Editing
After uploading our slightly more successful film to the iMac, we began editing.
This included cutting certain bits between shots, and incorporating transitions such as fading in and out.
We also added credits at the beginning and end of our film, along with audio imports to make it more interesting.
The editing took a lot less time than anticipated and we were all really pleased with the end result.
It wasn't until we watched the finalised film that we really looked at the shots we used, and they were actually all very effective. Especially the over the shoulder shots, which added intensity to the scenario as this was the part which had the speech. Other effective shots included the pan shot of Alex walking through the door and over to the table, and the zoom shot at the end when Rachel takes the winnings from the middle of the table.
All in all, my group and I are extremely happy with what we have done.

Action!
The stills we took last week have been uploaded and made into a storyboard. However, we had to take additional stills as there were some things we had missed out that were vital to the filming (e.g. shots of alex walking through the door).
After producing the final storyboard my group and I thought we were on task and began filming. I was behind the camera and Rachel and Alex were in front of it. I thought we had all done rather well for our first time until we discovered that I hadn't recorded any of it...
I like to see it as a learning curve...
Today's lesson went a lot smoother. We were more prepared with our props and found a location in the school where there were no interruptions, therefore allowing the filming process to run a lot faster.
We got as far as uploading our footage onto the iMac and we shall begin editing next lesson :-)

Storyboard
In this lesson, we were set the task of filming a scene for 30 seconds, using the 180◦ rule.
We have not yet filmed with the video camera.
However, we made a mock storyboard outlining what we intended to do.
The scenario we chose was a game of poker, with two people, one at either end of the table. We thought this would be particularly good to use the 180◦ rule.
After making the mock storyboard we then proceeded to take stills to make an actual storyboard. We will not be able to upload these stills until next lesson but my group and I have already started on this.
Bye!

First blog
my first blog ever!
Yesterday was my first ever media lesson. We practised some basic shots with the cameras around the school - a really fun way to start the course! Looking forward to filming some more.
Throughout the course of filming I will be blogging what I have done.
Enjoy!
