Video work

In my media lesson on 16th September 2008, we were set a task which involved using the cameras. This task involved us being able to shoot different shot sequences in a a continuous sequence. Firstly we had to decide on what to base our films on. After a short but overall unanimous vote, our class decided to do 'Receiving our exam results'. We were put into groups of three in which one person acted whilst the other two directed and filmed the sequence. Our group of three was Kwame, Katie and me; Kwame acting, Katie directing and me filming. We were hen given a camera to start our filming. We went to the common room to film the scene where Kwame receives his results from the office. For this shot we used a close-up of his face and a medium shot above his waist. We tried to do a close up of Kwame opening the results but the camera was very hard to position and was very hard to adjust the zoom just right. We had little time left so we did one final shot of Kwame coming out of the office and opening the results. We then headed back to class. In class, we decided to show the final scene to the whole class. Overall the activity in which we filmed was very successful due to our determination and immense courage!
