Thriller

Preliminary Video

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

This was the second recording in media studies done in a group of three with one filming while the other two act. It is basically a boy walking down a corridor walking into a room, zooming in on his shoes while he walks, sitting down then talking to a girl with over shoulder shots and making use of the 180 degrees rule.

My skills have improved in using a camera, underestanding different shots (such as long shots, close-ups, birds-eye view and worms-eye view, camera angles, the 180 degrees rule and film editing). Difficulties included using a camera as it was my first time operating a proffessional recording/filming camera and the way it needed to be set up, turned on and how to properly put the tape in was new to me.
