This is our first preliminary task
which had to include someone walking through a door and dialogue. In
the first shot we do not show my face which creates suspense for the
audience because they do not know who this person is and we also used
a low angle to make this person look dangerous. On the other hand
Shaiane is shot from a high angle which makes her seem weak and
vulnerable, she also has earphones in which tells the audience that
she will not hear the person walking in behind her. There is a point
of view shot which shows me walking up to Shaiane and this creates
tension for the audience because they know she has her earphones in
and you can hear the music very faintly in the clip. When Shaiane
gets shocked on the shoulders there is a shot of the paint pallet
falling on the floor which has been slowed down the add effect, but
there is also too much focus on this. In this shot Shaiane hasn’t
got her earphones in anymore which is an issue that we found after we
had finished shooting all the scenes and went to edit; the audience
can assume that the earphones fell out when Shaiane got shocked but
this makes the continuity of the clip seem unrealistic. The location
we chose was good in some ways because it was quiet and there was no
noise to disrupt the scenes but ultimately it wasn’t an ideal place
to shoot our preliminary task because we were shooting with the light
behind the action which made Shaiane’s face particularly dark while
my face was facing the light and therefore the contrast was very
noticeable. After shooting and editing this and looking at the things
we could improve in the clip we decided to do another preliminary
task.

Match on Action
This is our first task we did as a
group which we each edited. We had to include someone sitting down
and standing up, someone walking up the stairs, someone turning pages
on a book and a movement of our own choice to show our understanding
of match on action. The first movement of someone sitting down and
standing up flows well and also the dropping of the bag looks
realistic but we needed to get more footage of the turning of the
book because there is a gap where the book is open and then it goes
straight into the page is already half turned which doesn’t look
like a continuous movement. The person walking along the railing
flows well but the gap between when he jumps of the railing and when
he lands on the floor is a bit too long. In the shot of the person
sitting in the chair and then running up the stairs we had some
issues about the light, there is too much natural light which means
that the continuity from shot to shot was bad. We had to edit the
colour of one shot because the light was too dark and the shot before
that was quite light.

Representation of Hip Hop CD Cover
The target audience for this CD would
be for boys aged around 20 years old. You can tell this by the artist
on the front who seems to be around that age. You can tell that this
is a hip hop album because of the writing used which looks like
graffiti. The writing colour is also telling the audience that this
man on the front cover is wealthy because of the way it reflects
which represents his money and that he can afford expensive chains or
jewellery.The expression on the artists face is
also a way to tell what genre this music will be. He is looking
directly at the audience which makes them feel vulnerable and that he
is in control. He is also looking down slightly which shows that a
low angle shot was used to make him seem powerful. He is also wearing
a bright orange coat and on the shelves in the shops this album cover
will stand out.The background is of lots of lights and
he is wearing a NY hat which indicates that he is in New York which
is where lots of successful artists are from. On the other hand, it
is also night which represents the artist to be the kind of person
who is around on the streets at this time. There is also a police car
with its sirens on which shows that this artist gets into trouble a
lot, this also tells you which genre the music is going to be.Monday, 10 October 2011
Camera Movement - Mounted Camera Tilt
A mounted camera tilt is when you move
the camera up or down, without lowering or raising the position of
the camera. This is like panning, only it is done vertically. This
video camera technique is used to follow the subject that you are
photographing, or to show the viewer a large object from top of
bottom - or from bottom to top.
Camera Movement - Mounted Camera pan
Mounting the camera on a tripod, simply
move the camera horizontally from left to right. Pan shots are used
to show the viewer more of the scenery. This technique is also used
to show views from high places, such as overlooks. Pan shots should
begin with a still shot, then pan, then finish with a still shot.
Camera Movement - Dolly
This is when a camera is mounted on a
cart which travels along tracks for a smooth movement. This is also
known as tracking shot or trucking shot. Most professional film
studio dollies have a hydraulic arm that raises or lowers the camera
on a vertical axis. When a dolly grip operates a dolly on
perpendicular axis simultaneously, it is known as a compound move.

Camera Movement - Mounted Camera Pedestal
This video camera technique is the
opposite of the tilt technique. You do not tilt the camera, but you
either raise or lower the position of the camera. This technique is
simply used to get the proper view that you are looking for.
