Welcome To My Media Blog

Welcome to my As Media Studies Blog. This blog will chart my progress of my foundation Portfolio, on it i will include details of all the things have done to help me with my wonderful piece of coursework

Film language- lightning

So far i have learnt a few things about lightining and this includes the follows;

Low key lightning- this is when the key light and back light are used in order to make a contrast between both lights, allowing the shadows to stand out more

High key lightning- More filler lights are used which makes the image look more normal, natural, and realistic

As Coursework- The production Brief

In lesson, we were taken and talked through our production brief and what we are going to be doing for our As Coursework in a few months time, which is making our Thriller.

The Production Brief     

• You are going to produce the opening sequence of a thriller
• The film must be about 2minutes in lenghth
• Work in groups of between 2 and 4 people
• You may use people who are not in your group to help out with the acting in your sequence if you wish

After the production brief was exclaimed, we then moved unto a class discussion about different thriller ideas as well as how we are going to start our preleminary task the next lesson....
