We started off by discussing the use of 3D and VR and the future of it within the theatre and film industry. We also talked about creating our own VR design of a to-scale Royal Opera House and then being able to use that in the design challenge or to create future to-scale sets for the company.
Next week we were experimenting using the 360 cameras. We went out to film footage to edit with. We decided to hire santander bikes as they are free for 30 minutes, tape the cameras to the front of the bikes and cycle around the nearby streets. We tried to travel in a variety of locations so that we had multiple shots to work with. We all tried a different setting, I took a time-lapse video, Tom took multiple videos and Vadim took photos. We will be editing them next week.
We went on a trip to the V&A to go to an exhibition about video games. There were lots of examples of games throughout the years and the effect it has on modern day people. For example there was a video of gaming designers and CEO's talking about the effect violence has on adolescents behaviour, such as increase in gun, knife, and violent crimes. Some say that this isn't due to video games whilst others say it is. We then went on to watch a video about the gaming networks, groups of people who are so crazy about gaming they make costumes for cosplay, they film videos creating minecraft worlds, take part in online competitions, and they all have huge online followings. I didn't really understand the gaming world and its not something I'm massively interested in but it was an eye opening exhibition.
I am going to use a 360 camera to film a walking tour of the royal opera house as my entry for the royal opera house design challenge. My plan is to walk around the royal Opera house with a camera on a friends head whilst I talk and give information out about the theatre and company. I will also add text and hyperlinks during editing to make it even more interactive for the viewer. To be able to achieve this we have been liasing with the royal opera house and we are going to create a short tester video around college.
For A Christmas Carol we filmed Jeremy who was a ghost so we could project the footage on to the back of the theatre. We used various lighting and camera angles to try and find the best on and the one that looked the scariest. We used the green screen in the film studio and we sat Jeremy on a chair so that this way he would remain still. After we had all the footage we uploaded it to the computer and we had to change the background colour to a dark grey, we also had to edit the video and cut it so that we could loop it.
