Today was our fourth lesson of Media Studies. In previous lessons we have learned to use the digital equipment that we will be recording with, and got used to the different types of shots that we can use whilst filming or taking photographs.
Me, Alex and Lauren worked together in a group to create a short film showing the different types of shots we could use to show that we understood them, and we did this during lesson time around the school. In our two lessons today we learned a bit more about the 180 degree rule and began to think how we would put this into practise in a short film.
We created and used a rough storyboard to help us plan and show how our film will run, deciding on filming two people playing cards, and using different shots and angles from within the 180 degree area to show the people. We then took still photos that we will later insert into a storyboard on the Mac computers before we continue to film our piece.
When taking the still photos, we quickly began to get a good idea of what angles worked well and showed what we were aiming to achieve with our film, however we also learned what angles did not work as well as we thought they would, and how we could improve these shots by repositioning. An example of this is when we were trying to show a picture of the top of my playing cards, with the camera positioned over my shoulder, whilst also including Alex's 'poker face' in the shot.
In the next few lessons we hope that we will progress to finish our storyboards and begin to film our short piece.
Bye for now! x
