First Group Vlog

A group vlog talking about our prelim.

First Group Vlog Attempt

Our first attempt of filming together, evidently didn't go to plan.

180-Degree Rule

The 180-degree rule is the idea that all filming should be shot from one side of an imaginary line or visual line between characters. This is done in order to not confuse the audience, as they have subconsciously formed a mental map of where the different characters are.
However sometimes the rule is broken for effect,  but a re-establishing shot must be done to tell the audience where the characters are.
This video gives a visual explanation:

My First Vlog

This is my first vlog, i'm finding this so embarassing and i really don't know how i'll manage to get used to this but i'll have to find a way.

Storyboarding

In lesson the class was shown a section of episode 1 of series 3 of 'Luther' and was asked to do a storyboard of the clip to practice when it comes to our own film. From doing this I know I will hate story-boarding because of my evidently terrible drawings. 

Film making Techniques

My Favourite Female Actor

Sandra Bullock is my favourite female actor because of her ability to take on a variety of different characters in many well-loved films. She is also inspirational because of her bravery of adopting a child and raising him as a single parent while continuing to devote herself to many amazing films that she has starred in.  I love all the films she has been in because she captures each role perfectly.

My Favourite Male Actor

My favourite male actor would have to be Will Smith because of the way he captures every role he plays. He has been the protagonist in many different film genres and series from comedy to sci-fi. He executes every role tremendously even though they are so different. In addition Will Smith is a dedicated actor and really assimilates every role he plays. He has also won many awards and is a well-loved actor by many.

My Favourite Film

Picking a favourite film is difficult, there are so many that I love and could watch over and over without getting bored. There are many different genres that make you feel a different way: scared, sad, happy. The film that really stands out to me though is ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ because of how moving the plot is. The film portrays stereotypes of teenagers such as alcohol and drug abuse however the many twists throughout the film really allow you to empathize with the characters. In addition I really like a quote from the film ‘you only accept the love you think you deserve’ which has stuck with me ever since I first watched it. It’s a film I highly recommend and I guarantee it will make you cry your eyes out.
