Year 13 Media Studies

On our first lesson back we put ourselves into groups of max 5 people and and were given the task to create a short movie between 5-10 mins long. The movie had to be a meeting of any kind whether it be a business meeting, or meeting with a friend etc.

As preparation our homework was to write up a script and draw up a storyboard for the movie. We also had to think about what specific shots were going to be used.

On the second lesson back we were to go off and find a suitable place around the school without disturbing people to film our movie.

We went with what was drawn in the storyboard, using kodak flip film cameras and a tripod to keep the camera steady for clearer shots.

For the first movie my role was to act where I didn't have to worry much about the technical side.

In the second short film I was filming, so therefore I had to think carefully about:

• The type of shot.
• How long the shot will go on for. 
• Carefully position the people within the shots.
