Filming practice

 A Kit Kat chunky and Cup of Tea - filming sequences

In the two separate media lessons we were given different tasks to do during the course of the 2 hours in which we had to complete it.

Whilst filming many different shots we tried to incorporate miss en scene to highlight the different surroundings that we used, this consisted of many high and low angle shots including extreme close-up and over the shoulder shots. We did this to highlight all the different ways in which we use camera movement to make our short film more interesting and intriguing.

Our first task was the kit kat chunky - within this we had to do several different clips of the kit kat moving around and the end result would be Jack eating it, we started my dropping the kit kat onto the camera; to insure that we did this correctly we created the image of the chocolate bar falling from the sky. We tried to add emphasis and mystery within our clip to make it unique by moving the chunky bar across the bottom of our camera - we did this in order to show the chocolate bar was moving towards Jack.

We tried to make our clip into a romance esque video, by doing this we used final cut to slow down each shot so that it created a more distinctive and interesting style to it. 

Secondly, in the cup of tea clip - in my opinion i think we had a much better experience, we were much more confident with the different types of camera angles and also ow to use the final cut pro soft ware - by adding in different types of features such as: fast and slow motion, sound and changing the lighting to create drama, we also used many angles such as : High and low, over the shoulder, long shots, medium close-ups and close-ups of us drinking the cup of tea. By doing each of these clips and adding each one in at the appropriate times so that it all fits together worked perfectly and also the music fitted so that the beat went with each clip. For example every time a new clip was inserted the beat of the song would change which made it all the more captivating.
