First experience filming with Marissa

For our first lesson , we had to find 3 male directors and 3 female directors along with films they had directed.

3 Male Directors:

- Steven Spielberg : Jurassic Park
-Quentin Tarantino: Pulp Fiction
-Tim Burton : Edward Scissorhands


3 Female Directors :

-Sofia Coppola : Lost In Translation
-Barbara Striesand : Funny Girl
- Drew Barrymore : Little White Lies

(We created a spider diagram of this as well)

We were also taught different types of shots that you can capture with a video camera . Which we shall be using for our short films/ advertisements during the year.

Some of these shots are :

- Wide shot
-Close up
-Extreme close up
-Mid shot


Each of these 4 shots we tested by getting into groups and going out within the college campus to capture.Also during these sessions we learnt about the rule of thirds and how this can help us both with our video recording and with our photography.We learnt how for different shots and for different aspects in the shots , you have to use the top lines . For example for a persons eye level or for the top of a hill or mountain.This both enables you to improve your shot and overall produce a better quality outcome as an end result.
