Media workshop

On the 9th of october we had our re-scheduled(because of fire alarms) media workshop. The day was an incredible experience and a lot of fun! By the end of the day me and my group had completed our continuity excercise. The sequence of our film was a person walking up to a room, opening a door, walking through a door and sitting down opposite someone.
The two people then had a quick conservation and then maybe exchange something. Before we started the excercise we had to make sure that our planning was completed. The planning included thinking about what shots we would use, the dialogue and then creating a storyboard. On the storyboard we included things like camera shot, sound and the shot duration. We included a variety of different shots because we thought it would make the sequence more interesting. After we filmed all of our shots we went onto the apple macs and started to edit our work using a program called imovie, we then put all the different shots in order so the sequence made sense and then we had to cut and edit the shots. Finally we added some effects, credits and music to complete our sequence. Then we had the completed sequence, this day was a lot of fun as well as being educational. I really enjoyed it!!

Media for schools filming day!!

A few weeks ago me and three other people from my media class attented a media filming day at the vale. It was a charity event organised by sony and we were accomponied by media for schools. We took part in fliming the golfers taking there first shot!! another thing we did was two of us were filming the other two of our group interviewing some famous people. We had the chance to interview neil jenkins, ieuan evans and nicky piper!!! Throughout the day we learned how to use and set up the video camera and also how to set up the tri-pod. We also learned more about different camera shots and angles and we all had the chance to ride the golf buggy's. I really enjoyed the day and think that the film will end up looking very proffesional. I would love to have the opportunity to do something similar to this in the future as it has really improved my knowledge and understanding of filming.
