Welcome!

Welcome to my blogging site! I have never studied Media Studies before, so I am very excited to learn new things and gain experience of filming and editing. I love music videos and films so; I am interested to learn how they are made. I am looking forward to filming and using a multitude of camera shots to enhance my work. One camera shot I am eager to use is an extreme close up as I think it is used to show an important detail, object, or gesture between characters. Therefore, this will aid me to create an interesting and engaging piece of work as they will zoom into minuscule details that aren’t seen in everyday life. I look forward to create my thriller opening!

For our group, the most important tips we need to follow are checking the locations we want to film so we know it's suitable for our thriller opening. As we are filming outside, we need to plan for the weather as we will want it to be gloomy and foggy. We will need to make a clear list of what props/costumes we will need because we aren't sure of what we will need yet. While shooting, we will need to make sure we stick to the 180 degree rule as in our preliminary task me made this mistake but thankfully we noticed it while we were filming.

Location, location, location!

After planning our storyboard, we looked for suitable locations to film. We decided that for our task, we would use the English storage cupboard as it is easily made dark. This would look good as it will create a mysterious and tense feel to it. It also creates the victim to look even more scared and worried. We also thought by the bully to walk through the corridors, it would show the location and setting. As its about a bully making a girl do homework for her, it would be good to show the school to show the atmosphere. While thinking about the location, we also thought about the en-mise-scene. When the victim is sat waiting for the bully, we thought it would be realistic for the victim to have pencils and pens out with a notepad so it looked like she was doing the homework ready for the bully, unfortunately that wasn't the case...
