Preliminary Task

For our preliminary task we will do a task involving filming which the narrative of the story is a character entering a room a sitting and talking with another character. The commentary will involve a serious meeting in which the employer is late so she rushes down the corridor with comedic music in the background, while the business woman is sitting waiting in the meeting room with serious music.The camera angle we will be using for this moment is the match on action shot which will show the other women rushing down the corridor with a panicked look then opening the door.The shot/reverse shot will be used to show the business women's shocked and confused expression. While the late employer we have a worried and apologetic expression.Another shot will then be used called the 180-degree rule which will be used to show both characters sat in front of each other in conversation. These camera angles flow into one another because it will fit the events happening in each shot.

I am working with Tammy and we have decided that I will be the comedic women while she will be the business women. However, we have yet to decide how we will work the camera other than the match on action shot which Tammy will do. But we will figure it out once we start the task. Once we have done the filming we will upload it to the editing software and begin to edit it.  

As shown below we will have a few lines of dialogue but this may change.
Script:
"Sorry I'm late"
"Are you serious?"

The camera angles are presented as shown in the pictures below:

Shot Types

In this lesson we were told to test out different camera shots.We also had to try and put a storyline to them with.

Establishing shot

This is a establishing shot which is used to set the scene to show where the show is taking place.  The shot would be used during the start of the act to make it clear to the audience where it is taking place, which is shown to be a school

Close up

This is a close up to show how the character is feeling in the current situation and what they may be thinking. In this part of the act the camera shot is used to show that they are trying to hide from the bully and that they are worried what may happen if they are found.   

Long shot

      This is a long shot to show the characters at distance. In this shot the bully is chasing after the victim. This camera angle suits this time in the act is because it shows there whole body and the area that surrounds them. 

Shot/Reverse shot

Shot/Reverse shot

      

      These are both shot/reverse shots which shows conversations between characters. In this part of the act this shows the bully using verbal abuse towards the victim, where the bully is snickering. However the victim is very upset.  

Extreme close up

      This is a extreme close up which is used to show important detail. In this shot it shows an extreme close up of a gesture which is key to the act. In the shot it shows the collision of a fist to a cheek which means the bully has punched the victim. 

Tilt shot

      This is a tilt shot is used to show movement in this act. This shot is used to show that the victim has fallen after being punched by the bully.  

Low shot

  This is a low shot which is used to show a intimidating character and to show power. It is being used in this part of the act to show that the bully has won and got what they wanted from the victim.  I think this because the angle makes it look as though the bully is above everybody else.

My First Blog

Hello and welcome to my first blog I have set up for my AS media studies


I have done some previous editing for my Music GCSE in which I downloaded videos from YouTube, cut and edited the audio clips and added some affects. This took many hours due to it being my first time doing anything like it which may have caused some frustration and shouting at the editing system of mix-craft. However, I learnt a lot and definitely have improved. Well that's what I hope. Which you can see at the top of the page.  

Although I don't really watch television programs or movies often I do watch a lot of YouTube videos and vloggers. Which also use different camera angles for affect but due to it being a custom, viewers tend to forget that they are used for affect.  For example, they can be used in sketches to show the aura of a situation, to show how a certain character feels or their importance e.g a low shot to show the character they play are intimidating. I also watch a lot of anime which uses a lot of media studies techniques although its an animation.  

I am a singer/songwriter so I have a YouTube channel but that has being inactive quite a bit recently due to GCSE'S and I've been busy but this does mean I am quite used to being filmed. However, that does not mean I am comfortable acting because although I've done singing performances, I am very shy and acting to me is different to singing so that may take me awhile to get used to but I will push myself to get used to it.  I am looking forward to learning about editing and how to use the software. 


Thanks for reading!
