While learning about all the camera movements i started to invest some time to think about what movements would work great with my own adaptation. I think high angels and wide shots will be the ones i use the most! When having a camera movement it can really change the way you think of people, when we watched a video about all the camera movements i learnt a lot of how to portray a character. Mike gave us all a sheet with all the possible camera movements you can use while filming, all of these are very experimental and very helpful. While moving the camera you also have to make sure you have the correct camera zoom/width. What i really found interesting is when you zoom in with the camera and zoom out with the lens, it gives off such a cool effect and camera movement you instantly think how the hell did that happen?
I have always wondered how filmmakers create that kind of effect where the character gets closer to the camera but the background gets smaller. Mike also wanted us to remember why we move a camera and what it emphasizes.
Enhances/Inflects emotion
Guides the audience
Diffuse/Destroy a scene's dramatic conflict
Forcing/Inflicting/Imposing something else
This is my favourite video that Mike showed us, it is so helpful and shows exactly what the camera movement enhances. While watching the video i have learnt a lot and will use most of these camera movements to enhance my entire adaptation. I will especially play with the camera zooms and widths, i have never used those techniques before and i think it they will really create emotion and that is what my project is mostly about.
While coming up with my proposal i really wanted to discover more about John Clare. John was born in 1793 and was a very famous poet, he was born as the son of a farm labourer and did not have much money. Many individuals state that Clare is 'the greatest labouring class poet that England has ever produced' since he came from a very poor background. While reading up on his background it was very hard, he had a troubled childhood and was also sent to an asylum where he had written most of his poems. I chose the Trespass poem due to me really having a strong connection to it. I feel as John Clare felt a lot of loneliness and pain during the time that this poem was written. The sonnet has rhyming couplets and seems less angry even though it is in-fact very sad. Clare really felt despair and pain while this poem was written. Clare was born into a middle class family and felt as he wanted to express these feelings within his other poems. I couldn't really find any informati
Fashion Fails – Internet Shopping Websites I have actually experiences these issues in the past with ‘Online Shopping’ you can never be sure if what you order is what you will actually get. I have researched a few websites that have this issue and how could we possibly stop them? The first website that has caught my eye is ‘Zaful’ . This online store describes itself as ‘Trendy women’s fashion’ it started off with just bikini sales but developed into clothing also – I have noticed this online store getting more and more attention due to Youtuber sponsorships, Zaful sent Bikinis and clothing for free to popular Youtubers to review them. This is where some of their stuff really came differently to what was show online. Most of their bikinis are VERY small when ordered in a Medium or Small, ‘It would fit a child’ one Youtuber mentioned while reviewing the clothing off the site. You cannot tell a lot from their pictures either, there is no description of mate
Today we had a very exciting workshop with Del, it was our first go at working in a real Studio Production atmosphere. We all had a go at different jobs such as Floor Managin, Sound, Directing, VT, Talent etc. We also had a go at playing around in the gallery and seeing what it takes to be a vocal Director. We all had a go and realised that when we go live all of us tone our voices down and really start to focus very strongly on what to say and what shot to play live. I had so much fun during this workshop but found out that most of the jobs are very difficult! Escpecially my own, being a floor manager comes with many different responsibilities. I realised that i had to really nail my 'Floor Manager' hand signals. I also found it difficult to manage the talent, Del told me that i had to be nexto each camera when live so that the talent can look at you and the correct camera. Me and George both decided to take care of one talent each - i would be in charge of Adeline and Georg
