  Create a new blogpost called 'Cinematography video feedback and learner response'.  Make sure your video is on YouTube and embedded in this blogpost.  1) Type up your feedback/comments from your teacher. Having watched both versions, the widescreen version is definitely better – this is an important lesson in filming and equipment. The portrait version also seems to just play a loop rather than the full narrative. In terms of future filming, see Mr Harrison to make sure you can use a tripod with the phone in the landscape position or alternatively borrow one of our cameras and bigger tripods. Focusing on cinematography, you’ve got a good range of shots and in the main they are correctly labelled (one exception – POV is point of view, not point in view). The only thing I’d mention is the high angle shot doesn’t particularly communicate much meaning (it looks more like an establishing shot than something to make the victim look vulnerable). Similarly, you could have used a low

    Export your finished video, upload it to YouTube and post it to your blog along with a brief explanation of your work.

  Cinematography:  Find the opening sequence to a film or TV drama of your choice on YouTube and e mbed the video in a blogpost called 'Cinematography blog tasks'.  FAST AND FURIOUS 1) Write an analysis of the cinematography in the opening sequence.   Highlight  your use of media language and try to cover camera shots, angles and movement using the terminology we have learned in lessons.  This scene uses a variety of close up shots such as big closeup to portray his facial expressions, extreme closeups of his eye indicting a sort of challenge and closeups of his hand on the stick shift. The focus shift through the window to the characters face is a factor of a closeup shot . Medium long shots are also seen as the car drives into the distance as the camera stays into his original position. Dolly shots are also seen visible when he is driving the car, this is through the left side of the character. Crane shots are seen when the camera pans to show the top part of the c
