Steenbeck Film Editing

 

Steenbeck is a brand name that has become synonymous with a type of flatbed film editing suite which is usable with both 16 mm and 35 mm optical sound and magnetic sound film.

The Steenbeck company was founded in 1931 by Wilhelm Steenbeck in Hamburg, Germany. Since then, the name Steenbeck has become widely known in the film editing community and more than 25,000 machines are in operation around the world. The company relocated to Venray (The Netherlands) in September 2003, where it still manufactures editing tables.

History of film Editing

 

Early films were short films that were one long, static, and locked-down shot. Motion in the shot was all that was necessary to amuse an audience, so the first films simply showed activity such as traffic moving on a city street. There was no story and no editing. Each film ran as long as there was film in the camera.

The use of film editing to establish continuity, involving action moving from one sequence into another, is attributed to British film pioneer Robert W. Paul's Come Along, Do!, made in 1898 and one of the first films to feature more than one shot. In the first shot, an elderly couple is outside an art exhibition having lunch and then follow other people inside through the door. The second shot shows what they do inside. Paul's 'Cinematograph Camera No. 1' of 1896 was the first camera to feature reverse-cranking, which allowed the same film footage to be exposed several times and thereby to create super-positions and multiple exposures. This technique was first used in his 1901 film Scrooge, or, Marley's Ghost

Time Lapse

What is a time lapse ?

 A Time-lapse is where a camera takes alot of images of a subject with a gap  of time between each image. The gap can be anything from less than a second to a day or more. When the images are played back the gap of time is speeded up creating shorter time. 

What equiptment do you need ?

 You can take a time-lapse sequence with most cameras types, digital has made the process easier with the the large number of frames taken and the way to view as a movie with a computer. An important piece of equipment which enables you to set the camera up in a fixed position. When taking a time-lapse it is very important that the camera does not move or the effect well be spoilt. You can pan and zoom the camera, but it should be done as a slow sequence as part of the time-lapse.



Modern Animation

Cel Animation

The characters are drawn on cels and laid over a static background drawing. This gets rid of the number of times an image has to be redrawn and that menas studios can split up the production process to different specialised teams  The outline of the images are drawn on the front of the cel while colors are painted on the back to get rid o brushstrokes. 

Family Guy is an American adult animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on the Griffins, a family consisting of parents Peter and Lois; their children Meg, Chris, and Stewie; and theiranthropomorphic pet dog Brian. The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island, and exhibits much of its humor in the form of cutaway gags that often lampoon American culture.

Claymation

Clay animation or claymation is one of many forms of stop motion animation. Each animated piece, either character or background, is "deformable"—made of a malleable substance, usually Plasticine clay.

Wallace and Gromit is a British stop motion comedy film series. Created by Nick Park of Aardman Animations, the series consists of four short films and a feature-length film. The series centres on Wallace, an absent-minded inventor and cheese enthusiast, along with his companion Gromit, an anthropomorphic silent yet intelligent dog.

Cut Out 

Cutout animation is a technique for producing animations using flat characters, props and backgrounds cut from materials such as paper, card, stiff fabric or even photographs. The world's earliest known animated feature films were cutout animations. 

South Park is an American adult animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone for the Comedy Central television network.

The ongoing narrative revolves around four boys—Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick—and their bizarre adventures in and around the titular Colorado town.

Building an Audience

 

 

 

Distribution Platforms

 

My first option is to upload my web series upon youtube because its a worldwide website that is viewed millions of times aday ad has more chance of getting views compared to other sites. I could also upload my web series onto itunes as a download or video podcast , as my web series is about "guitar lessons " so my genre of web series would fit right into itunes.

 

Social Networking

 

My primary option is to " tweet " my web series to people who have " followed " greendays twitter and see if anyone would like to learn to play greenday songs on guitar and this would be the perfect auidence. My second option is to use facebook and instagram , i could do the same on both of theese social networking sites , but twitter is my first choice.

 

Crowd Funding 

 

Crowd funding is a way of grabbing your audience , when going on " kikstarter"  you can post about what film you are going to make , this allows people to donate money to your film " budget " because they are obvioulsy wanting to see that film. you have to set a budget you are wanting to create this film , you only have a certain amount of type to reach that budget and if you dont reach your budget in time , you dont get the money.

 

Press

 

 To build my audince through the press , I would use magazines such as " the empire " and " NME " theese magazinbes would be ideal to use as they are about " punk " " rock " music , the guitar lessons I am teaching in my web series are " greenday " who are a " punk " " rock " band so this fits perfectly as I will attrract an audience who are interetsed in this .

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

Legal

 

 

Libal Law

 

You can be sued for damages if you publish or broadcast things about a person which are untrue and damage their reputation (defame them) The law was created to protect individuals or organisations from unwarranted, mistaken or untruthful attacks on their reputation.

 

Example : - In November, Conservative peer Lord McAlpine announced his intention to seek libel damages from Twitter users over incorrect and defamatory insinuations linking him to child sex abuse. Lord McAlpine has dropped threatened legal action against Twitter users with fewer than 500 followers and instructed his lawyers to concentrate their efforts on seeking £50,000 in damages from Mrs Bercow, in what is expected to be the first High Court Twitter libel trial.

 

 

 

Obscene Publications Act Law

 

The definition of this is content that is "likely to deprave and corrupt" the audience for which it is intended.Lawyers may need to check whether a production breaks this law before it is released. Content such as sexually explicit, violent and/or drug taking is reviewed for suitability. Decisions are made dependent on factors such as age range of the audience, the time a production is broadcast.

 

Example :-

The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) is a sequel to the film The Human Centipede (First Sequence), which was classified Although the concept of the film was undoubtedly tasteless and disgusting it was a relatively traditional and conventional horror film and the Board concluded that it was not in breach of our Guidelines at '18'. '18' uncut for cinema and DVD release by the BBFC in 2010.

 

Official Secrets Act Law

 

It is a criminal offence to obtain or publish any information from a serving or former member of the security and intelligence services or from certain categories of civil servants or public contractors where that disclosure would be damaging.

 

Example :-

WikiLeaks.org, the online organization that posted tens of thousands of classified military field reports about the Afghan war on Sunday, says its goal in disclosing secret documents is to reveal “unethical behavior” by governments and corporations. In a telephone interview from London, the organization’s founder, Julian Assange, said the documents would reveal broader and more pervasive levels of violence in Afghanistan than the military or the news media had previously reported. “It shows not only the severe incidents but the general squalor of war, from the death of individual children to major operations that kill hundreds,” he said.


Copyright Law

This law exists to protect people's creative endeavours so that they can properly benefit from their work. If such protection didn't exist and people were able to copy or sell or profit from another's work, there would be little incentive for people to create in the first place. Programme-makers are responsible for ensuring that all necessary clearances (copyright, trademarks etc.) have been obtained for their programmes.

 

Example:-

SEARCH GIANT Google was fined €25,000 for breaking Belgian copyright law for every day since an initial ruling in September, amounting to a whopping €3.45 million.
It published links to newspapers in Belgium without permission a a Belgian court said. Google was sued by a group of Belgian publishers last September, charged with breaking copyright by listing stories and brief extracts on its news aggregation site.
According to reports,MSN and Yahoo have also heard from m'learned fiends over similar matters.

Privacy Law

If a media company publishes information about someone which is information that should be considered private, that is to say, information in respect of which you had a ‘reasonable expectation of privacy’, then legal action for misuse of private information can be brought under the Human Rights Act 1998.

Example

The News International phone-hacking scandal — dubbed "Hackgate", "Rupertgate", or "Murdochgate" by the press — is a controversy involving the now defunct News of the World and other British newspapers published by News International, a subsidiary of the then-News Corporation. Employees of the newspaper were accused of engaging in phone hacking, police bribery, and exercising improper influence in the pursuit of publishing stories. Investigations conducted from 2005 to 2007 concluded that the paper's phone hacking activities were limited to celebrities, politicians and members of the British Royal Family. In July 2011, it was revealed that the phones of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler, relatives of deceased British soldiers, and victims of the 7/7 London bombings were also accessed, resulting in a public outcry against News Corporation and owner Rupert Murdoch. Advertiser boycotts contributed to the closure of the News of the World on 10 July, ending 168 years of publication. Continued public pressure later forced News Corporation to cancel its proposed takeover of the British telecommunications company BSkyB.
