Camera editing task

(01/10/15)

In today's lesson the task was to edit a short clip we had created in groups and then we learnt how to edit our video using Movie Plus editing software. We learnt how to make the clips smaller and quicker, also how to connect scenes together to make them look like they are the same shot, this is known as 'editing'. We took out the parts that were not needed at the beginning or end of the clip to make the scene look natural. This made the clip seem smoother and more connected, making it easier to follow.

Preliminary Task


This is my Preliminary task which is part of my Media Studies coursework. This was completed with my group which consisted of myself, Gwion and Tom. We used a variety of camera shots and angles to try and experience what the different camera angles and shot can do to effect the audience. I think the task went quite well and after looking at our finished clip we now know what we did well and what we can do next time in order to improve. We now also know how to edit a clip to make it look much more smooth and clear to explain what is going on to the audience. I think we worked well as a team but need to use our time much more wisely in order to finish in the allotted time we have. Also, I think we need to plan more beforehand. Below is our finished clip.

Proudction Pitch

(3/12/15)
In today's lesson each group in my media class presented their ideeas for our opening sequence to our main task films. My groups film is a spy, intelligence, action thriller styled film. It is about the British  intelligence at war with foreign excellences. Our opening sequence will open with an agent getting dressed and ready in the morning and then proceeding to a location where he is going to spy on two oversea agents. He is then caught and followed by the two agents. The britsih agent is confronted by the oversea agents where every person in the scene is holding a gun. The screen then goes black and a soundtrack of a gunshot plays. After this sound effect the title of the film will appear on the screen (the title is not certain yet). After our presentaion other groups from our class asked questions about our opening sequence, these questions were regarding about what location and actors we are going to use in our film. The location is hopefully going to be set it Yarnton Village quarry and railway bridge. The actors for our film have not been fully confirmed yet as we want to get the right people.
