Hi Angelina

Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging. This is now going to be an essential part of the diploma and where some of your assessment will be done. It is really important that you use this blog to keep a record of work and of evaluation during the course. I will be using it to keep an eye on you.

The work done so far...

The first brief we were set was to create a capture representing a theme. The theme i chose was happiness and we filmed different images and then made them into a short film. We then manipulated another groups capture to change the theme.

We were then introduced to Moving Image Language where we manipulated a fighting scene from the film 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' and added different sound clips to change the mood and atmosphere. This taught me that sound plays a massive part in creating different moods and atmospheres and engages the audience. We also did this for the manipulation of the psycho shower scene to make it into a shower gel advert. We also used captions and transitions to help create a fun, engaging advert.

We then created a vox pop to explain the job roles of a cameraman and other things included with the career e.g. the salary etc. We planned it out my scripting and storyboarding the information and scenes we wanted to include in the vox pop. This helped me understand the importance of planning everything out to make sure it flowed smoothly and well.

Another brief we was given to test out these skills was creating a short section in an arts programme called "Defining British Soap". This also included a thorough plan which included a schedule for researching the information, making the script, producing a storyboard, filming and editing. This was to ensure that we had enough time to plan everything out which was effective as it made the whole job easier and more professional as we knew exactly what we were doing
