Evaluation of Perlemary Task

My group and I had to create and edit part of a movie clip. In this Task my group and I had to do an action shot which was the actor walking though the door, we also had to do a shot reverse shot which was the camara looking at one person and then looking at the other person talking then back to the first person talking, aswell as that we had to use the 180 dergress rule. We used recording camras to film the clip and lap tops with special program called pinnacle. Doing this task I learnt different skills on how to use a camara and the different views that you can use. I also learnt different techniques on how to edit a film on pinnacle. 

Aswell as that I learnt different camara shots such as, Long, short, close, Wide and two person shots. I also learnt angles of shots, like low angle shot, which makes some one look powerful, opposite to that there is the high angle shot which makes the actor/ actress look less powerful or even vunrable. Another angle is tilt which can reacts with the audiace, what the tilt does is makes the audiance seem awquard. 

I also learnt Camara movement, such as Pan, pan is when it stays in one spot and only moves up and down, another camara movement is Track this movement is when the camara is on a track and moves along it. Crab is a camara movement what happens in this movement the camara stays at a certain hight and then moves side to side. 

Editing my film was really difficult, what I found most difficult was cutting this was because my group and I had to cut it on the rite second. But I did learn how to load my film, from the Camara. I also learnt how to add titles and even though we didnt use credits I learnt how to use them. I also now know how to use the sound clips on  pinnacle. 

Problems we had when filming the problems we had when filing was finding a room we spent most of the lessons trying to find a free room at school, so by the time we started filming, a class for the next lesson would appear so we had to find another room, this caused use to have to redo the film from the begging.  
 

Planning

I believe that planning to make a film is important, as it helps people understand what they doing. Planning also helps you to improve the film make it more interesting. Planning for a film helps decide what you want to do and what other people want to do.  Some people say if you fail to plan you plan to fail.
  I also think that planning is important as it tells every one who is involved in the filming and editing, what must be done and how it must be done. For example if we started film we wouldnt know where to start, what we need to improve and how we would film.

Why I chose Media Studies

I had chosen media studies as it involves using computer programs such as movie maker. We also will be using video camras and acting. I am the kind of person who likes to act so I think this is a brilliannt A level to chose. In this lesson we design, I come across as a creavtive person so designing is right up my alley. I belive that I will like Media Studies, even though it has alot of writting in it.
