Editing

When it came to editing our Primilinary Task things went downhill, part of our film was missing. It took a while for us to put our film onto the computer to edit, which meant we had less time to edit our film.


Me and Hannah came back after school to see if we could fix the problems but we found out we might have to upload our film all over again and start editing from scratch. I think we came across these problems because we were new to the equipment and didn't know how to use it all properly.


For our next task me and Hannah are going to make sure we spend more time editing the film and also learn how to use the equipment properly before rushing into things to make sure we can meet the deadline.

Primilinary Task

Me and Hannah used two of our friends for our Primilinary Task, we used Chris and Tara. We all came back after school hours to record the film, me and Hannah had a change of plan and based our film in a dark classroom with a light just outside the door to make the film look effective when Chris came through the door.


To make the convosation more interesting in the film we used different ways of saying things, I.E. for Tara we got Chris to talk to make her look more powerful. In our Primilinary Task we had to use methods such as the 180 degree rule, also to use the overview shot. When Chris and Tara were having their convosation we used the overview shot to make the convosation more effective.


Me and Hannah also used different angle shots such as low and high angle representing who is more powerful throughout the film Chris or Tara.

Camera lesson

For this lesson we got into groups to discuss what we were going to do for our Primilinary Task, In my group it is just me and Hannah F. After me and Hannah discussed what we had in mind for our Primilinary Task we were given a camera, a stand and a tape. We went around school to investigate how to use the camera and what techniques we were going to use.


For our Primilinary Task me and Hannah came up with a horror type of scene. We were going to base the film in a dark cupboard to make the film look for effective.

My third lesson

Lesson three we had to complete a task in groups, We were given a statement by Mrs.Martin such as
''A busy dentist waiting room'' also ''A romantic meal for two in a restaurant''. We had to change the setting of where we were going to take the picture from, we had to use props to make the picture look more realistic. We also had to think about the different camera shots and angles we were going to use. For this task I worked with Hannah F, Charley, Hannah E, Ana and Zoe.

My second lesson

We watched Kidulthood to see the different camera shots and camera angles that were used. We learnt about how a typical teenager is represented. I.E. hoodies, swearing, smoking, violence.
The beginning of Kidulthood

My first lesson

My first media lesson with Mrs.Martin, we learnt different definitions of different camera shots and angles such as..


Mid shot- Shows some part of the subject in more detail while still giving an impression of the whole subject.


Close up- A certain feature or part of the subject takes up the whole frame.


Two shot- A shot of two people, framed similarly to a mid shot.


^these are only some of the camera shots I learnt. I also learnt some different camera angles such as..


High angle- The camera is elevated above the action using a crane to give a general overview.


Low angle- A camera positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below the eyeline, looking up.


^these are only some of the camera angles I learnt.
