location

we found our location that meets the right credentials for a great interrogation. however there has been some minor problems in getting this site. we had to find permission from the duty manager. and our teacher will have to grant the permission for us.



We have been assigned a task to create a short sequence linking different shots together. We were assigned a position that we would not normally do, i took the role of creating the music. This was important because it gave the film that extra edge and a personality. To match the characteristics of our film i needed to create a piece of music that would build a sense of suspense and danger. Within the task we had to use a range of shot types:
  • close up
  • extreme close up
  • long shot
  • mid shot
  • high angle
  • low angle
  • point of view
  • slow zoom in
  • pan
By using these shot types we could create certain effects, and by completely this task it helps us broaden our knowledge of filming.

camera Practice-tied up


Our task was to create a 1 minute sequence of someone being tied up, whilst creating a sense of claustrophobia and panic, through camerawork, editing and music. We used the following camera shots:
  • Extreme close up
  • Close up
  • Mid shot
  • long shot
  • Pan
  • Zoom in/out
  • Point of View
  • High Angle
  • Low Angle
I thought our sequence went well. We worked well as a team and accomplished our task of creating the sense of claustrophobia and panic using the required shots. we did this in groups of four and my role was to direct and edit the sequence i feel that i did what was required of me which was to make decisions and to communicate so that everyone else in the group knew what they had to do for there role.

Camera work practice


the task we were given was purely simple we were given a whole lesson and a part of the next lesson to film, edit and soundtrack a short video, this had someone being tied too a chair. we were put into different groups and were given specific roles, i was given a leading part in the acting. although i had never acted in my previous projects. i feel that the way our group cooperated with each other reflected on our overall quality of our project. i am very happy with our project and i feel it went very well and our project was very successful.

it indicates the vulnerability of the child ''hope''.

homework the effects of a title sequence jaws

jaws- the effects of the jaws opening sequence are that there is two ladies swimming in the open sea, the music enter and it get louder and faster this indicates that something is out there and is going to happen. although it is unclear about how or by what. the sequence continues and the music continues to get louder and louder this builds suspense and tension for the audience. this title sequence is very effective in the way it builds tension and suspense.
