My video script

Script
Visuals














Hi my name is Jordan. Am 18 years old, I live in south London and am attending city of westminster college.



















So when I leave City of Westminster college I want to go to university to continue studying Tv and film or what ever other media related course I choose and then graduate to have my own job in the media industry.  It would be cool to work with a Tv company and have a freelance job at the same time helping out with films and special effects editing. 

I was born in London in 1992 in a hospital called Kings college hospital which is in Camberwell but my Grandparents are originally Jamaican. two things people may not know about me is I've got family over in America  and one of my mums great grand mothers was indian.
Am a really active person, I do parkour, I breakdance and cwalk and other dance styles in my spare time

First Ill start with a shot that pans up as i go into college. I will then get lots of different shots of  me walking around the college.





Ill have a medium close up shot of me sitting at the stairs at on the ground floor of the college






I will have a close up shot panning across the colleges sign at the entrance and then shots of me walking around college.




This shot will be a medium close up of me in a hall way.











Ill have some footage of me recording things in college from different shots and angles.




Ill have a medium shot of me sitting on a chair talking to the camera.






















Ill add a short video of me cwalking.

Video generated video definition

Video generated videos are basically amateur videos made by people who are not paid to make the video.  Pretty much all user generated videos get posted on the internet. Some user generated videos go viral and sometimes the creator of the video may benefit a lot from their efforts.

Video Analysis

Title of the video: Microsoft Xbox - Champagne 


This is the URL for this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQyx6PCd2F4&feature=player_embedded


What happens in the video: A pregnant woman gives birth to a baby which flies out of the hospital window and evolves into a man as he is fling. By the end of the advertisement he is old and falls out of the sky into a grave.


Who is the target audience: I think the target audience would be universal seeing as a lot of people play games nowadays. 


What digital platform did the video appear on: The video appeared on TV but can be found on youtube.


What is the purpose of the video: The purpose of this video is to get people to maybe purchase an Xbox and to encourage people to play more games before they die. 


Other technical aspects: You can here whats going on in the video but the sound quality is a bit poor. There are a lot of good shots in the beginning as the women is giving birth. I thought the special effects for the umbilical cored was poor. 

Video Analysis

Title of the video: John West Salmon "Bear Fight" ad

This is the URL for this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVS1UfCfxlU&feature=player_embedded

Other technical aspects: From the start of the video you here a voice over telling you what the bears are doing at the riverbank. As the man runs on to the shot the camera zooms in from a long shot to a medium shot of the bear and the man fighting with a bit of camera shake following the fight. The picture quality is a bit poor but the sound is clear and they even included sound effects for when the man punches and hits the bear.
