Barbering Instructional Video Project & AC1: Informing Ideas


Interpretation of the brief

The Client for this work is Mark Sowerby, a Barbering Lecturer at Sunderland college and his requirements for us is to make a video about giving a haircut, the time for this video can be either 5-10 minutes long as this video does not want to be like a documentary. The target audience for this are 16-18 year olds because most of the audience will be learning students that want to learn how to give haircuts incase of a time where they can apply for a job. The types of examples to help me on this work would be what types of unique hairstyles there are, whats the equipment needed for this tutorial video, what the lifestyle of the haircuts and whats the main origin of the hairstyles. This Tutorial video must be educational for the students and it must include things that some would find educational like showing off whats needed and what to do like you are teaching a class. 

The Requirements of this work will be to Plan, Edit and Film a Tutorial video of how to give a specific type of unique hair cut. The film must include free copyrighted music while in production along with a voice over for the tutorial video.  

the deadline for this will be on the 24th of May 2021 and the Resubmission will be on the 14th of June 2021. Assessors of this work will be Drew Naylor, Emma Leslie-body and Neil Wilson.

The shots for this video must be static and be close to mise en scen while being filmed on a tripod. The production of this video will be recorded on campus due to Covid19 and no where else has to be filmed. A meeting with the client will be in order to discuss the production of the film and to talk about what the client wants for this video and what the main requirements are.

The client, that being Mark is barbering teacher that teaches level 2 to 3 students and he has tasked us to make a video for a barbering tutorial and needs to be around 5-10 mins long.

The things we need to do for the work for this will be stuff like Informing ideas meaning given evidence of existing work, an interpretation of the brief, a research of the barbering videos for inspiration, Using research to inform ideas, a mind map and evidence on the blog. 


Video Examples



How this video used its codes and conventions was the different camera angles it used like for example how it was close up on the mixing of the ingredients and how it was made in the tutorial, other examples is the main settings of the video and how it took place in a kitchen which is practically like every cooking tutorial. The semiotics of this would be that the main symbol of this video would be there is a cheesecake on the thumbnail and it is the main aspect of the video, the index for this tutorial video would be cooking process of the video and it shows the main process of the cheesecake making along with subtitles saying what the ingredients are. The Icon for the video would be the cheesecake itself as it is the main focus of the video. The key features of this video would be the focus of the cake making itself and show how much it paces through the making which gives a nice reaction to the audience as well as the editing of the video as it shows pacing and editing such as subtitles and the jump cuts of the tutorial. How this video becomes effective is that how it appeals in editing as it shows how the editor/creator shows each step of the making of the video like how they mix the ingredients and how the subtitles show the ingredient to show the audience what they need to make such a delightful cake. The main downsides of this tutorial is that there is no voice over and only music in the back round and another thing is that they only show 1 thing you can have on the side.




How this video used its codes and conventions was the style of the video like the main setting was like how many cooking tutorials are, in a kitchen area with a lot of colour in them to show off a sense of style to the viewers/audience, What is also shown is the editing of the video as the creator/editor introduces us to his/her style of editing like showing subtitles of the ingredients and an image of a phone, basically telling the audience to subscribe to their channel to gain a bigger audience and to show off their skills in the coming future. The main semiotics would be that for the symbol would be the main product of the video that being the Oreo Mousse and the main thumbnail of the video being that, The index would be the main process of the making of the Oreo Mousse and how it is made along with the editing placed into the video and for the Icon it was basically the main finished product done. The Key features of this video was the editing and the main lighting as it shows both how much work was put into this video like how the editor shows off the subtitles of the ingredients and the main amount of the process, for the lighting it shows the brightness of the video and how it paces along to show that the audience can see it more clear as the video goes on. The main effectiveness that is shown in this video is that of how good the finished dish looks and how it is made in the process as Oreos are a popular food item and people will want to see somethings like this made, another effective way that this video appeals is that how the main ingredients are displayed and how well put out they are as the video progresses. The main downsides of this video would be that there is no voice over and how basically there is no sound of the creators voice and there is just music, another thing that there is only basic font and how it just seems so simple for a tutorial video and maybe a quick change would fix it right up.

Foley Sound Project

For this project i have selected a 2 minute video from Star Wars the Clone Wars season 7, the clip lasts for 2 minutes and shows many elements of sound during the clip. For example the lightsaber effect sounds are  somebody making the sounds effects themselves. the sound of the saber clashing onto something is a microphone being waved around near a speaker. The same thing goes for when the lightsaber is deflecting blaster shots. The Jetpack sound could be a prerecorded sound effect added to it make look more well sounded in the short minute clip. The blaster effect sounds can be used on a slinky and tapped with a metal object. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Vum5BQP5k0 The script is only a few short lines by two separate characters. Rex: Sorry, I didn't think to bring you a jetpack. Ashoka: Don't need one. Ashoka: Race you to the surface. Clone Pilot: Thanks, Commander! Ashoka: Beat you. Rex: Some things never change. the list of the foley sounds i will need to require is the ...
