WELCOME TO DAILY MEDIA

-


My name is Thasos Violaris and I am a Year Zero Student at DMU and this is my blog.I am writing this blog as a place to upload and express my ideas and work for my Digital Arts class.I am a huge fan of pop culture films and computer games and that played a big role to the course i chose to follow at the university. I intend to study Film and Television Studies to follow my dream on becoming a successful director. My friends and family support this decision, mainly because they understand the love I have for filmmaking. 

Today I want to talk about George Luca's well known space Odyssey, and one of my favourite movie franchises of all time, STAR WARS.George Lucas created this astonishing universe filled with amazing characters, stories and location.His work inspired people all over the world to create and give their own spin to his work by writing novels, movies and create computer games based on his characters.The first three STAR WARS movies are some of the most well written pieces of modern cinema and I think that played a huge role to the success of the entire franchise so that big companies like Disney wanted to get the rights for the STAR WARS logo.

  SMART Objective As a future film and television studies student I want to create a 3 minutes long video discussing social media and the impact they have on human lives. Social media have a large impact on how the world around as is shaping and evolving and that is something I want to discuss on my major project. I believe that with my current knowledge on video editing, filmmaking and time management skills I can achieve a good result for my major project.By using friends as actors in the time given I can write a small script that will be easy to execute and be achievable in the time given.I will be using iMovie to edit my video because it is a program that is easily accessible on the type of software I am using.

About Me page on my website

  About me page: I wrote a small paragraph discussing who I am, what I am doing now and what are my intentions for the future. Also I included some information about my educational background but also my experience in my field of study. I have been experimenting with the tool bar to edit how my text is being presented to the viewer and did some adaptions to my written text. Furthermore I changed the background to the one with the New York skyline so my Welcome page and the page about me can be related as the pages to introduce and talk about me. Afterwards I added a professional picture of me taken at Bristol UK. I made sure that I chose a picture that makes me look confident in order to appeal more to my viewer that I am a student with passion and certainty. In order for the "About me" page to be relevant to the other pages I changed the background and changed the font of the letters. The background is a video footage that I took last year on a Christmas market at the centre...

  As a session practical exercise we had to brainstorm 20 ideas in 20 minutes It is important that when an artist is generating ideas, he should present a variety of topics  I finished the 20 ideas afterwards and here are the final ideas. Lets go through them together: All the ideas from number one to number seven are Covid-19 related. All this ideas are various things that I think could make a compelling video idea.The other ideas are fun little experiments I want to make. For example ideas like the one with the animated character in real life and the called "Small things that we all do and nobody admits" are some fun concepts for small videos.In this mix there are also some topics that I think can be discussed on a 5 minute long video filled with graphs and examples.This kind of ideas were " The false idea about video games", "Why animals do not have wheels?", "The electricity War" and "The evolution of species".
