Simmulated Project Practice Shoot

As I hadn't got the Health and Safety forms signed but had booked out:

• 1 X SONY HDV Camcorder
• 1 X Boom Mic. + Cable
• 1 X Large Tripod

and my actors and crew had said that they were up for filming, I thought I may as well do a practice shoot. I had some issues whilst filming that I couldn't get the shots that I originally planned as the room was smaller than I had anticipated and made it hard to get certain angles.

I captured it and then watched through the footage. It was far too dark although it had looked fine through the camera. There was not enough shot variety as I couldn't get all the shots i had planned. The shots i had got all took slightly longer than i had thought they would as well, and slightly longer in a 20 second piece makes a huge difference!

Simmulated Project Health and Safety form

I filled out a Health and Safety form which I tried to show to debs the following day. She said she didn't have time but to come on Friday, I went on Friday and she took the forms and said to get them from her next week. I some changes to make.

(I shall scan these in soon)

Simulated Project My Acting Experience

I came back from my Nana's and played my first acting role in my mate Joe's Ad. His idea was that some one walks around the streets swapping cardboard folders which have band, film and program names on them, with other people. It took us a few hours to film and went quite well.

Simulated Project Proposal

I spent these two days making the changes to my proposal. My final proposal was as follows:

Simulated Project Proposal

Introduction:
I am undertaking a third year NTU project in which we have to create a 20 second T.V. advert which explains what file sharing is, when and why it is illegal and also the consequences of file sharing. It is for a public information campaign run by the Copyright Protection Society.
As I want to get into the film industry I feel quite strongly about file sharing. This is due to the fact that so many people do it. As it may affect money I could be getting in the future. Since I have started this course I have stopped downloading films and have bought a lot.
This document shall be split into three main parts. The background and context which will explain the background research I did and how it influenced my project designs and plans. The project designs and justifications are the second section which will include my final product designs including some of my shots from frame forge and my location shots. I will then explain why the designs are appropriate for the project and what way they fulfil the brief. The third part is the project schedule where I shall out lay what I plan on doing and when I’ve planned to do things by, and why I have organised my schedule like this.

Background and context:
I started my research by looking up information on the recent case of Pirate Bay. I read two BBC news articles that I found online, each at a different stage of the Pirate Bay court case. One of the most relevant parts to this project, was that the four administrators were sentenced to one year in jail and £3 million in damages to a variety of entertainment industries (BBC, 17/04/09). This gives a starting point to finding out about the consequences of file sharing it also shows how damaging it is to the industry. The BBC also had an article on the “Pirate Party” and I was amazed by the face that, “…the Swedish Pirate Party attracted 7% of the Swedish vote in June's European election… In the German general election last month, the German Pirate Party won the support of 13% of first-time male voters” (BBC, 19/10/09). This shows the increase in file sharing and it even continued to say how the founder of the pirate party Mr. Falkvinge said "We are talking about being the largest party for the next generation of voters." and that he proposes “to make file-sharing not only legal but actively encouraged.” (ibid). This gave me even more of a motive to try and create a good advert and I decided my target audience would be people from around fifteen to twenty-five.
I then decided to find out exactly what part of file sharing is illegal and why and what are the consequences. I found the answer to what and why it is illegal in the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act (Gov, 1988) (Appendix 1) which outlined the different cases of copyright infringement. I then found that for every copyrighted file you can get a fine of up to $150,000 which is about £90,656 (Sulair, 2004). I also came across a Times Online article which said that “…research also showed that half of 14 to 24-year-olds were happy to share all the music on their hard drive…” (Times Online, 2008) which made me want to do a advert showing this as I know a lot of people that do this, it also strengthened my reasoning’s for my target audience age.
Now knowing all that I needed to fulfill the brief I had a look at some ads on YouTube to get influences. After looking at a lot of different adverts some good and some bad I decided that I wanted to try and make it humorous as I found that funnier ads were more affective, such as a Piracy add which had Jack Black standing there listing off bizarre, over exaggerated reasons of why you shouldn’t download music or films (STUMMPY34, 2009) and an Ipod Shuffle ad in which you can see the top half of a girl in what you presume to be a bathroom holding a white stick looking at it and turning it around trying to see if she is pregnant, a man then walks in and she says “I cant tell if its positive or negative” he then says “Its an Ipod shuffle” it then fades to a white screen with black writing saying “Ipod Shuffle good for music” and fades back to the guy saying “it’s a boy” the girl then screams in joy and gives him a hug (YouTube, 2007). This made me want to create a comedy advert. Finally, I also found adverts that start off light hearted or funny and then change abruptly to something serious, such as a THINK! “Drug Drive” ad which starts out with three guys and a girl in a car driving talking and joking about their night, when they see a police car and try to act normally you see the police drive past then some blue flashes and a siren. There is then a voice over saying the fact that drugs affect your eyes, how the police pick up on this and the consequences for being caught (YouTube, 2009). With all these in mind I started brainstorming ideas.
Project Designs and Justifications:
Taking in that it has to be very short and so needs to be quite simple I decided on a final advert that included all the things that I wanted after doing my research. I wrote the script (Appendix 2) which starts in a bedroom with two 21 year old guys played by Chase Martini and Terrance Nabbs sitting next to a computer. One is wearing tracksuit bottoms and a hoodie and the other will wear jeans and a collared t-shirt to show that it’s not any specific type of people that are file sharing. There will be a skull and cross bones flag behind the computer screens to add a bit of comedy value and to keep the viewer reminded that it is piracy. Chase asks for some downloaded items off Terrance’s hard drive, they then joke about the it being illegal, they then hear a police siren and a policeman bangs through the door saying “do you have the rights?”, it will then fade to a black screen and you then will hear a sound of a jail door closing and white block writing will come up saying “……………………………………………..” I feel this covers all the issues that need to be covered to fulfill the brief. It talks about where file sharing can be illegal and is increasing seen on my research which is by friends sharing hard drives and copying thousands of songs, and lots of films in about 10 minutes. It tells you that file sharing is illegal when the material is copyrighted through the policeman’s dialogue and the consequences from where Chase says “you can get such a heavy fine for just doing this!”. The scene can be visualized from the FrameForge I have created:

Shot 1: (MS) Cut - Bedroom with 2 chars sitting in a room. It’s a static shot, with Chase saying “Hey bro”. It will be about 2 secs long. There will only be the ambient sound ch1 and the dialogue ch2

(Figure 1)

Shot 2: (CU) Cut – Shot of chases face whilst he asks Terrance “Have you…downloaded?”

(Figure 2)
Shot 3: (CU) Cut -, Terrance says “Ye man.”. Terrance leans down to a bag on the floor. Camera follows Terrance and pans down to left on to the bag

(Figure 3)
Shot 4: (CU) Pan Camera stops on the bag and Terrance takes a hard drive out whilst saying “There on the hard drive.”

(Figure 4)
Shot 5: (MS) Cut – Terrance gives the hard drive to chase. This is a static shot. Chase says “Cheers Mate” and turns to the screen.

(Figure 5)
Shot 6: (CU) Cutaway – During this there will be a cutaway to the hard-drive being handed over.

(Figure 6)
Shot 7: (CU) Cut – Point of view shot looking at the computer screen as Chase says “its crazy… doing this!”. It will show the files transferring to the computer.

(Figure 7)
Shot 8: (CU) Cut – Close up of Terrance as he says “Haha ye…gets caught?” and puts on a sly smirk at which point the room starts flickering in blue light. The sound now changes from the quite and you hear a police siren and a jail door slam close.

(Figure 8)
I was not able to put them in the desired clothes as there was only a small selection on the program, but I tried to get them as close as possible. I have also taken some location shots (Appendix 3) to help see the layout and space in the room.

Simulated Project Proposal

I spent these days working on my proposal. This consisted of writing the main body of the text, creating a Frame Forge story board and making a schedule. I took it to Debs on the 30th who gave me feedback.

• Try and shorten a lot of my sections down (such as when I had talked about 3 BBC articles.
• Take out the web links and reference the websites I talk about
• Don't talk about any other ideas I thought of
• Put the storyboards into the main text and write down exactly what is happening in each shot
• To change the ending so that the police don't come in and to stop the last frame on one of their faces and have a voice over saying something against piracy
• To change my FrameForge to correspond to the new ad and to ad shot variety

Simulated Project Frame Forge

I spent today in the computer room working on FrameForge. I didn't have any problems after finally finding a computer with it on (as there is only about 3) and I finished with:

Simulated Project Initial Ideas

After thinking I came up with three basic ideas.

• Show the outside of a house, have a title pop up saying that it is a director or music artist's house and have some one break in. Then show them inside the house and steal a film reel or an album. then have a voice over saying something along the lines of "you wouldn't break in and steal, piracy is illegal".
• The second idea was to have an interview style ad either with an artist or with random people saying when it is illegal, why it is illegal and the consequences.
• My third idea was after finding an article saying that "research also showed that half of 14 to 24-year-olds were happy to share all the music on their hard drive" which was on Times Online. It was to have two guys are in a room and one gives the other a hard drive. He puts it on his computer then you can hear sirens and Police burst in the room saying something like "Piracy is a crime! Do you have the right?"

My favorite out of these was the third idea and so i planned on expanding on this one.

Simulated Project Initial thoughts

With all the research I've done in mind i came up with a brief outline of what it needs to contain:
File-sharing: Copying files from one computer to another.
When is it illegal?: When the files being shared are copyrighted and you don't have the licence for it.
Why?: As it is an infringement of section 16 of the Copyright and Designs and Patent Act. The owner of the copyright has the exclusive right to:

• Copy the work
• Issue copies to the public
• To perform, show or play the work in public.
• To broadcast or include the work in any cable program
• To make an adaption of the work or do any of the above in an adaption.

Copyright is then infringed when a person without the liscence of the copyright does or authorises somone to do any of the above.

Consiquences: Can result in penalties of up to $150,000 per copyrighted file £90,656.

Simulated Project Inspiration - YouTube

After having the questions in my head I started looking at other ads to try and get some inspiration for my ad.
After watching a wide variety of different adverts I felt that funny ads were more affective, two particularly I liked were, one about Jack Black talking about piracy:

The second was an Ipod Shuffle add which has a girl in that thinks it is a pregnancy test:

I also thought other ads that start off light hearted and then have an abrupt part that changes the mood worked well and gets the point across clearly. An example of this is the THINK!

Finally it seemed there were alot of ads that were basically just interview style ads with people blatently saying the issues or points they want to get across. I found one done by American students from SIFE Belmont University that had a very simmilar breif to ours.

With all these in mind I had a good idea of what I wanted my ad to be like and so I started brainstorming ideas.

Simulated Project Script

I came up with the script for my advert for the Idea I wanted to use which was the following:

Simulated Idea 1 – Script

Two guys are sitting in a room next to a computer.

Guy 1 – Hey man, have you got those games, music, videos and that version of adobe you downloaded?

Guy 2 – Ye man,

Guy 2 takes an ext. hard drive out of his bag.

Guy 2 – There on the hard drive.

Guy 1 – Cheers mate, its crazy to think you can get such a heavy fine for just doing this!

Guy 2 – Haha ye but who ever gets court!?

Police Sirens are heard in the background and then police man bursts in the door. The guys quickly turn round and look at the door.

Police man – do you have the right!?

After this there will be a black screen with some white text will flash up.

Simulated Project Research

After finding out about Pirate Bay and the Pirate Party I then went on to do some more research to find the answers to the questions we had to answer with in the add. I found out about when and why file sharing is illegal and I got the answeres in the Designs and Patents Act which I found in an article called "BBC Copyright and Filesharing" at Lawdit Reading Room http://www.lawdit.co.uk/reading_room/room/view_article.asp?name=../articles/1305-MC-Filesharing-BBC-Copyright.htm which was as follows:
“Section 16 of the Copyright Designs and Patents relates to 'acts restricted by copyright in a work' The owner of the copyright in a work has the exclusive right to do the following acts in the United Kingdom (a) to copy the work (see section 17) (b) to issue copies of the work to the public (see section 18); (c) to perform, show or play the work in public (see section 19); (d) to broadcast the work or include it in a cable programme service (see section 20); (e) to make an adaptation of the work or do any of the above in relation to an adaptation (see section 21); It follows that copyright in a work is infringed by a person who without the licence of the copyright owner does, or authorises another to do, any of the acts restricted by the copyright.”

I then wanted to find out the exact consiquences of file sharing, as they can change slighlty in each case I could not take Pirate Bay's as a definate. Up to $150,000 per copyrighted file £90,656 is what i found in a report on Sulair called "File-Sharing: Beware of the Consequences": http://speaking.stanford.edu/Back_Issues/SOC66/highlights/03.File-Sharing-Consequences.txt.html. I also found:
"No, it's 100% legal. In no state in the United States or in any other country is file sharing illegal. However, if you're sharing content that is protected by copyrights to other users that is illegal. Below are some good examples of where file sharing becomes illegal in many places around the world.
Downloading or sharing a copyrighted movie.
Sharing copyrighted songs (music) to other people who have not purchased those songs or downloading songs from other people when you've not purchased that song.
Sharing or downloading computer software (programs, games, etc.).
Downloading or sharing a copyrighted TV show or program."
at Computer Hope in an article called "Is file sharing illegal?" at: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001042.htm

Simulated Project Beggining - Pirate Bay

We have been given the brief for this project that we must create a 20 second public information add for the Copyright Protection Society on illegal file sharing. we have to cover the following things in our ads:

• What file sharing is
• when it is illegal
• why it is illegal
• the consequences of file sharing

The first thing that came to my head when hearing this brief was the MPAA Anti Piracy Ad that is shown at the beginning of almost every film whether it be on DVD or at the cinema.

I started off by looking at the recent Pirate Bay court case. I found three BBC News reports on the case two from different times in the court case and the third about the Pirate Party. Here are the notes i made on them.

"Pirate Bay awaits court verdict" found at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7921933.stm.

• Prosecutors called for one year prison sentence for the four administrators
• Four men charged with earning 1.2m kronor (£92,000) by facilitating copyright infringement.
• Films, music, video games industries seeking 117m kronor
• Support coming from thousands of small, new and independent creative companies

"Court jails Pirate Bay founders" Found at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8003799.stm

• Four administrators sentenced to 1 year in jail and £3m in damages to be paid.
• Administrators find it "bizarre" they got convicted and even more that they were convincted as a team "I cant get Gottfrid out of bed" says one of the administrators.
• They "cant pay and wouldn't" if they could.
• Damages awarded to a number of entertainment companies inc. Warner bros, Sony music entertainment, EMI and Columbia pictures.
• Total awarded fell short of $17.5m in damages and interest, the firms were seeking.
• Chairman of industry body the International Federation of phonographic industry (IFFPI) John Kennedy said "Verdict sent out a clear message" and "There has been a perception that piracy is ok and that the music industry should just have to accept it."
• The four admin denied charges throughout trial as they didn't actually host files.
• Assistant judge Klarius explains how court reached its decision- First tried whether there was any breach of copyright by the file sharing application which was proven. secondly they looked at the team who operated Pirate Bay file sharing service, the court found they knew the material was protected by copyright but continued to operate the service.
• Richard Falkvinge - Leader of the Pirate Party who are trying to reform laws around copyright and patents in the digital age. said the verdict was "a gross injustice".
• "Today's events wake file sharing a hot political issue and were going to take this to European Parliament".
• The Pirate Bay is the worlds most high profile file sharing website and was set up in 2003 by anti-copyright organisation Piratebryan, but for last 5 years it has been run by individuals.
• Millions of files are exchanged using the service everyday.
• No copyright content is hosted on pirate bay's web servers - instead the site hosts torrent links.
