Explain what a location release form and why is it needed for filming?

This is an agreement between the person in charge of the property/location and the person wanting to use this. It is important, as a location cannot be used unless it has been given permission for. It also protects the owner, as in it ensures that they are compensated for if anything is to get damaged.

What is a contributor release form and why is it required?

This is permit that must be obtained for ones film/music video/production to be released. Without it, it will not be published. One is also very unlikely to be authorised to enter the Film National Competition without the contributor release form.

User Generated Video 2

This is my second User Generated Video, from two very amusing elderly couple.
In this video, they are trying to work a web cam, which they think, is not working. Much to their  surprise, it have been all the entire time and captured footage of them that they'd probably not want on the internet, such as the man saying 'if you drop your top a little bit, they can see you boob'. That part particularly made me laugh.

The media platform used is just the internet, however with 8,641,611 views alone, they are a hit.
what sells this video, is their innocence. It's very cute, endearing and captivating to watch. Evidently, they are a couple that love each other very much, even though they've obviously been together for so long.
Again, like the first video, I feel that the target audience for this clip is board. It relates to anyone that everyone, apart from very young children.
Considering it's amateur form, the video is well presented. The editing is easily understandable.

User Generated Video 1

This is video has hit the nation by storm. With 380,551,583 views, its pretty evident that it has been very popular.

The video, sees a pair of brothers on an ordinary day, which is about to take a turn for the worst...When charlie, bits his big brother. I feel that this video has been popular due to the elder's brothers reaction to charlie biting his finger. Although a normal unprofessional production initially, it has been used by many people and been turned into different things. My favorite, is the video above. It's a remix of the original and I think it's absolutely amazing.

The media platform that it uses, is that of internet (youtube) and music (mp3). People can now download this remix as a file in mp3 format.

I feel the target audience is universal, for the simple reasons such as it appeals to everyone. People with children, will chuckle at this video, as they may be able to relate to it as they'll have children of their own.
I feel that the editing in the video, baring the fact that it is a user generated video into consideration; it's very well done. The video is clear to understand and the sound is hearable.

Shooting Script for my Video Profile.

Hello, and welcome to my own show called ‘We Talk Too Much’. In attempt to promote myself as an inspiring Journalist, I have decided to interview Daniel Casey. He has just created, produced and directed a short film called ‘My Video Profile’ In his film he demonstrates he’s passion for horror films, and scares the audience with it. With scenes from classic films such as Insidious, The fourth kind and plenty more, this short by terrifying film, has proved to be a hit.	Wide side of me sitting on the chair, with a microphone in my hand, and headphones on around my ears.
Ruth: Afternoon Daniel and welcome to the show. Daniel: Thank you for having me, I’ve heard great things. Ruth: Thank you. You’re too kind. Let’s get straight to the point. Your film; I absolutely love by the way, but what made you come up with such a storyline?	Over the shoulder shot from Daniel to me, however, in a medium close up.
Daniel: I’ve always enjoyed watching horror films, so I wanted to see if I was capable of creating something that’s half as good as the movies I’ve been fortunate to watch. Ruth: I see. So what is it about horror films that say… ‘Floats your boat’ then? And would you say you’re like a macho man then (laughs) Daniel: (Laughs) I do get scared. I’m not going to sit here and deny that. But for me it’s all about the scare factor. I feel that a good horror film, should keep you on the edge of  your seat.	Wide shot of Daniel and I sitting down opposite each other. Microphone coming back and forth between us. Close up on Daniel’s face when answer some questions put to him
Ruth: That’s very interesting. Talk me through you chosen scenery. Its every unusual, wouldn’t you say? Daniel: I wanted to replicate in my film some of the wonderful things that I had seen in some of my favorite movies. Being able to incorporate, a graveyard scene like that of Friday the 13th was amazing. Ruth: Which director would you say has inspired you the most and why? Daniel: Steven Spielberg. Some of his films have been my favorites like, E.T. Ruth: So what’s the next project on the cards for you then? Daniel: Well, right now; if I’m honest with you, I have nothing planned. However, I do know whatever it is; it’s going to be better than this.	Wide shot of Daniel and I on screen. Pan shot of just Daniel talking, and then back to me. Medium shot of both of us. Zoom out in a long shot , and finally close up of me.
Ruth: finally, where would you like to see yourself in 10 years time: Daniel: I see myself writing and directing more amazing films. Having some top names acting in my productions and having my films being watched in the cinemas. How’s that for ambitious aye? (Laughs)	Over the shoulder shot, from Daniel to me . Over the shoulder, close up shot of Daniel answering and finally close u of Daniel,
