Evaluation. 15/9/2011

For period 1, we had Mr Barton and we focused solely on the different camera angles and different shots we can get. We learned about Extreme Close Up, Close Up, Mid Shot, Over The Shoulder, Establishing Shot, Two Shot, Full Body Shot. Tracking Shot. We also learned about White Balance, and how to set the focus on cameras. We then split off into groups, in my group was Abbie, Chris & Danica. We had a small scene to shoot, in which Danica & Chris acted, whilst me & Abbie directed/shot. We changed the angles and shots for each little bit. It involved a lot of stopping and starting, which we will edit out next week. For period 2, Mrs Bryant had us create a blog. After a few initial problems involving Google Accounts, we finally made them. For the second part of the lesson, we focused on the opening of thrillers. Our thriller movie, Se7en, had an interesting opening. No dialogue, just with a series of seemingly unconnected scenes. We had to answer questions on voice recordings, something I hate doing, which will be uploaded to this blog later. In my group for this, I was once again with Abbie & Danica but without Chris.
