Year 13 help session

During one of our media lessons we received some help from the year 13 media students. They gave us a lot of helpful information towards our preliminary task. Some points given were:
- Camera work.
- Editing.
- Updating our Blogs.
- Uploading our shots.
- Keeping all parts of the camera safe, this would be crucial to our filming.
- Planning out our shots, checking lighting, sound and to be cautious of jump shots.
- Making sure we follow the 180 degree rule to ensure viewers are not confused.
- Make sure our group is well prepared for filming. It is important to remember equipment.
- Dealing with continuity editing- making sure costumes and props are exactly the same to avoid any misunderstanding.
- We need to ensure that the camera is re wound ready for uploading, so it does not delete any of our shots.
- Save time, if you plan ahead filming will take less time and will be completed more efficiently.
- Plan and think about the mise-en-scene of all shots.
- Keep background and ambient sounds to a minimum and make sure dialogue is clear and easy to understand as the camera is not very good at picking up the sounds.
