Continuity Piece

We created this piece to demonstrate the skills we had at the start of this course. We edited the piece to black and white to accompany the old fashioned feel of the music in the background, which is from Atonement. We used a tracking shot to follow my feet down the corridor by attaching the camera to a skateboard; and filmed from a tripod for the rest. Instead of attempting to have the Drama Studio, which is where we filmed, look like another location, we based the theme of our piece on a theatre production, thus entitling it 'curtain call'.

Camera Angles

So this is my first enstallment of Media Studies AS.

Camera Shots, ahoy.

Long shot/ Establishing shot

We begun with the pretense of creating a sequence of stills that would look as though Beth & I were being stalked. Note the large array of hedge in the bottom of this, yes, the stalker was hiding in the bush, therefore this is a Point of View shot also.

Medium Close Up

So its the typical 'am I being watched?' shifty look over the shoulder.

Long Shot

Aah now I'm doing the shifty over the shoulder look.

This shot is a combination of both. Its a long shot of Beth, however its a medium shot of Holly. Yes, Holly is our stalker.

Medium Shot

Tilt Shot

Despite of suspicions that we may have a stalker in our midst, Beth and I decide to have a chat on some stairs. We used a upwards tilt shot here to make the steps look higher. NOTE: this is not a point of view shot; me and Beth would either be blind, or Holly a very poor stalker if that were the case.

Medium / Two Shot

Extreme Close Up

We used soft focus to try and keep the stalker's identity secret; but tahdah its Holly!

Long Shot

Our final frame is a long shot and a tilt downwards shot.
