Main character: Logan

Treatment:

The beginning of the story starts with a sequence and montage of black and white footage showing scenes of Logan and his ex-girlfriends all ending in a dissapointing manner.
We here a repeating sentence in an echoeing manner that he mentions to all of his ex's: "don't go, I can make this better, just give it time."

Escalating noise that flashes out into white and then a first person camera shot of Logan waking up and getting out of his bed.

Camera switches to first person and eyeline match occurs with pictures of several of his ex's on his desk. Camera goes back on him and he nods his head.

A fade out transitions us to the next morning and Logan has a happier expression because he knows who he going to see that day.

By walking out of the frame a sweeping transition brings us to a hang out in Jamba Juice. Logan sits down and starts drinking his smoothie and while time passes the majority of his friends leave and he leans in to Marie and asks her: "do you want to hang out with me later tomorrow and watch the sunset?"
The camera moves in on her and she says "sure, i'd love to, but i got to go so ill see you tomorrow then?" logan than nods his head in approval.

Logan get a phone call that says his job interview was moved to tomorrow.
Logan gets a really unhappy look on his face because it was set up close to a late time.

When he arrives at the interview all he can hear is a clock rumbling. He stares around the room and is shaking his leg.

After the interview is over, he arrives home and he is walking to the front of the house when his car suddenly breaks down. Smoke is coming out of the front of the car and he exclaims "crap!"

Tight framing is focused on Logan when he is making a phone call to a mechanic.
Camera does a trucking shot of a car passing by.

In slow motion we see the driver and its his ex girlfriend.

She stops the car and parks and comes over to Logan but Logan starts running away because he knows how crazy she is.

The ex girlfiend starts running after him.

Logan loses her after a while and then ends up running into the meeting place that he set up with Marie.

Logan sees Marie and starts walkign towards her.

Marie turns her head and smiles. She stands up and starts meeting him halfway.

They join hands together, very intimate eye exchange, there about to kiss when...

The crazy ex girlfriend shows up and interrupts by saying: "Logan!"

Logan turns towards the crazy ex then we see the crazy ex with googling eyes

Logan faces directly at the camera and says:"fuck!" but with a cencorship.

Broadcast Critiques

During class Mr. Bigue asked us to brainstorm ideas for a broadcast segment around school and someone voiced the idea of new teachers. I decided to mark on the board that Elizabeth and I would do the segment on new teachers. The simple research involved for this was very easy. In the class room there was "the master chart" which had the list of all the teachers and their schedules during the day. Izzy (the teacher assistant) highlighted for us the new teachers. I contacted the teachers through schoolloop mail and wee then later interviewed them about general questions of what they though of cap and what they expected in general. The shots I envisioned were slow zoom ins like in the documentaries (did not work so well - could not use the shot).

The location chosen for the background of the shot was intended for a book shelf or white board while the middle ground would be the teacher and the foreground their desk. The quality of the B-Roll is somewhat poor in my opinion because they were very basic and still with not enough motion to add some "pizzaz." I believe that the most creative shot was with Mr. Connelly B-Roll as it zooms in quickly and pans with his motion creating dynamic imagery. Camera moves were smooth consequently taking away from the exitement of new teachers. I did try to alligne the character with the z-axis. Something I ignore most of the time is the lighting and never felt like I had the time due to small time frames that are available. The audio was fine and by filming with an HD camera I had to adjust the audio levels to -12 on both sides of the bars in final cut. 

My voice over introduced the new teachers simply by saying a new school year deserves new teachers. By incorporating the word "new" it is often a trigger word to catch anyones attention. The segment was informative because I was able to provide the information discussing who they are, where they came from, what they teach, how long have they been teaching, and what they think of education in general. The final thought I wanted for the viewers to notice was that these teachers are ready and capable of educating the young minds of today. 

The B-Roll reflects the audio and its not hard to find variety since there is not that much in the first place: school, education, etc.. The graphics and titling involved a purple strip alongside the lower half of the shot and with a short description of the teacher presented. There was one montage of B-Roll footage and that was a freeze frame of each teacher appearing one after the other and the beginning of the sequence. 

The thing I like about this piece was the information provided by the teachers, it was solid information that the students could appreciate. If I had more time I would spend more time on lighting and set up a better interviewing position because some shots looked to busy. The most important lesson here is time is critical.

Character In Time

This man looks like he has fun, no? His room is somewhat creative, I bet his friends help add to his pile of entropy. The person you see here is very naive, although he is eager to try out new things he is very stupid and is poor in making the right decisions.

Brad (our character in the picture) is very keen on impressing people and wanting attention from them. Brad is able to do this through the internet and by posting pictures of himself online he knows for a fact that people are seeing him every day. As you can imagine this could put a dent in your study time. On top of going to work every day to be able to pay for college Brad is somewhat of an idiot meaning he spends extra time at the books than others normally would.

Treatment:

During the 21st century anything is possible with todays modern technology and today Brad has moved into his new college dorm at University of California Santa Barbara. As an eager freshman he wants to be able to impress his teachers and upper class man.

It is the first day of school and he has already been able to get a gig with the UCSB paper. He was formally invited by the seniors (by chance) to come and take funny random pictures for a column in the paper.

During his interview with the seniors to see if he was capable for the job he was speculating to much about the fact of how he is going to create interesting pictures for a paper.

(Camera is slowly moving in on his face while you hear an interior monologue.)

While going on facebook he realizes that with the camera next to him and several different props in his room he could with no problem do his duty and justice to the paper he was apart of.

A montage of pictures of him in different assortments and mixtures of props are made and just as he is about to look at the pictures he made he realizes that one of his pictures is similar to a picture of his grand-dad.

(When he notices the picture the camera will slow motion while he is turning his head or eyes opening in shock.)

His grand dad was a soldier that had to fight in the middle of toxic gases during the war. His dad aproaches behind him and tells him: "I only wish it were that happy when MY dad described his experience to me."

(War clip with gas masks to show a flashback from the grandpa's story.)

Feeling ashamed Brad decides to delete his pictures and goes up to the seniors and tells them that he isnt up to the task anymore. 

Although the seniors are pissed, Brad does not give into peer pressure and walks away while war noises are ringing in his head from a war movie he had seen.
