Main Task Brief

In last weeks lesson, we were told about the main task that we will have to do for the course. In this task we will have to show what we have learned this year so far such as sound, camera shot and types of editing. When there is an idea of what to do for the task we will have to write a script, draw out a story board, find out characters and costume and props and location, what type of sound we will add in and the the camera shots and angles that we will use. Below is a description of what we have to do:

Main Task

Preliminary Task

Below is are preliminary task produced by me, Sophie and Cleo. It is a short video between our actors Ricky and James discussing the homework that one of them has forgotten. Camera shot we have used are panning of James walking to his seat, 180 degree rule and zoom. Instead of using the zoom next time it would be better to use a dolly shot and planned the angle better between the conversation.

Foley and Sound Effects

This is a video on the Introduction of Foley and Sound Effects. In this video it involves the history of Foley, how some sound effects are created and the names of types of sound effects. 

Preliminary Task

Before the half term we were given a camera and a tripod. We were taught how to use this equipment and how to use it for different camera angles and shots. Next we had to find the location to film, get people to be in the video, draw a story board, write a script, to make sure we had the correct props and to check the equipment was working. We then had to film someone walking through a door, sitting down then having a conversation. During the lesson we were told to leave time while filming and not start filming as soon as the person was walking or talking as it wouldn't leave enough space to be able to edit. We had also been told to film the shot more than once, this had been because if there had been something wrong we would have the other clip to use just in case. After we had done this we were then ready to edit it after the half term.
