Storyboard

Our storyboard is fairly detailed to show the basic story of our preliminary task.
Although some of the shots have changed slightly like the last shot for example has slightly altered to what we actually did, we did this because we believe it was more effective to have a shot of the other persons face than the distraught person because it leaves the audience wanting more and on a cliff-hanger. We felt that the shots we used were useful to give a detailed understanding of our preliminary task, using a range of shots to complete this.
I felt our storyboard was useful in the fact, we kept referring back to it whilst filming to either alter or double check our preliminary task was exactly the way we wanted it to be.

ANGLE SHOTS.

Here is an ECU also known as a extreme close up. It is classed extreme because it is focused on just one part of the body.

 Here is three angle shots, this shows Rachael using the same action but from three different camera angles. 


This is a two shot where two people are in the scene at once.

 This is an establishing shot, this shows where the scene is set.

 

This is a point of view shot, this shows what I am able to see and how I am feeling based on Rachael's facial expressions.

First Task For AS Media.

We have been set a task to create a short video of someone entering a room, walking across it and having a short conversation with another person in the room. We will be using different angle shots including, match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule, this will keep continuous movement throughout the scene and build our experience using, editing and create short films.





180-degree rule

 Is a basic guideline regarding the on-screen spatial relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene.

Hello and welcome to my blog!:-)


My name is Charlotte and I am a year 12 Media student. Although I have never studied media before I believe that I will enjoy the subject and find it fun and very interesting. I enjoy singing, dancing, acting and playing guitar. I am interested in media and filming; I like to create and edit videos and make them interesting and fun to watch. I have never made a ‘proper’ video before so this gives me the chance to try and be professional about it. I am looking forward to creating exciting, interesting things that you will all enjoy watching.
