Tags on Popular Lego Animation

I typed in Lego Animation into youtube and found that the most popular lego animation, with 11,762,493 views, was a Star Wars Lego Animation. The most common tags used for the most popular animations were tags, such as, lego, animation, the name of the tv program, movie or what ever they are making a version of, fun and stop motion. 

For our Lego animation that we made, i think the key words that would attract the most traffic to our animation are tags such as, lego and animation, obviously this would attract traffic because this is what you would assume people would type in to watch videos like these. The name of the tv program we making our version of, which in our case, it would be CSI Miami. This would attract a lot of traffic from people who like to watch murder investigation programs like this one. We would also use tags related to Long Road College, such as, long road, creative and media or cmdiploma and this would be using in attracting traffic because we would get anyone who goes to long road or looks at long road projects, now looking at any of our videos. 

When tagging our video, i think being detailed is important, as when someone types in the search they are generally looking for a certain thing, we just have to make sure ours has a lot of tags which a relevant and we are bound to have many views by at least some people. 

CSI Miami opening sequence

CSI Miami opening sequence

Our group chose to do the CSI Miami sequence. We chose this because we thought most of the opening credits would be simple to do, as quite a lot of it is just characters faces. The sequence includes a series of characters head shots, some scene clips and quite a few special effects.
I think the parts which we will find the hardest to do are the special effects because they are quite complex to succeed with using just Lego. For example, there are parts of the sequence where you see them examining evidence with a pair of tweezers and also a dead body autopsy, on a tv screen. This will be very hard to make with Lego and to make it look more like the sequence we would have to use something other than Lego. Another hard part would be the effect going across the screen throughout the sequence. This consists of clear squares going across the screen in different ways and we could do this using some clear plastic but there is no way we could do this with Lego.
This sequence will be quite difficult in some places but I'm sure we can find some way succeeding with all the issues and it will be very fun to do.

The Link Between Holby Blue and A Very Peculiar Practice

One link between these two tv drama's could be that they both feature a police romance at least once but this was the only link i could find. 

Coverage and Cut-aways

Coverage 

In film making, Coverage covers three sections, these sections are lens, camera and script. With lens, coverage means the size of the image the lens can produce. This is important because the coverage must be large enough to cover the sensor or the film used.

When looking at the camera part of coverage, it means the amount of footage which is shot and the different camera shots which a used during the making of a scene. This is important because you could make sure you get a variety of different camera shots and the more coverage of footage you get the more you have to work with and edit. 

Finally when looking at scripts, coverage is the name for evaluating and grading a screenplay. There are seven sections of the criteria that is used to do this, they are; identification, logline, comment summary, grade, synopsis, budget and analysis. This could be important because it is helpful to get feedback on screenplays, so you can edit and learn from things which didn't go so well. 

Cut-away

This is a film technique which is a filmed action, inserted with some view of something else and then it is normally followed by the cutback of the original shot. This, I wouldn't think wouldn't be too important, as it is a technique which is just chosen to do but it may be important to a film which is being shot and it may be a useful and effective technique.

TV Drama Lost in Lego animation

Omar

From this scene you get the impression thats he's a dangerous criminal, who hides from the cops and gets into lots of street fights. This i think is true but also from watching this scene you get the idea that he may have some good in him, he looks like and seems like the character who would defend and help his friends, basically the protector of his group. He doesn't seem like he would go around looking for trouble for no reason, he does what he does because he believes people deserve it and have done him wrong.

The Wire - Omar kills Savino

West Ruislip and Ongar

If you look at a tube map, the distant between West Ruislip and Ongar is rather big. There are a lot of stops between the both of them and to find the links between 'The Groove Family' and what ever should be at West Ruislip, you would need find a lot of links between them - i was unable to find even near that many.

Blind Boy of Alabama to Steve Earle

Tom Waits did the original version of the song for 'The Wire' and The Blind Boys of Alabama did a song called 'Way down in the hole', cover from the TV drama 'The Wire', so they link to 'The Wire' as well as Tom Waits. 'The Wire' connects to Steve Earle as he is doing a cover for the same song too for this years showing of 'The Wire'.

This is as far as i could get with the linking of this one.

Creative Tube Maps website

I didn't manage to find any websites of remade tube maps, most of the site i found were just funny joke maps.

Underground Task

We had a task to fill out a map of the underground trains with a variety of different TV drama's. Each drama could not be put down twice and where ever lines would cross, the drama would have to link with the line that ran through it. 

To begin with the task was quite difficult to sort out, we didn't know how we would start going about it and we neglected to plan anything which made it hard to know and organize things. After working it out, we assigned people to jobs, such as, we had four people on the laptops resourcing each category that we had a chosen to put on the map. We also had three people writing down all the drama's in each category, that the others had resourced and then two people would write on the big map and plan out where we put each drama which we came up with. 

We managed to complete less than a quarter of the map, assigned four lines to a category and we came across many situations where things would clash or we could match a drama with another category. It took us such a long time to get that far, with a lot of mistakes and I'm sure it will take us even long to finish it without any faults. 

Kings Cross

The TV Drama 'The OC' can be linked in six different ways. 

This drama could be classed as a youth drama, it is mainly based on youths and the target audience is aimed at the younger people. 

It could also be linked as an American drama - as it is made by Americans and set in America. 

The OC could be put into the genre of romance, as in most of the episodes, the main plot is around a relationship problem between the main the character and his girlfriend. 

Male lead could also be another link, as the drama has a main male lead - which the story is normally based around. 

As well as being a youth drama, i think The OC can be classed as a type of soap, it is about certain characters lives over time and you use your memory from other episodes to piece things together and follow the story. 

Finally, along with it having a male lead, i think that this drama could also link with the category of female lead too. In the majority of the episodes the stories are orientated around the two main characters, the leads.
