We are group 5. The group consists of four people; Thomas Cooper, Chris Sides, Joel Browne and the ever colourful character of Samuel Cornish.
So far, during our AS level media studies course, we have learnt a number of things. Firstly, we have learnt how to correctly story-board a short sequence of film. We story-boarded it so that when we came to film, it was all in the correct order. We studied the conventions of continuity editing which allows the narrative to be read by the audience in the way intended by the director. We then, watched and analysed a continuity sequence, then re story-boarded it for ourselves and filmed it again from the storyboards we had drawn. By doing this we we're able to find out how the two differed and what rules we had broke whilst filming. We have also filmed a short narrative that had to include several essential shots. The shots we were given to include were a close up, point of view shot, over the shoulder shot, tracking shot, circular pan. We were asked to build the narrative around these shots. Finally we have now started to analyse the different conventions and shots in continuity sequences from thriller openings. We also began to look at how suspense is built and enigma is created.
