A 3D software package allows the creation or manipulation of volumetric elements in a 3 dimensional cartesian driven coordinate space. In 3D, all shapes have space inside them occupying an area on the 3 axis availiable. In the 17th century, Rene Descartes made the concept of identifying the position of objects in a 3D space by using the 3 individual axis, Which are x,y, and z. X is the position in the scene, Y is the height in the scene, and Z is the depth in the scene. Most 3D software uses the axis by default, After effects and photoshop […]

Introduction to polygons
3D models are created using 3 components Vertices: a point in 3d space Edges: join 2 vertices together Faces: a closed set of edges Its best to use a quad polygon which is 4 sided and we sometimes use a triangular but we aim to use quads Cartesian Coordinate System Cartesian coordinates are named after the 17th century French philosopher and mathematician Rene Descartes. There is a (probably untrue) story that Descartes invented these coordinates while lying in bed watching a fly on the ceiling and wondering how to describe its location. Coordinates are used to locate a point in […]

Production Evaluation
Animation: What went well: Everything went to plan as I was able to make the animation on time. It’s not too long so my audience won’t get bored watching it and it is a nice introduction to my vlog. Also, it is themed the same, as shown on the posters on the walls, they are of roller coasters, furthermore, the two boys are talking about visiting Alton Towers so it fits in nicely. Even better if: I could try making my characters look slightly more different from each other, perhaps I could change the skin colour of one of them […]
Premier Pro Audio
There are plenty of types of audio in video editing: Music Diegetic: This is music, voices of characters or sounds of objects etc that the characters or actors can hear whilst film is happening. It is real life happening at the time ‘in-world (radio etc) Whilst filming my vlog I will have to talk at the theme park so this dialogue will be happening at the same time as filming the park. I can choose to keep this sound or I can remove it if it doesn’t sound good, but it was diegetically filmed at the same time as the […]
Vlog and Animation plans
There will be a short animation that will play at the start and then my vlog at Alton Towers will play afterwards. Animation: Plot: Ben and his friend watch some TV before coming across a vlog at Alton Towers Resort. It will have videos of my old animations playing on the TV, which are The Pencil Case and Flame of Oblivion. Animation script: Scene 1 Ben and his friend walk into a room Ben: I can’t wait to go to Alton Towers tomorrow! Friend: yeah, let’s watch some TV tonight! Both sit down on the sofa Scene 2: They turn […]
Case Study Research
For my case study, I have decided to analyse The Retrosquad advert by Alton Towers: The Retro Squad advert: I will try and use some of MIGRAINE to explain and analyse my case study: Colour key, I will use these colours when talking about each concept. Media Language Insitution Genre Representation Audience Ideologies Narratives Economics I have watched various documentaries, vlogs, and adverts for Alton Towers Resort. I have chosen the latest advert for the park made by Abancommercials to write about for my case study, It’s called The RetroSquad. I will be analysing the advert with key concepts of […]
Premiere Pro Transitions & Effects
Text & Transitions have become a staple of filmmaking, coming in many shapes & styles Text Often used in titles, credits or to establish info, they can either be subtle or impactful, the choice normally depending on their/the scene’s context This would be useful for my vlog because I can place subtitles on my video that describe things about the rides and other things about the park. Transitions Eases the viewer from one scene (or shot) to the next, they can be straightforward and relatively normal, or more meaningful for the shot (Edgar Wright) or audience (Star Wars) There are […]
Target Audience
Target Audience It is important to have a target audience when you want to promote something. It is better to focus on a smaller audience that already has an interest in what you are trying to promote. In my case, a Vlog (hopefully) I will narrow my focus to people that are already interested in theme parks culture. This way my marketing ideas will be more effective and more cost-effective, as you are only marketing to a set number of people. To choose my target audience, I can look at the demographics and psychographics of that group of people and […]
