Catch up 2

Rebeccas lesson on the 5th January, we were focusing on Match cuts and was seeing what it is. Micky and Rebecca explained what it was and gave us some examples of what it was. When we had done that, we were given a synopsis, which was : East London. 3pm. a man chain smokes as he sits at his home pc. He copiesconfidential computer files and plans to a cd. He packages them and is seen posting them.
We had to then fill out a grid using 20 shots to make this opening thriller. We had to try to use match cuts where appropiate. When we had done that we had to watch the one that was made by Mikey and identify and shots that were the same and alos identify where the match cuts were. There were around three match cuts, one beng when he was writing on the cd and two when he was walking t go and post the letters. I found identifing the match cuts easy and i feel they very effective.
Getting to the end of the lesson, we were put into our media groups and were given a storyboard. Rebecca read out a synopsis and we had to make a thriller out of it. She said that: Character A opens the door, enters a room, and sits in a chair opposite Caracter B. Character A and B exchange a couple of words of Dialouge.
We were told to storyboard our ideas and it was to be filmed in Annabel's lesson on Thursday. We was told to use interesting shots and also matchcuts.

On that Thursday, Pareece and I was unable to attend Annabel's lesson because of exams and so i was told that Rhea and Louise were split up and joined another persons group for this exercie.

The following Monday Rebecca told my group that we had to still do thfilm. On the Tuesday me and Louise went to workshop to do it becuase Pareece and Rhea was unable to attend. Whilst filming we found it hard to film and also be in the film because there were many shots that we were unable to do. We was able to include a few Matchcuts, like when Character A is opening the door and entering the room.

On that monday we were told that we had to make a pitch to present to the class. We had to talk about our idea for our Thriller and how we would use the different Techniques to make our Thriller good. The areas we were to talk about were images, icons, settings, location, lighting, camera work, production schedule, audience, music and storyboard. We managed to get ideas down that we were going to use in our pitch. For homework we all decided to write about one topic on the sheet that we had and bring to annabel's lesson on Thursday in order to do our putch.
