Media Project Week no.1

For our task in our media class we had t0 film and edit a video where a character would open a door, cross the room and sit down in a chair opposite another character(s). The characters would then say a few lines of dialogue, we used such rules as match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180 degree rule.

For this task our class got seperated into random groups of 3 or 4, i was in a group of 4 with Matt Hampshire, Amy Newton and Hannah Thorne. We all made a 10 shot storyboard each, and we decided that Amy's was the best for the actual story and camera angles. We then done an animatic which is where we filmed our drawn out storyboard, this helps us to try and film our video as close to the plan as possible, we didnt have any problems with our filming of the animatic.

We learnt that when we film we should follow certain rules so that our videos could look as professional as possible. Some of the rules where:
180 degree rule
Make sure continuity is used (for example, characters wear the same clothes.)
Making sure cameras and tripods are used correctly.
