Video Profile Evaluation
When I making this video, I had decided early on that the music I will use for the background will be, ‘Farewell to the Fatherland’, by Michał Kleofas Ogiński, which reflects how much Polish people during its years under occupation longed for a free and independant Poland and it represents Poles who left due to historical events. The clips I used in it were all symbolic of the Polish success. The first clip from, Ashes and Diamonds (Popioł i Diament) by Andrzej Wajda, shows how happy the Poles were when the Second World War had ended. The film itself is about a Home Army (Armia Krajowa) soldier and how he realised they will have to eradicate the Polish Communists, who want to hand over Poland to the Soviet Communists. The other two clips are from, Pirates of the Caribbean, and, Saving Private Ryan. Both of which have Polish contributions in the making of them.
Through this video I would like to show that Poland, though a small country in Europe, is a very strong and powerful country, when its comes to its film industry, most Polish filmmakers are now more influencing in the European Film Industry and Hollywood. I hope that my video helps show how Polish people can contribute to the worldwide industry.
I think that if I was to improve the video, I would do all the parts that I appear in each in a different location, and use more short clips rather than the longer ones. I would also try to get a more analytical approach to it and with more of my own opinion.
Overall I think my video gives a general overview of what Polish people have gone through to help contribute to the film history of Hollywood and Britain.

There may not be a lot of animation in it but I fulfilled the brief to make an E4 ident.

Proposal
The ident will be the Inbetweeners cast in cartoon form talking to camera, effectively breaking the fourth wall, telling the audience about their movie and how they miss E4. Breaking the fourth wall convention is good because it fits with the anarchic feel of both animation and the channel.
The appeal of the characters of the Inbetweeners is that they are popular among the target audience of the channel so they will be right for the ident. E4 has a young adult target audience and I feel that this ident will appeal to them.
To produce the ident and sting animations, I will be using my camera, the Canon Powershot SX30 IS, to take shots of outline drawings, on top of a single colour background, drawn on A4 OHP film. Each shot will be put into Adobe Photoshop to add colour to complete the image. From there the shots will be put in the order in Final Cut Pro to be animated. Once it’s fully animated and completed on there, I will record the voices of characters while watching the animation. Then I will import the audio into Final Cut Pro, to piece it together into a complete ident. For the E4 sting, I will use a shorter fragment of the ident. The E4 logo will fall onto the video and the character heads will appear around it.
Schedule: This will be completed by Thursday 7th April 2011.
