Getting Started.

To explore filming, editing and shot types we made a short film clip to help us put theese techniques into place and find out why we use them and what impact they have on the film and the audience. 


This task of creating a shot piece of film helped us explore using the camera and editing. It also helped us see what shots had an affection the film and why. when creating this film we did make a few mistakes for example, when in the library a close up s shown of Me pulling out a book, it is called 'City Of Thieves'. As we were looking at creating a romance piece this book did not fit with the genre and had no significance the the audience or film. Although making this mistake we also noticed it. This will help us when making our final piece on getting everything correct and completing the production to perfecting.


We also explored with various different shot types. We found that close ups were extremely good to show emotion, this would be good for all different Genres of films however, worked particularly well in our Romance clip as it helped emphasize the emotion on both characters. Also Two shots worked exceptionally well in our clip as producing a romance it helped show the relationship between the characters. 


All in all i feel that picking a Genre and making a short film opening helped us with exploring different shots, editing and using the equipment. It also has prepared us for putting together and producing our final piece, what factors we need to look and how they will benefit our production.
