SELFIE!
We began filming today! To improve our continuity, I took a selfie of my make-up, done by the fabulous Sidonie Wells :) Gruesome, right?
Post production to Utopia
Utopia in has been noted by the media to have a very comic-book like appearance in it's style.
It is said in an article published by "Wired Magazine." that a lot of the shots were colour edited previously in post production to produced the iconic look.
Muden reports: "It's the equivalent of when they used to hand-paint photos in the Edwardian times," says Munden. "So, we choose certain colours like yellow and turquoise and paint them into the shots afterwards.
It was reported that when shooting , the sky wasn't always as blue as it is shown in the series, it was in fact musky british weather, with the grass a lot less green than shown in the series and a blue van being transformed into a yellow van.

Introduction to Preliminary Task
So our first physical task in media is to film ourselves "opening a door, walking into a room and exchanging a few lines of dialog between two characters."
Me, Sid and Beth are working on a spy film, filled with torture and interrogation!
One of the key shooting features crucial our task is a successful attempt of the 180 degree rule, which basically makes continuity a lot smoother and also makes filming a lot more sense to the viewer.
Over the shoulder shots, long shots and establishing shots are being use to create the relationship between the two characters and also the frightening scene portrayed in the clip.
Wish us all luck!

Filming for 3 hours?
So, yesterday me and Sid stayed behind after school for 3 hours to earn the 17 seconds of our opening to our primilary task. ( yay ) I have to say however, we were pleased with our results despite having to spend ages on YouTube trying to figure out the editing software. ( nightmare! )
Negative sides include having to retake shots as they were too shaky and acting for classrooms to be free

Different Camera Shots
Three different views of the same shot
A Welcome?
Hello everyone who's reading, a very big welcome to you.
This marks my first post into my media journey which will last throughout the year.
Throughout this year, you will witness my progress and ( hopefully not) failure.
None the less, I'm a big media fan, I admittedly made a few speed draw videos in which have been submitted onto YouTube (Amy Nayancat, in case you wanted to know, just note that the art is terrible ) with this, I admit to using Window's movie maker and OBS screen recorder....but that's pretty much it.
Recent updates coming up onto the blog will involve my first task to make a 2 and a half minute film opening, I'm riddled with ideas! ( hopefully I'm not too bossy with other students)
Anyway, that's a wrap! See you soon!
