Then I added the surrounding 'cover lines' and 'lures', using personal pronouns such as "Your" to adress the reader directly. I also tried to use a variety of fonts and colours. I used a rhetorical question to also adress the reader and then added a barcode and price in the bottom left corner.

Film AS Preliminary Task
Pre-production
For our prelim task we had to create a short film sequence showing a character walking, opening and closing a door and finally sitting down at a table having a brief conversation with another character. We had to include a range of shots including a close up, medium shot, long shot, and over the shoulder shots.
First of all, we needed to storyboard our initial idea and translate the story into a series of different camera angles i.e. shots, then label what type of shot it was and any direction the character would be doing.
After storyboarding, we were asked to swap with another group, we were expected to then film from our new storyboard seeing if we could understand what was meant to be done.
Post-production
During filming, I took part quite alot . I filmed the first long shot of Megan walking, the medium shot of Megan walking to the door and the close up of the door handle. The over the shoulder shots were also partly filmed by me during our second take of filming that part of the sequence.
We had to re-film some shots such as filming Megan's feet walking as we did not film within the 180 degree rule, because of this I have learnt to always keep this rule in mind when filming. When editing, I cut matched the transition of the first long shot to the close up of Megan's feet to keep continuity, I also partly edited the sequence of Megan opening the door ( medium shot to close up to over the shoulder shot). Problems we had during production were that the camera we had for part of filming faded in and out so when editing, we found it difficult to cut each fade out completely without cutting the story. From this, I have learnt that if I use the same camera as before when filming next, I must wait for at least 5 seconds beforehand to make sure the fade is complete.

The 5 C's
- Camera Angles
- Continuity
- Cutting(aka editing)
- Close-ups
- Composition
Continuity
Genrally refers to a visual error. In very basic terms, it means having a character in a red top one second and a blue top the next.
Cutting/Editing
This is essential otherwise films would be in real time and never end. The main use is to either add pace to a scene to make it exciting or to slow it down fdor dramatic emphasis.
7 things to remember over the year:
- Gender
- Age
- Ethnicity
- Sexuality
- Class and status
- Phisical ability/disability
- Regional identity
hello there...
I believe Art will one day take over the world and everyone will feel like they can express themselves however they please if it be through music, fashion, or even perhaps painting with their feet!
Music is a huge interest to me, I enjoy chilling to bands such as the Smiths, The Drums, The Kinks, Two Door Cinema Club, a mix mash of stuff really, at this moment I have this song stuck in my head ...
