Preliminary task

Hello,




For our upcoming preliminary task we will be demonstrating different types of camera shots and angles through a process which contains planning, filming and editing.



Match on action - This mean that the perspective of the camera changes during a scene and the scene
then continues to flow.



Reverse shot - This is a type of camera angle in which the shot views the action from the side of the
previous shot. This will usually be used during conversations between two people, this gives the effect of one actor looking at the other.




180 degree rule - This means that in a scene the camera should stay within 180 degrees on one side
of the 'invisible line'. If this rule is broken then it could result in confusion for the viewers.


My group consists of three people, those three people are Daniel Haywood who will be in front of the camera but will also contribute to the things behind the camera. Dane Buckley will be more behind the camera and myself will be contributing more in front of the camera, but everyone will contribute to something during the preliminary task.

Camera Shots and Practice

About a week ago, myself and my group went out into different sections of the school of our choice.
Below is the photographs of our group's camera shots, there is a variety of angles and effects which
may explain the angles better. Feel free to have a look at the PowerPoint!

First Media Blog!

Hello world, my name is Daniel Winn, I am 16, English and this is my media studies blog. My task is to explain to everyone a little bit about me as a person in this blog as well as a few extras. The reason as to why I like media studies is because it is one of the stand out subjects, it's different to most subjects because you learn about technology in a interesting way. I have little knowledge about media studies but I'm sure that will change as time goes by.

Action films are within my highest interest because they keep my attention. The Fast and Furious series would be my personal favourite if I had to choose because me growing up as a kid I always had an obsession with cars and so as I grew older the first Fast and Furious film came out, it just matched everything I was and still into, it's been a favourite of mine for a long time! If you have not seen any of these film series I would strongly suggest you give it a chance. What would is yours? and why?  

The things I'm looking forward to the most would be my football season starting and also the NBA regular season beginning, the two best sports from my own opinion. The most nervous thing coming up is most likely my driving test but if not that then my flying lesson for sure but nerves aren't usually a problem in my case because of my characteristics.

I'm Daniel Winn and this is my first media studies blog.
