History of Home videos

From the moment i was born Home videos have been a huge part of my life. Iv never known someone not to own a video camera in a household. Though through the years iv seen them develop, become more suitable and more technical.Cameras are even on are mobile phones so werever we are we can record are memorable moments.

Invention of the camera.

Chinease and greak philosphers were the first to talk and describe the basic principals of optics and the camera in the 4th and 5th centuries in B.C.
Though in 1814 Joseph Nicephore niepce achives the first photographic image with a camera. Though not many people were interested as it had a downside such as needing 8 hours of light exposure.

Later on in 1837 the first image was fixed and only needed 30 minutes of light exposure.
In 1843 the first advertisment including a photograph was made in Philadelphia.

George Eastman had been incharge of Eastman kodak for quite some while but it growing more and more popular in the 1900's. New films were being created on a celluiod base. Though only the rich and upper class people could aford these cameras.

In the 1930s more development was taking place. 8mm film was introudced so more people could buy it as 16mm was to expensive. 8mm was also easier to use. Audio was able to be recorded sepreatly and colour was introudiced to film. This is when cameras started to become the best.

8mm and 16mm were still populare through the next thew decades. Though most people who did not feel comftable using 16mm stuck with 8mm because it was easier to use and was fun to record home videos. However people did still use 16mm but mainly proffesionals. Home movies were becoming more and more popular .

In 1965 a new software was introduced called super 8 this was affordable and much more easier to use. Video cameras were now eing used by all class's so everyone could enjoy their own home movies and relive their memories.

In the 1970's videos were starting to chage. People were using cassests and they could play back their video on to tv. Was much easier to enjoy home movies. The size of the videocameras were getting much smaller . Further adjustments were happening wich ment recording video could go on for longer.The popularity was rising as most families owned a video camera. People were happy because cameras were no longer avaliable just for the upper class.

The first camera phone was made in 1997 by Phillippe kahn. People were mazed that you could now take pictures on your phone and no longer needed to bring a camera and a phone out. The first camera phone was made by Sharp. Soon followed by many other populare names in the mobile businnes.

Today we can take pictures and videos on are phone. This means nothing to us as we've always been around advance technology. We can also upload what we've just taken on are phone to the internet in minutes.

Design ideas

Design idea 1

My social life..

An insight of what i get up to with my friends and family :) by doing this i can show tough options teenagers are faced with .

this includes

-peer pressure

For example to do with alcohol and drugs . So if i was out one night and everyone was drinking and i didn't want to and i started to get bullied about it . This could relate to alot of children about bullying. This could be filmed out or at a party .

-friendship groups

Talk about the friendship groups and how everyones different and how everyone tries to be the same so no ones left out . Il use my friends and my diploma class to talk and show what they think of how people act to friendship's. Il video this in my diploma lesson and at main friends house's.

-clothes

I thought this would be good because it will show what people have to wear and how if your not in to the latest fashion people criticize what you wear . I will use my clothes and friends clothes to compare. This will probably be really simple to film cause it would just be in my room.

-family situations

For this i would use footage of arguments and what a teenager goes through at home and feelings on how and what happens at home. This will be simple to video around home or family day trips out. I will talk about the feelings of other teenagers and how they feel.

My friends and family will be included and will be filed around my house, friends house's and day trips out. The people that would most likely be in the footage will be my 2 best friends Harvey Harrison and Jack Jacobs. My family will also be in the footage but it would most likely be my Mum, Dad and Sister. My brother would be included but he's not always at home .Il film it over a long period of time then cut it down to certain clips to make it more interesting.

Design idea 2

Music video..(the image is a band who do parodies on youtube)

-Parody

This is when you remake a video and make fun of something by using other people peoples clips. Doing this i would pick a music video which would be easy for me to make. Example Tik Tok by Ke$ha Because you can just make up dance moves and remake the words to make it funnier. I would film this out and in the house but not at school .It would be funny and entertaining for school website. I would use a couple of friends to be in the video and think about costume's so it doesn't look messy.

Though i could also make my own music video up. By doing this i would get either some people in rock academy or friends i know who are musically talented and play musical instruments. I would make a song up with the band and think of a relevant video . This would probably be recorded in different areas outside. I would once again think of clothing so it does not look messy. I would also think about camera shots by researching in to that. Also i would make "making the video" that would start of so then it would finish with the final project.

Both of these ideas would take up 3-5 weeks to film .

Design idea 3

Documentary on creative and media diploma ..

This can show younger children what the diploma is like and they can have an insight of what we do. What we've done so far.

This will help children if they don't no what they want to do when they get to year 9 or 10 . The video will include what we do in the lessons and the trips we go on and how it all links together. I would use the people in the creative and media diploma class. I would interview the students and the teacher Mr Coulson to see what they think of the diploma and how they feel about it. Also if they recommend it. It will be recorded in class to see what happens . Also talk about the friendships grown and the commitment . This will take about 4 weeks to film in each lesson.

Design idea 4

How to cook...

This can show young children of brookfield school how to eat healthy and also cook there favorite deserts. For example how they can get there 5 a day.

By using my friends and myself to present it to make it more funnier so younger people would be more interested. I would use many different recepies of different corses. I would film this in a kitchen . I would have to do a risk assesment befor as there is many dangers in the kicthen. This would take a thew days to film for differnt shots and there would be alot of edditing for example when your waiting for something to cook.

Evaluation/Feasibility Study

I must now consider how easy it will be to produce these videos and if it is possible. There are many things to consider before i take my planning further and make my final decision.

-cost-limited budget - school can not provide us so we have to work towards it are selfs

-time- Take in the amount of time we have for the project and even though we can film whenever you want we also have to think about editing and come up with a plan b if everything goes wrong.

-equipment- Think about the consideration that we will most likely have to involve are own props and euipment. Though we do have cameras we are already using and tripods so we dont have to worry about filming, also we have memory cards so we will always have anoth storage.

-actors- Each design idea is differnnt so i would have to think about different actors for each of them, also i will have to get concent forms for the actors i do you use because if something happens for example they back out and say i cant use the footage i would still be aloud cause il have a form they signed.

-transport and locations - I cant do something that is hard to get to or for other actors to get to. Also il have to think of locations for example i wont be aloud to film in a shop.

-legality -I have to make sure everything is legal to do and make sure nothing is copywrite also i will have to get the permission of the actors im using and make sure they sign a contract to show they are willing to be working for me.

-copyright -I have to make sure all my ideas are my own ideas and that the song, music and lyrics are not copywrite and they are all my own.

-my own production skills-From previous modules i will already have production skills such as personal learning, thinking skills, computer skills and writing skills.

-editing software -I need a software that is easy to place music over the top that includes easy slides. Editing software is a very large part of the topic and important as that is what i will be doing the most.

-purpose- Each idea has to have a main purpose. For example the 5 w's (why, What, When, Where, Who) and also how. The video has to be ither informative or entertaining.

-suitability - It will have to be suitable as the video will be going on the brookfield school website so it cant be rude or include any swearing. The main audiance will be for 11-16 year olds.
