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.
