After effects practice - Sophia

Here is a link to my video , we were showed a video based on after effects and we had to replicate what we had watched in the half an hour video. The problem I encountered was that I had not used the programmes before and the video we watched was moving quite fast and found it hard to keep up at times. The point of doing this piece of work was so that we could increase our skills in editing ready for when we are making the graphics for our news package.

Health and Safety Assessment - Caryss and Sophia

Hazards	Who’s exposed	Risk	Controlled measures
During one of our shots we will have one of our group members driving towards another member.	Caryss, Lauren, Sophia and Ria (CLSR)	The driver may not stop in time so there might be an accident.	Not make sure none of our group members are at risk, the car is going to be traveling at 10mph and then when editing we will speed up the footage.
The driver (our group member)	Lauren	If there are bad weather conditions or any distractions could be at risk of an accident.	Checking the weather before filming, make sure we plan everything correctly. Make sure she is wearing a seatbelt and that all distractions are away. Driving at the speed limit or under. Our group member will be driving at 5- 10 mph , there will alsways be a set point of where she would stop ( the tree)so that there would be no accident. We also made sure that she has her driving license for a suitable period of time (4 months) We also checked that the cars MOT had been done recently.
When filming we must be carful of on coming cars.	CLSR	As a group we may be concentrating on the footage and not realising what is going on around us. As we are filming near roads there could easily be accident if we’re not alert to our surroundings.	When crossing roads we must be aware of what is going on around us.
When filming we stay out of the way of members of the public so we don’t put them at risk.	Members of the public	When filming we could get in the way of the public as we are using a tripod, members of the public may trip over it.	We must have a member of our group by the tripod at all times.
Trip hazard	CLSR	There is a risk of falling over and injuring ourselves or breaking equipment.	Make sure we look where we are going. Depending on weather conditions for example ice, certain areas will be slippy.
Weather	CLSR	We can’t film; the driver from our group won’t be able to see where she is going.	We are going to check the weather, before filming, so we can prepare for all possibilities.
Equipment	Damage of the equipment	Can’t keep filming.  Can get an electric shock if equipment gets wet.	Make sure we keep out equipment in a waterproof bag and out of poor weather conditions to prevent any damage to the equipment or to ourselves.

Shooting schedule and coursework plan - Lauren

Location

https://www.thinglink.com/scene/599543711864455170

As part of the research and planning we have to decide where we wish to film and if there are any complications with filming in the location. By doing this we have eliminated any chance of filming somewhere we are not allowed to.

Research of similar products and target audience - Sophia

Here is some screenshots of other companies that already exist and show the sorts of thing that we will also be doing. they have some help videos of getting the best insurance personally for you which was part of one of our ideas. There is also a screenshot of a website that shows 'Helping L Drivers', this website has some similar ideas that we have for example on the website it has help for after the test ...

After the test

• Encourage your young driver to take further training
• Encourage them to take out telematics-based motor insurance
• Consider making a Parent/Young Driver Agreement
• Increase their supervised experience by letting them drive you on family trips

Below is a video on youtube that helps new drivers with insurance, this is similar to what we intend to make. However we wont just be focusing on insurance we will also show statistics to new drivers and also giving adice to young and new drivers on the road.

     This video is also of driver advise for new and young drivers some topics that are covered in the video include ; what car should a young driver buy for a first car, he also talks about whether to get a manual or an automatic. 

The problem with this video and how ours will be different;

• He gives good advise but the audience will get bored very quickly and probably stop watching
• The video isn't very visual
• the video is too long and he woffels too much so the audience of new and young drivers may loose interest.

This is another wesite to show driver help

Our Target Audience

Our target audience is new and young drivers who may be beginning to learn to drive or maybe have already past their test and just need some advise on insurance and general questions that need answers.
