Today we talked more about our film openings as a group and came up with a few ideas. We thought it would be good to have a black and white shot on the main character and colour on the rest of the people in a busy location, to put the focus on the main character.

Today in Media we practised an exam question which wasn't as bad as I thought, and we also completed our three treatments.

Here are our three treatments:

Romance: When the wind is blowing in your face and the whole world is on your case, Georgia Banton and Luke Brown will always have each other come what may.

Scary: Everybody has walked home at night, but what would you do when the voices in your head no longer want to be ignored? Laugh? Cry?

Comedy: Walking down the street. You see a clown. Walking down the street, you see a cat. Wait, this is stupid. Get in the bin!

Today we talked about film openings in a bit more detail, and we also looked at a film opening which gave us some ideas of what we could do in our film. We also looked at film reviews that were written using no more than 25 words which was exciting.

On 6-10-2011 my group worked on our practice/freestyle video. We edited it by adding music, transitions and various other techniques. We also worked on our outtakes for our preliminary which was very funny.

Graphic match is making the final shot of one sequence similar to the first shot of the next which can help to both smooth the transition between the two and link them.

Crosscutting is an editing technique most often used in films to show action occuring at the same time in two different locations.

Today we got our video camera and our flip (other recording device). We went around the school and in the car park filming ourselves, and then later uploaded everything onto the iMacs. Also, today we edited our preliminary and it was very entertaining watching the outakes.

Eyeline match is an edit that cuts from a character to whatever that character is looking at.

On 29-09-11 we finished recodring the other groups preliminary, and afterwards we started to edited our preliminary on the Macs. It was great fun!
