Work I have done so far...

The first project we had to do was capture a theme with a video camera and edit it into a 60 second clip capturing our theme. The theme i captured was lonliness.

For the next project we were introduced to moving image language. We worked with sound and edited the sound of the fight scene clip from the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. We used the MAC computers to edit the sound and learned new skills.

For the following project we used shots from the Physco, shower scene and created a shower gel advert with these same images. The shots created a different meaning to the original physco and was interesting to see how we could change the meaning completely. This was one of the projects i enjoyed the most sofar and was happy with my result.

We then created a vox pop programme to show Job roles in the media industry. The programme was to appeal to year 9 students. My job roles were Television Editors and Storyboard Artist. We researched tyhe job roles, planned, scripted, and storyboarded the programme. We used characters to play the roles of these jobs and filmed the vox pops. We then edited the programme together.

The next project was to create a small section in an arts programme called 'Defining Britsh Soap'. We had to inform the audience about the history of british soap, Social realism, codes and conventiobns of soap and looking at weather Hollyoaks is a teen soap or drama. We created a detailed plan and schedule so we knew what ideas we were using and when we were doing each step in order to meet the deadline. We then scripted and storyboarded the programme. We filmed the vox pops for our programme. Finally we edited the film making it appealing for a mass audience. I learned that the editing process takes a lot of time and is a key part in the media process. Also planning and research is very important in order to complete the project as well as possible.

These projects were challenging but enjoyable and i feel like i have learned new skills and experienced the types of work in the media industry.
