29/09/2010 media studies lesson

In todays lesson we looked at a presentation of some of the things that people get scared of the most and wrote down some conventions of horror movies. I was set a homework which was to do a powerpoint presentation on the history of horror movies and also was given a horror movie called The Bird which I have to do some research on.

Filming, downloading and editing

In this double lesson me and my group got a camera to learn how to use it and also did some more practice on editing a short video clip on Final cut express. Also learnt how to put in transitions, music and cutting parts out of the video clip so that it would look better. we tried some of the basic camera shots like extreme long shot, mid shot and also the 180 degree movement.
