Prelim Task 1 – Camera Techniques
Camera Techniques Practice
Learning to apply our learning about camera techniques and the creation of meaning.
We went around the school taking photos; applying our knowledge to use a range of camera angles to convey different purposes and meaning.
Below is the work my partner and I did. We found it easy to find different locations and creative ways to showcase the range of camera techniques we learnt, however, it was challenging to take the photo, which would showcase the angle clearly. An area of focus and improvement for me regarding camera techniques would be expanding my knowledge and skillset by challenging myself to use the harder to capture techniques, so i could identify it easily in the future
Preliminary Task 2 – Pre-Production
The purpose of this task was to begin applying our micro element knowledge to a practical project. We worked in partners and were given the prompt of ‘You haven’t left the house in months. If you don’t leave today you never will’.
With this prompt we had to create a concept for a 30 second scene of a film and complete a pitch for the film. In this task we brainstormed ideas, made a mood board, created a storyboard and then made and presented our pitch.
Through this task I learnt there is lots of factors to consider before production. Additionally setting a clear plan helped guide us in the correct direction and prevent us from going off topic especially since it is only a 30 sec scene. Our audience feedback was mainly positive, however i feel that we should used more of a variety of techniques to further encourage our creativity.
