Preliminary Task

In today's lesson i filmed the preliminary task with tom Sullivan and James Sullivan. For this task we had to think about continuity editing, and make sure the film flowed nicely and didn't look jolty or jumpy. We had to film someone walking into a classroom, sitting down, and then having a conversation. We had to use a range of camera angles and shot types in order to make our film unique and stand out. The editing that we had to do was had to mix and match between the range of shots, so that we had over the shoulder shots, high angle shots and shot reverse shots. Shot reveres shot it useful for conversations as we can see what one character is saying, and when it cuts to the other character, we can see what their reaction is. We also had to consider the match on action, so that at the part when i was drinking the juice, we cut it so that the juice was at the same point from one persepective, as when we changed it, it was at the same point, this was done so the clip was not jumpy or jolty, and so it always looked continuous. We had to consider the mise en scene, so that the audience could really see our location, and so that they would always be able to tell where abouts we were in the shot

EBI induction pack

although i enjoyed the induction pack, i think it would have been better if we had a lot more time on the mac's. as i did not do media or film stuides for GCSE, i have not got a lot of experience on the macs, so when it came to editing our clips that we recorded, i didnt really know what i was doing. also in the induction pack, we should have learnt about syncing clips with the music before we did the push a little button task, this would have made the vidoes look smoother, and much more enjoyable to watch.

WWW induction pack

WWW: during the induction pack, we did many tasks which have helped us progress as media students, however i found the Donnie Darko task the most enjoyable yet challenging at the same time. as this piece required continuity annd clear speech, it enabled us as actors and editors to really engage in our characters when acting, and when filming and editing, we had to think about angles and camera shots. we even thought about the 180 degree rule, and upon breaking it we even showed the camera panning across, to show the breaking of the rule.

this is my first trail on my blog for my media coursework.
