Filming !!

so we had our first lesson of filming today
i am in a group with :

• Ana (Acting)
• Hannah  (Acting)
• Zoe (small part also directing)
• And Me i filmed the whole scence

we filmed in the main hall because it was a big open space which is good to film in we used the stage as our main place , we had ana sitting on the stage upset and hannah and zoe walking up towards her and then we filmed on the front of the stage this was a good place to film as we had the front of the stage as our 180 degree line so we couldnt cross it ! we filmed most of our scences today and will be working on editing next lesson if we need to film again we need to think about mis-en-scene within this we need to make sure our postioning is the same out enviroment is the same also our costumes are the same ...

The second of a double lesson

It was our first lesson with Mr Oswick since he came back of paternity leave and we done some key skills on taking notes so we watched Glee series 1 episode 1 and had to take notes on :

• Names of the main characters and brief about who they are
• Note on the plot
• Representations of gender , disability, ethnicity and class
• Themes of glee

we done this exercise to see what our ability was like to take notes down while watching a clip as this is what we will have to do in our main exam !

The first of a double lesson

so today in miss martins lesson we were taking pictures of scene that we had to re-create using props that we had in the classroom. The scenario's we had were a disbrutive lesson, dentist waiting room, busy office and a romantic meal at a restaurant  the ones we found easier to do was the disbrutive classroom and the dentist waiting room as for the classroom it was good as we were in a class room we just had to mess the tables up and position ourselves so we looks disbrutive where as for the office and romantic meal it wasnt the prefect setting!

Kidulthood The first ten mintues what we watched in media

My first post :D

soo thought i would post my first post :) i had media today we learnt key terms in filming in this we learnt different camrea shots which are :

• Close-up
• Meduim shot
• Extreme close-up
• Long shot
• High angle shot
• Low angle shot

We also learnt different camera shots which are:

• Panning
• Tracking
• Zooming

Also the two different types of sound which is diegetic sound and non-diegestic sound the difference between these are non-diegestic sound is added into the film during editing where as diegestic film is in the film so e.g. birds in the background which the charater can hear.

We also learnt about Mise-en-scene which basically means everything that is in a frame so colour,props,set,costumes and lighting these thing are all important in a film and nothing in a film is there by accident mise-en-scene is a broad term coving everything you see in a film.  


near the end of the lesson we had to watch the first ten minutes of kidulthood and analise by looking at

• colour and lighting
• set and props
• costume,hair and make-up
• position of the characters
• facial expressions and boby language
