PRELIMINARY EXERCISE

We are doing the thriller brief so we had to plan, film, capture and edit our preliminary task.  

Continuity task: filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room, sitting down in a chair opposite another character with whom she/he exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180% rule.

RESEARCH: MY MEDIA WORLD

• I use my iPhone 5 for making calls, sending text messages, social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I also use it to play games, find out the days weather and find out about the daily news. Another use is to take pictures and record video.

• 

  Best feature: use of social network apps

  I use my Macbook Pro as a means to find information on the internet. I use it to watch TV shows and movies, also short internet videos.
• I use Youtube to watch short online videos which are popular or interesting to me.
• I use Twitter to find out about other peoples lives and to update my friends about what I am doing. I find this is also a good way to find out about daily news.
• I use Facebook to update my friends on a daily basis, also I use the chat option for more personal communication with friends.
• I use Instagram to update my friends with what I am doing through pictures.
• I use my Xbox to play games, Search the web and watch TV shows via Netflix or Sky Player.
• I use Netflix to both catchup and watch new TV shows and Movies.
• I use the Canon 550D to take pictures and record video. 
• I use Blogger to post about my life and keep any readers updated. It is also my main way to update my teacher on my AS course work.
• I use Spotify in order to listen to and get the music I want while on the move or at home. 
• I go to the Cinema to watch the latest movies as this is a more immersive experience than watching it on a handheld device such as a laptop or iPad.
