*Use of a tripod - Before I had started this project I had never used a tripod before. I learnt how to set one up, how to adjust it at different levels and I learnt how to attach the camera to it.
*Lighting - We were very aware that because of the season the day is short and we had to film during the day when there was as much light as possible. When in darker rooms we made sure the light was behind the characters or directly in front of them for the best effect.
*Location factors - We were quite lucky as it was quite cold, but not very windy and it only started to rain (drizzle) at the end of the day. This luckily worked well as it went with the storyline.
*Camera shot types/ when to use them –
-Extreme close-up's
- show character's emotion
-Long shots
-MCU - create
tension
-Close up
-Two shot - when the
two girls are being watched / the view from the security cameras?
- Cut away - shot of
tree's
-Point of view shot
- from the angle of the criminal chasing the victims
*Composition/ framing - i learnt about the rules of thirds when setting up the shots. Especially with the bedroom scene we did have a side table in the foreground, a bed in the middle section and there was a chair and window in the back ground all in proportion and it wasn't at an angle it was head on.
*Camera movement - i learnt about panning and if you tilt the camera slightly you can cut off part of the character like the villain.
Learning what to do with editing:
*iMovie - before starting media i had never touched a mac or iMovie so i had to learn from scratch how to use the programme.
*How to import footage - i learnt how to import movies and export movies.
*Editing to structure narrative
*The use of transitions, visual effects and adding non-diegetic
sounds. *How to create credits
*Other - blogger, I hadn't ever
touched a site like this so it was much known but seemed easy enough to grasp.
