Idea Mind Maps

This is the Location Mind Map created during a lesson

This is the Production Company Name ideas which was made in class.

This is the Names Mind Map which again was made in class.

We did the Mind Maps to explore the possibilities with our film.

Class comments - Continutiy Task

The sound was very basic and needed the levels mastered better, but the introduction of non-diegetic sound was very effective. The shot reverse shot was well framed and well edited. The mid shot was poorly framed. A variety of shots was picked up on but so did the issues with continuity.
Our Targets are

1. Improve framing
2. Improve the rate of continuity by adding more shots
3. Practise camera movements

Our continuity task achieved level two at 30/60.

Continuity Task

Practise Filming

Charlie, Steven and I have been out practising with the cameras and tripod. We were told to get a variety of shots whilst out filming.


ECU, CU, Panning, Tracking, ELS, LS, MS, LA, HA, BEV and more which weren’t needed as much as the above.

I think we did well as we all managed to get an example of each one, I think what also helped was that we knew what we had to do and we all worked together to get the shots needed.
