The Preliminary Task

With Myself, Abi, Chantelle and Kim.

The Preliminary Task-

Our first preliminary task had lots of errors and other problems during the recording. We did not notice them until we were editing our video.

Our first error we found was that while we were filming a lawn mower was in the background, and it was really loud during our filming, so you cant hear some speech as much. Also as we where cutting it together the sound of the lawn mower seemed far away in other shots.

Then while we were editing we spotted that we can see our 'camera man' in the reflection of the window, so its a big error.

So how will we sort out the problem???

If we re-film we will do it indoors, so any sound outdoors will be less noticeable, and we wont have wind as a noise.

Also we will change the angle of where our 'camera man' will be so we wont get the reflection of the window.

Things we learnt-

We learnt something called the 180 degree rule. This is where the camera has to be on one side so the camera wont be if different places for each shot. Also we learnt shot-reverse-shot, this is what we used when the conversation was taking place. Finally we learnt match on action, this is where we got the door opening matching on each shot.

Mini film planning

My film idea

Who's Next?-

Our soon to be shot movie!
Group-
Megan (Myself) as Scarlet
Kimberley as Casey
Chantelle as Eva
Abigail as Riley

We are doing a new film called whos next, with myself and friends.
In the first 2 minutes of the film (what we need to film) we are all getting ready for a party. We start of with me, putting on make-up, with a figure standing in my door way, the figure is a male with a hoodie on holding a knife in my house.
Then it shoots to my friends who will also being putting on makeup and putting on dresses. Then Eva is all ready and wants to call everyone to see if everyone is ready. She calls Riley and Casey, a three way call. Then Eva calls Scarlet, we zoom in on the phone ringing but I be dead on the bed, seeing the killer walk away with a bloody knife.
Then the title will come up 'Who's Next?' and it will cut to Eva, Riley and Casey.

Institution

Institution-

Institution is something that controls a way of how we live and the rules that we follow. For example school is another huge Institution, we follow their rules and how we live.
But no only is our social lives are around Institution, its our free time, what movies we watch and what music we listen to, it all one company! So for example SONY owns all little companies such as Colombia films.
So its like Conglomerate, a company which owns more than one type of media.
Also institution is something we grow up with its what we know best. So for example we know Walt Disney as princesses and Happily ever afters, but when Walt Disney wants to go and create a new type of film without soiling their known Fairy Tales stories, they just make a new company with a new name. So everything that we watch and listen to, its all connected to one big Media Company.

So Walt Disney is the one of the biggest companies in the world!

Other companies Disney own-

Walt Dinsey Pictures

Pixar

Touchstone Pictures

Marvel

History Channel

Miramax films
