I checked out this opening sequence it was really interesting I knew what genre the film was from the moment it started this was due to the colours used the sequence was colourless which made it look like a horror. there was a lot of good use of shots used there was close ups of the gun, writing on a page. There was a good use of angles used in the clip. The sound was matched great with the pace and genre of the clip. The continuity editing was also good.

I started to look at some AS media course work to get ideas for my own opening sequence.
This opening sequence was good, I liked the use of sound used it mathchthe pace which the girl was running,it had good continuity editing and it flowed well. There were many different camera angles and shots, some of the shots were edited to make the audience jump which made it look like a professional opening sequence. The camera lighting was good and clear, dark lighting was used beaucse it was a horror opeing sequence. The sequence had good use of mis-en-scene - a graveyard which is a great place tostart a horroe film beaucse it shows the audience what genre the film is. They used Sony Pictures ident which is a well-known film company. They included names of characters,writer's and directors. I think that this sequence could be improved by making their own ident instead of using an existing company; also they could use a bettwr quality camera to get that extra detail to give it that real professional look. From this clip I will make sure I have good sound in the background which suits my films genre, good lighting,I will make sure my cliphas a variety of camera shots and choose a good place to shoot my sequence wich shows what genre my film is to make the opening sequence intresting and professional. I wil use a good quality camera and make my own ident.

What makes a good blog

I had looked and analysed some blogs, The first blog which i looked at was Kim Bates & Tom Allen the blog was level 2 (D grade).The blog good points were that it explained all then camera shots in detail and gave images as examples. They explained there prelimonary task, what it was about, the 180 degreerule they had to use when filming and the shot reverse shot they also included their  preliminary video.

I then look at a Level 3 blog by Joe this blog was better than the first blog beaucse they included more video links which they had researched they had included thier ideas when they were planning. E.g mind maps. They lnluded videos links on how to edit and cut certain shots.I think this blog got a higher grade beaucse they had done alot of planning before making their prelimary and final film which shows they were organised also they did alot of research on videos,cuts,editing. They included a lot of diagrams, photos, software they used and an evaluation

Preliminary Task

I had to plan firstly plan a prolimanary scene which had to include someone opening a door walking through and sitting down and having a converstation with someone else on any topic. The exam board wanted me to this task to practice for my practical course which I will be doing soon. I pratising using different camera shots, recording sound and continuity editing.


Before i started planning this prolimary sequence I made my own short video with many different varitey of camera shots and angles. My short video was about rugby match.


My Prolimary stared Karandeep Dhanoya as "KayDee" and Rajesh Sharma as "Sharmz".
Sharmz opens a door and walks through and sits at a top table oppsisite KayDee and starts a converstation.

My First Post - First look at cloud software

Hi my names Rajbir, this is my first ever post, I am 16 years old at Holyhead 6form Academy. I am studying AS Media Studies taught by "Mr Hutchins" and "Mr Rafter"- give them credit !!! The first thing I had to research was cloud software. I looked at "Wix" I found it could make my blog look more snazzy but was complicated, I also looked at "Weebly" and had the same problem. Then I looked at Blogger and it was simple to use and was effective for the job.
