Preliminary Task

Over the last 3 lessons, we have found out about and started our Preliminary Task. I've been put in a group with Sophie, Dom and Lester which I'm very happy about :D

Our Preliminary Task must have this as a general plot:
- Establish location
- Introduce character 1
- Character 1 opens door
- Character 1 crosses room
- Character 1 sits down opposite character 2
- Characters exchange 4 lines of dialogue
And it doesn't have to be concluded.

This task doesn't get marked by a grade, just a pass or a fail. So far my group have almost finished storyboarding our scene.

We think it's going to be EPIC! :D

Rundown

As I've only just started my blog and I've been doing the course for two weeks, I thought I'd better get you all up to date on what I've done so far.

Firstly, I learnt about different shot types. I knew quite a few before I started the course from my English GCSEs but learnt new ones such as:

Over the shoulder (OTS):


And...
Establishing shot (EST):


I also learnt about different types of sound. I discovered that diegetic sound is sound that comes from within the story and non-diegetic sound is sound that is added in editing. Did you know that? That can be fact of the day for you.

That's basically my course so far and it's looking good :)

Welcome to the madness...

Ummm... hello?

This is my AS Media Studies blog, where I will keep track of my progress over the course. The posts will be all about my progress (if I make any), ideas (if I have any) and general media stuff. I hope you find my constant failing entertaining. Feel free to laugh at my expense. XD

So... welcome, I guess?
