We were set a home learning task ,we were given the title and we then had to come up with ten frames in a story board of what the accident could be my story board resulted in a car crash.


In the lesson we had to use our story boards to create a short film called the accident ; how ever as my story board was based on a car accident, it would be highly inappropriate to try and rein-act such a scene; so we came up with a new concept. we replaced the car crash with someone falling down the stairs carefully. before we could start filming we had to plan what type of shots each frame would be how and where we were going to film it and who was going to be doing what ;in addition we also had to make a story board which consisted of each frame .

We decided to film it in the park block as the park block has loads of staircases which all look similar so there could be some continuity .

the evaluation of the task

In class we had to experiment with different camera shots, the ones we observed were nose room and head room and two shot. we were shown what was bad head room and what was good head room the same was done for the other two. we then had to experiment with the camera and produce what we had learnt .

We produced bad head room and good head room and bad nose room and good nose room

we found out that bad head room is when there is too much space above the person's head or if the space is too little and good head room is when there is not too much and not too little
we also found out that good nose room is where there is a reasonable amount of distance between the persons nose .

short films

in class we were given the task to record a short film based on a random selection of camera movements that we had to select at random . the three that i selected was: discovery , crane up expression and dramatic angle and from the three i chose discovery .

discovery includes any shot that begins away from the action and then a camera movement reveals the scene

my scene began with the door to the sixth form office i then moved with the camera to reveal that someone was waiting anxiously outside of the sixth form office which could suggest that she was in trouble etc.

from the lesson i learned what a discovery shot is and i learned how to set up a camera stand :D
i think that the task went well after 2 takes i got the shot i was looking for to improve the video i would have had less unwanted movement of the camera like the shaking but that requires practice

the trucker

class we were asked to complete a story board in pairs using the ideas of a trucker , a picnic and a family .

My story board depicted a mysterious truck driver ; who was nervously driving down a mountain/hill . Near the mountain/ hill were the family enjoying their picnic together. untill it was disturbed by the truck driver who was involved, in an accident near the family. Moments after the family attended to the driver it is revealed to the audience why the truck driver was nervous ;as he was carrying a dead body in the back, of his truck . it then went back into time to tell the viewers what had happened .

i think the story line was creative and suited the thriller theme that i was going for. The pictures drawn gave basic detail to what i was trying to convey through . i think i fulfilled the brief given to us . to improve or better the story board i could have used more of a range of camera angles or focuses so i could really show what was going on in more detail .

After the story board was completed we then uploaded them, to a software to create a short movie

I think the choice of music used was effective as again it highlighted my theme / genre however the space / duration between the clips were too long and to improve it i should have shortened them but this could have been down to me being unfamiliar with the software that we were using

boredom

The pictures are showing a child who is bored usually a child should be bubbly and playful so it is a contrast to a child's normal setting
i gave direction to my sister to put on a bored expression so the emotion is conveyed in her face she is sitting that way so the boredom is conveyed in a body language
i had her sitting behind a door so that she looks cornered . This picture could depict a child being disciplined for misbehaving. In the second photo it shows her reflecting on what she has sone
