The Begining of Filmaking
The first week of the course has been fun and interesting, we have learned new skills including basic editing, controlling the camera and making our own short film. During this week we have worked in groups and we have made friends and we have all worked really well as a team.
On the first day we learnt about our first major project of the year. The project is a Christmas advert, we then researched different Christmas adverts that we remembered. We studied the adverts and created a power point about the chosen Christmas advert. Me, Joe and Kai worked on the 2015 John Lewis advert 'The man on the moon'. We focused on the message of the advert and how it connected with us as the viewer. We also wrote about the different techniques they used to make the audience feel sympathy for the characters in the advert.
On the second day we learned the basics of using a camera, including putting a battery, headphones and microphones in the camera. We then split into two groups and filmed a scene which was going to be an intense conversation. In my group there was me, Kai , Sam and James. As a group we wrote a short script and we based our story as a bank robbery gone wrong. We filmed the scene me and Sam were the actors and Kai was on camera and James was the director. Once we finished filming we learnt how to edit, when editing it was a lot of trial and error. Once we got the hang of editing we cut all the clips together and added gangsta music for the opening and the end. We then presented our final scene to the class and they showed us there scene.
On the third day, we split of into the same teams as before and our task was to create a short 2 minute horror short film. We then brainstormed different ideas and once we had a story we began to write a short script. Once we had a script we grabbed a camera and found a good location to film and we began filming. It was fun working with the same team as the day before because it allowed us to work better as a team.
