Recent Media Studies

I haven’t updated my Blog in AGES and Mr. V’s Friday “study period” didn’t really appeal to me so I thought I should start now.

A couple of weeks ago with Mr. V we were assigned our ‘preliminary task’. This involved making a 30 second piece of film of somebody walking into a room, having a short conversation and then walking out of the room again. This task enabled us to become familiar with the equipment and also ‘Final cut Express’ which we will be using to edit our main pieces of footage in the future.
We were also asked to produce a short storyboard of this footage to show the various shots and angles of the edited footage.
Recently with Mr. V we have been planning the start to a film which we will be filming and editing in groups. The footage can’t be any longer than 2 minutes and we have decided to create a suspense scene using various different shots and angles to help portray this.

Hi Vickie,

It's good to see you posting a quick update, but a little sad that you're only doing it because of the threat of detention!

Given the fact this will be seen by the exam board could I suggest that a 'little and often' is the best approach. After every lesson post some notes, links, photos, or whatever is relevant to the work you are doing, either individually or as a group.

I shall look to reading more from you on a regular basis.
