Beth Allen(2016) AS Media Studies

Hi Everyone!   we've been given a preliminary task, which is to film a short piece of footage between 1 minute and 1 minute 30 seconds and it must involve someone walking through a door and sitting down and have a conversation with another person. My group is Myself, Eleanor, Grace and Tahlia. We all have different roles so mine and Eleanor's is be the directors and sort all the filming out and editing and grace and tahlia are our actors! so today we filmed for the first time, it was so stressful we got the camera onto this setting and we had no clue how to get it back to normal, but all we ended up having to do was flick a leaver and we were sorted! we've started filming our short story which is looking good so far! Its looking really good and we are getting sorted with the props and where we need to be but it all takes time. The story line which we are trying to create is that a drug addict is walking into a dirty dark room and sitting down but as they walk...

Hello Everyone! This is a video of a fake sword fight between Tahlia and Grace, Tahlia gets killed and grace is the killer. I wasn't doing media at this time so I didn't do any of the filming.

                              This is a close up shot because you can see the facial expressions. This may be used when a scene is really intense and the facial expression can get across some information to the viewer.                                      This is a establishing shot because it sets the scene. Which may be important when needing the viewer to realise something about where the scene is set or being filmed.                                       This is a long shot ...

Welcome! My names Beth and I'm new to blogging and Media studies all together. I chose media because it's almost like everything I love about TV all rolled into one! I love finding out the different shot angles and how different scenes are filmed and how they appear to be set in somewhere on the other side of the world to where they are actually filmed! I don't really have a lot of experience in filming and camera shots so its going to be difficult to learn it all and take everything on board but im sure it will become easier as time goes on! I cant wait to film and edit my 2 minute thriller film that's going to be the best part!
