Preliminary Task
My First ever practical task will consist of me using camera and editing skills, as I will be filming and editing a short video which involves a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. In this video there will be two characters; the first character is Eloise who will be entering the room and sitting down and the second character will be Leah, who will already be sat in the room. This means I will not be acting in this video, but instead i will be doing the filming of it!
The video will include match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180 - degree. The match on action shot will be used on Eloise when she opens the door and crosses the room, as this shot gives the impression of continuity. The shot/reverse shot will be used on both Eloise and Leah to show the two having a conversation. Finally we will use the 180-degree rule which helps the viewer see where everything is in the scene, including the characters.

In the video we are making it a thriller theme to go with the mysterious story of line of a woman who's son went missing two years ago. We will use spotlight's on the two characters with a dark background to create a feeling thriller.

FirstBlog
Hi bloggers!
So this is my first blog AND my first time doing media studies. I am really excited I have to say because from what I've heard from other people, it seems really fun and interesting.
I'm mostly excited about editing and using all new programs I've never used before but I'm not the best at acting so maybe that'll be somewhere I can improve on throughout this course... I hope.
At the moment I'm really taking an interest to horror and action films, they're just really intriguing and interesting (in my opinion), but I do tend to change my mind with genres and jump from comedy to thriller to action etc.
Also I'm a twitter addict so i'll always be on twitter and you'll be able to find me on other social medias! I'm mainly just on there to see what Justin (bieber of course) is up to!
That's all there is to know about me and my interests with media.
Happy blogging!
