crew on set

 


cinematographer/cameraman

For my research into how much a professional cinematographer would cost us i went to a variety of websites and pages, looking into average hourly pay a professional cinematographer would earn. According to https://www.payscale.com , the average base hourly rate for a cinematographer is £21 /hour.

But then I also found from the same site that the average cameraman earns £40 /hour. This is a sign to me that we want a cinematographer specifically because after doing some research to create a distinction between the two, it became clear to me that cinematographers are typically higher level professionals.

https://www.pocketpence.co.uk states that the average hourly wage is £15.50.

After looking into the averages of hourly wages, I also realised it would not be smart to pay them the minimum we can because not only will this effect how professional and trustworthy of a cinematographer we can get, but this is also morally not the best route of action in my opinion as we are paying them for their best efforts and all of their hard work. Due to these factors, I am deciding to use payscales average salary as a basis of where to hire a cinematographer, this would mean I would be paying £21 /hour and therefor, for the whole production, I would pay a maximum of £378 for this production.

lighting technician

https://www.prospects.ac.uk states that a lighting technician on a commercial should earn £41.70/hour.

Whereas other sites such as https://www.salary.com suggest the average wage is much less. At hourly wages of £16.58

Due to the same ethical and logical reasons stated prior, I will be finding a lighting technician for £19/hour. This for the whole production works out at £342

Sound designer

I struggled to find much on hourly pay of a sound designer from my research. However, payscale states that a sound designer, on average, earns £15.50 / hour.

Due to this, I will be looking for a sound designer that will be paid £17/hour. This means overall for the production the sound designer will cost: £306.

Editor

Payscale states that a film/video editors base average salary per hour works out at £14.79.

Where as https://uk.talent.com states that the average pay for a video editor is £15.38/hour.

Due to the similarities between these two numbers, I have decided to look for a video editor at £15/hour, working out at £75 for the whole production.

Hair stylist

For a hair stylist I used talent.com and payscale to compare average hourly wages, payscale states that the average hourly wage is £8.25, where as talent.com states that the average salary P/h is £12.05. Due to these differences i have decided to find a hair stylist for £10 /hour. This works out at £180 for the production.



 

makeup Artist

I used the same method of comparison with finding prices of makeup artists as I did with hair stylists. Payscale states average hourly wage is £10.13 /hour where as talent.com states its over double that, at £20.51/hour. Due to these findings along with fitting with the rough budget created in the pitch, I have decided to find a makeup artist for £13.50 /hour, this works out at £243 for the whole production.


The overall pricing for the crew for the production would be £243+£180+£75+£306+£342+£378= £1524

  Initial Client briefing In this meeting we went over the brief with the client, being informed on what the task was, who we were making it for, reputation, messages conveyed and demographics/psychographics we were to appeal to with our video promotion. A video of the meeting is attached bellow to show evidence: Idea pitch In this meeting we, as a focus group, each individually presented our ideas with a basic budget to the client, receiving feedback from client and the rest of the group.  The feedback I received was to follow up with my second idea but to incorporate more family past as well as reconnecting with current family. The client along with the group liked the dialogue "I didn't know you had so much family".  I followed up with this advice, further enhancing my first idea by incorporating contact with family ancestors and connections being made through that. I kept the line of dialogue that was well received. I have. attached a video of the meeting to provide e

British New wave research

What is British New wave British New Wave, otherwise specified as kitchen sink dramas, weren't like the previous typical advertisements for the British way of life, they were unpolished and soon developed into gritty features called "angry young man films". These were typically set in Northern England during the late 1950s and early 1960s. The narratives of these films usually dealt with the problems of the working class, such as: Unhappy marriages alcoholism secret affairs unplanned pregnancies barroom brawls generation gaps Influences/ intent A large amount of British New Wave was inspired by 1940s work of american auteur and 1940s Italian realism. Many British New Wave filmmakers took influence from french new wave filmmakers who used specific techniques to convey realism, such as: Location shots to add documentary feel Real people (not actors) as extras Hand held cameras Black and white footage Reference to the camera men as well as photographers Long tracking shots u

Analysis of 3 promotional videos

Nintendo Switch: Two brothers AD  The purpose of this advertisement is to promote the Nintendo Switch gaming console. It does this by suggesting the idea that nintendo brings people together, even two brothers who never get along and using nostalgia to appeal to older generations. It does this through use of sound, camera and lighting, shot types, editing and misce-en-scene. Genre tropes: how are they/aren't followed Within this advertisement, nintendo, along with many other console brands, use subtle references to games and owned and created by them,so as to show their products. Nintendo puts heavy emphasis on nostalgia and how their past products effected their target audience reminding them that their products have been accepted well from their beginning. An example of this is the scene where it shows the two brothers throughout theirs lives using past products and this being the only time they get along. Where as companies such as Xbox put more emphasis on the mystery behind th
