This week I went to Coleridge to start my filming lessons. The basic theory is that we'll get in groups and make a video about bad habits or things like taking drugs or bullying, but this lesson we watched videos of previous groups and the current year 11 group. Then we had acting lesson of what shots and angles are good to use and how to show emotion by the littlest movements. I had to act a scene and I found out a new hidden talent that I'm terrible at acting and if I was going to act I should act a comedy piece. After all my horrible acting I saw how different angles could make a film so much more effective. Just like taking photos from a different angle makes the photo more effective. Acting is also an extra thing that I will have to improve on. Another thing I learned was that you can show many emotions by acting with our body parts. For example like when your cold or angry you can show it by shaking your hand in an uncontrollable way.
After learning all different types of acting we got into groups and started making a video. The assignment was to act 2 lines, but our group did a little story in the beginning and then our camera ran out of battery so we couldn't film the 2 lines. I was the camera man of the group and decided not to act. I also worked with the sound at times.
We managed to go on adobe photoshop and managed to put the film together. It was a good film though we didn't really manage to do the task. Next week I am going to be put in the final groups and start the Youthoria project.
I will put my groups video in a separate blog.
