Continuity cut

The film we made was to demonstrate how to do a reverse shot in which the camera focuses on one person, then flicks back to another person as if its a smooth conversation from both sides etc. We were assigned the task of making a short film in which someone walks into a room and has a conversation and we had to demonstrate how to use shots like that. It was only the two of us in our group, so it was quite difficult to be able to take the shots we wanted to our full extent as we didn't have any helping hands like all other groups did. We decided to make the film into an argument, because we had the chance to make it quite humorous rather than just a conversation that could've went dead halfway through, so we thought it'd be more effective and a better chance to use shots. During our conversation, we used a lot of shots where we would just be staring at each other. For example at the very beginning I walk into the room, not realizing Ben was there, which can be told by the look on my face. Due to this, there is the use of a reverse shot where we can be seen just glaring at each other for a good ten seconds which creates tension. We decided to use no audio because it was a spoken conversation and I think the way how there's no audio made the argument seem more real.

Sunderland College Promotional Video Task

For this task, me in my group of four decided to focus on a boy and his journey right from the start of enrolling into college all the way to him participating in tasks with his friends. I used my iPhone to film these short clips and we used the video editing software, premiere pro, to edit the clips together and add this music into the background. I like the up-beat vibe of the short film and think its a good, inviting tone to promote the college perfectly.

During this task, I learnt how to use the basics of the software Premiere pro. I really enjoyed learning my way around adding and importing the video's into the software, cropping and playing about with them. I found the process quite difficult and challenging however I enjoyed it as I love the outcome and think it's really simple but quite well made.

This is the promotional poster we made for bede alongside the video. I like how it features rhetorical questions that question the viewer and make them think what they like and whether they'd be suitable at this college. This poster and video target the audience perfectly with an inviting tone that makes them drawn to bede.
