Week 6

This week we focused on sound and how to set up microphones for different shows. We did lots of different activities such as how to set up the microphones and the type of microphones for things like Mrs Browns Boys and the Radio 1 festival.

Week 5

Today we looked at a selection of clips from films such as se7en and learnt about how the shots are set up and the sound. The cinematography was the main part that we focused on and how the dramatic effects are created.

Week 4

This was our second week with Craig where we were introduced to the DSLR Cameras which are used for photography. We had an exercise which was to go out and take 6 photos of different shot types to create a story. I chose to take photos of a student heading to the canteen and eating some soup.

Week 3

This week we learnt about directing a scene. We were given a script and had to create a scene and a idea for a short film based around this script. It was dialogue between what appeared to be a father and son so in our group we created a short thriller set in a mental hospital which we then presented to the class.

Week 2

Today we learned how to set up the tripods and attach the £6000 cameras. We then went out and practiced filming each other by mainly setting up the frame of the shot and things such as the correct white balance, how to focus on the subject properly and how to frame a shot.
