Planning for 20 sec Video Poster

On Monday Mr. Philips set us a 20 second video task. We got into our groups and started on a plan for this video and this is what we came up with...


We are aiming to film in the Drama huts as they are dark and they would add extra atmosphere to the video. We want to experiment filming walking around with the camera in our hand just to try something new and make the video look as an every day thing.

Lighting and Performance Workshop

Lighting and Performance Workshop

Last week our teachers took us to the Drama huts on a very thrilling and fun experience...
All of our class got a turn in working with the cameras and performing in front of each other in order to get a feel and teach ourselves how to effectively work with lighting and cameras, whilst someone was performing.

Setting out lighting so that the characters looked good in the camera was a challenge as when the light wasn't in the right place it made the person too bright or too dull...
 

What I learnt in these sessions was to be very carreful with lighting. Also I had a good go with the camera which I really enjoyed. I tried to establish the characters emotions through the use of close ups and to make it seem that they're really a band I walek around them and caught everyone doing their 'band thing'.
