Reaction shots have the same effect. It cuts back to the other characters (audience) to show their reaction. This builds tension to a scene.  Due to drama, sequence and the storyline of a movie we don’t acknowledge the editing. Us as the viewers exceptions take over the construction. This is known as ‘seamless editing'. The shots that are pooled together make  you put a story together in our minds causing us to not be aware of the editing. A jump cut is a  moment of discontinuity in editing and a flashback is where a scene cuts to another scene of a characters moment in life in a non-linear order
