Filming Experience:

Filming Experience:

At Media City  I had some experience of filming; making practice projects heading towards the main BTEC task. I had a clip on my film of a video CV that I started:

The Task:

Create a 2 minute opening sequence to a spy film.

My Skills:

My media skills consist of many things. I have used industry standard cameras, lighting and sound equipment already at my previous college. I have also used editing software to create mini filming projects too with groups just simple cuts and creating a narrative out of the film used.So i have experience in the many aspects. I can also work in a team and co-operate well putting several ideas relevant towards the task.

Camera Angles:

*Close Up- Certain feature or part of the subject takes up the whole frame.

*Over the shoulder shot- Over the shoulder view.

*Wide shot- subject is fully showcased.

*Extreme wide shot- The view is so far from the subject that they aren't even visible. Often used as an establishing shot without a subject at times.

*Point of view shot- shows the person’s viewpoint. 

*Very wide shot- The subject is barely visible but the focuses on them stood in the shot.

*Mid shot- Shows some part of the subject in more detail while still giving an impression of the whole subject.

*Medium close up- In-between a midshot and close up.

*Extreme close up- Immense focus on the subject.

*Cut in- Shows part of the subject in extreme detail.

*Cutaway- Shot of something other than the subject.

*Two shot- A Shot of two people.

Camera Movements:

*Arc- Moves around the subject.

*Crab- Side to side movement at a constant distance from subject.

*Dolly- Cart which travels along a track.

*Dolly zoom- Moves closer or further from subject while adjusting the zoom angle to keep the subject in frame.

*Follow- Camera follows subject or action

*Pedestal- Camera moves vertically up or down focusing on the subject.

*Pan- Horizontal movement in which camera moves left to right following the subject.

*Tilt- Vertical camera movement in which camera points up or down from stationary location.

*Zooming- Camera remains still but starts to zoom in on subject.

Use For The Task:

This is relevant for the final task as i have knowledge in my media key concepts from GCSE level as well as used some equipment and software already. This allowing me to make a good opening scene to an action movie as i can make it look professional as possible.
