First Evaluation Vlog

This is a little snip of what we have been doing so far... The beginning has been cut of but it basically introduces that i'm doing AS media and that we have started looking at camera angles ect.

Pete's Blog

Found that the examiner, Pete has posted a really interesting post about pitching a film idea in no more than 25 words. Wondered if when our films are finished we would be able to do this.
His blog can be viewed in my "extra websites" section if you wanted to check it out.

Editing

We finished editing both our outtakes from our preliminary exercise as well as our first practice film using the flip. We found both to be very amusing to film, but even funnier to edit.

Tripod/Dolly

Whilst working on my prezi for Mrs Fitzjohn, i came across this video which i thought would come in handy when filming.

Camera shots, Angle, Movement and Composition

Media: camera shots, angles, movements and compositions on Prezi

This is my presentation of the different types of Camera shots, Angles, Movements and Compostions for Mrs Fitzjohn's lesson. I hope it is useful.

Finished Prelim

This is our fisrt piece of media work, fully edited and complete. Filming went really well and I think the editing went well too but there're parts were it could have gone smoother. I think that we included some really good camera angles and stuck to the 180 degree rule, it would have been better if we had gotten more shots like maybe a birds eye view shot or even attempted to track when sophie walked through the door. We didnt pay too much to the mise en scene which didn't effect the prelim too much because after all it is our first piece of work, however in future films I think that we should take extra care and pay more attention to our surroundings.

I was watching "Angus, thongs and perfect snogging" the other day and found the opening to be really good. There're some really interesting camera angles and i especially liked this one shot were the female charcter is running in an olive costume between two old people, its from a birds eye view angle and i thought it was a really clever idea for a shot.
