Mac 5 First Vlog!

So we've been put into our groups that we will make our films with and have been given our equipment - Camera. Charger & Tripod!

Here is our groups first vlog together....

My First VLOG!

Better late then never - here is my first vlog (or as I named it "my first blog" oops!)...


After filming this about 4 times before being happy with it....I've realised that "cool" is the word of the video!! Cool is what it is not.

One down, many more to come!

Prelim Task Research - Camera Angles

Before we take part and film our prelim task, I though it was best to look up the different types of camera angles that we will need to include…

1.       Match on Action Shot.

2.       180 Degree Rule.

3.       Shot/Reverse Shot.

Shot reverse shot (or shot/countershot) is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.

Examples:

   

First Go at Storyboards

In class, we watched a short clip of Series 3 Episode 1 of Luther. We then used the clip to start practing how to plan and construct storyboards that will help us later on in the course.

Favourite Actor (Female)

My favourite female actor has to be Sophia Bush. I first watched her in the TV series One Tree Hill  where she played "Brooke Davis" for more than 8 seasons and have loved her acting ever since. Sophia has also starred in John Tucker Must Die & Chalet Girl. Along with her acting talents, she does a lot of charity work which also is a contributor for why she is my favourite female actor overall.

 

Favourite Actor (Male)

My favourite male actor has to be Channing Tatum. The first film I watched that he starred in was Step Up. His other films include - 22 Jump Street, The Vow, Dear John and She's the Man among other great films. I love the way he protrays his characters and how dedicated he comes across to his roles.

Favourite Film...

There are so many films that I love to watch and right now I don't think I could choose a definite one.
Although "The Princess Diaries 2" has to be my all time favourite! This is my all time favourite as it was one of the first films that i remember watching when I was younger and it holds lots of memories for me!

Using the Mac

Today was my first Media lesson. Previous to this lesson, I had only used a mac once but today was the first time properly using the internet on it! Using blogger was also a new experience to me, and with all the shortcuts on the mac it made it alot easier for me to enter stuff into my blog!
