This is a picture of the London eye in this photo i used the technique "Landscape".

This is a picture of two pupuls in this photo i used the technique "Portrait".

This is a birds eye view of londons buildings in this photo i used the effect "sapia"

This is a landscape photo in this i used the technique "rule of thirds"

In this photo i played around w8ith balancing elements the landscape wpould be the center of attention but instead i placed a objected within the london eye to give it more of a fill.

In this photo i took a portrait of pupils eating chinese iplayed around with the effect "black and white"

Here is a landscape photo for this i played around with the effect "cool"

A Photo of big ben close up 

This photo is a landscape photo of the london eye from a far distant

Here is an overshot shoulder of a pupil on the london eye

Photo or the london eye at the highest peak

In vitoria gardens i took a photo of the walk path diagonallly

Diagonal photo of the bridge/water from and birds eye view.

This photo was taken iu a dark place i tried using white balance but did not put it to its highest to capture the images.

Photography composistion

Photography composistion

Composistion rule 1:Portait and landscape 

 This rule is used when taking a picture of a person and  landscape.Protrait is used when caturing a person this means the camera is held in a long posistion.landscape is the capturing backgrounds such as lanscapes which means holding your camera in a wide position.

My pictures half way meets this rule as i have taken a protrait for people and landscape for background the only difference i would make for next time is to make sure my landscape photos have no people in it so this will not distract from what my photo is meant to be of.

 Composistion rule 2:

  The rule of thirdsThe rule of thirds is used when taking a photo of a person/ landscape such as if the subject is  person there eyes are place within the one third of the way down of the screen . If taking a picture of a landscape where the land meets the sky will be in the top third grid  on the camera but if the sky is the subject in a landscape where the sky meets the land
  will be placedin the  bottom third of the grids.

 I perfromed this rule in my photos by making sure the long shot of this pupil has his eyes in the top third of my photo, and in my landscape where the subject is the sky ive placed the horizon the in the bottom third of my camera also in my second landscape as its more of land i have placed the horizon in the top thired of my camera.

Composistion rule 3

Diagonal ruleThe diagonal rule is when liner elements are placed diagonally to give more of an interesting look this is known to be more interesting than horizontially placed ones.To use this rule the straight line of your object has to be framed diagonally so going across the screen.
I used this rule in my photos by taking a picture of two doors in an diagonally this works beacuse the doors have a clear liner element to them what i would change next
time is that ive made sure the object i have taken is in the frame
. 

Composistion rule 4:SymmetryThis rule is used to mak more of an eye-catching image used what can be use with backgrounds or objects finding symmetry can be in the unexpected of places without the use of editing.To use this rule the symmetry you are trying to capture should have ther line of the symmtery down the middle of the camera for this rule framing is important. In my photo i used this rule by the symmetry of two seperate chairs placed in the same position opposite eachother besides from the objects (chairs) i made sure the framing way equal on both side to emphasis my point of symmetry.

Composistion rule 5 :Balancing elements

Balancing elements is used when your main focus is not within the centre of your image but to balances it out and give it more of a filled photo your less of intrest is placed in the photo as a contrasting object.The rule was used in my photo by my lesser important object complimenting my centre of focus  in a creative way which makes the eyes draw to my main subject rather than the bigger objects.How i would improve this rule is by showing a clear balance between my to objects by both of them being futher from the centre of the screen.

Continuity Editing Exercise

Continuity editing

What scenario were you asked to work to?
In a group of three i was asked to make a video which contained shot reverse shot and match on action match on action is showed by the connection of two shots one a man opening a door and the other shot him then walking through it the editing has to be in goood timing and presis for this to flow nicely together also shot reverse shot is used by a conversation of two people, person one will be shown in the first showed  then goes to person two to see a reaction or response then goes back to person one.

What were the key media language skills you were trying to demonstrate?
Shot reverse shot and match on action.

Who did you work with to plan and fillm?

In my group there was Jared sincliar and Serfie Odz

How successful was this grouping?

The grouping was very sucsessful we had clear role and stuck to them very well as we work well as a team.

How did you use your creativity to develop the scenario?

 We used this by doing an interview the interviewee entering tht room and exiting for the match on action and the interviewer and interviewee for the shot reverse shot.

How useful was your storyboard?
The storyboard was very usefull as we never had to make any major channge.

What did you change and what did you stick to?
The order of the shots where chanaged but stuck we with what was planned to film.

Workshop Evaluation

-How did you use 180 degree rule, rule of thirds & match on action?(screengrabs to illustrate points)

In my video I used the 180 degree rule from my two characters such as interviewer and interviewee having a conversation. For this my camera was placed on the right hand side over shoulder for both characters and stayed on the same side rather than one charter on than the right hand side and the opposite characters on the left hand side this is to keep it visually consistent. Match on action was used in my video by the interviewer exiting the set (room) in one shot and the second shot him going through the door i had to make sure this flowed really well and was precise.

-What challenges did you face during production? What would you change if you were to  film again?

The main challenge I faced during the production was being constant throughout every shot such as being aware of small details such as at the end of one shot standing in one position with hands crossed and at the beginning of the next shot hands are uncrossed and standing in another place which makes it seem as if there has been a jump. I will make sure all my shots flow together well.What i would change when filiming again is that myself and whoever is in the shot is aware of everything that is being recorded is in the same posisition in everyshot unless moved it is intentionally meant to e moved nd will not effect the consistency.

-What challenges did you face during post-production? what would you change?

The challenges I faced during my production were making sure my shots flowed smoothly throughout the video such as noticing small details which made my videos inconsistent. I edited in Imove which i havent used before the editing of my production so i found editing my prodution challegingand editing the shots at the right place to make my shot flow consistently with making it look as if there was any jumps making sure the shots were cut at the right place  my production i had a few problems with this throughout which means next time i should be aware of small details aswell as major details which will make my production flow together well.
 

-What are the overall strengths of your work? Why?- Creativity, Planning and research, digital technology, post production( screen grabs to illustrate points)

The overall strengths of my work was the planning and research. I used a storyboard to structure my ideas for my production but also done research on shot types such as shot reverse shot and match on action. This gave me  a clear understanding of how these are meant to look which made it easier for me to put these in my work from this it was used well in my video. As my planning and research went well I also did not have to  make any major alterations when editing my shots together.The storybardwas used for  my shot types, order of the shot, setting, description of shots ect..

Example of storyboard

-What are the overall weaknesses of your work? Why?- Creativity, Planning and research, digital technology, post production( screen grabs to illustrate points) 

The overall weakness of my production will have to of been the creatvity.The shots could of been made to look more interesting instead of using them in a basic way such as are having the camera at an diaganal angle to make it visual interesting.Another weakness is the digital technology when editing in  iMovie '11 i found it difficult to get the hang of how to use the editing tools even after beening showed how it works  but have not used this programme before this is a weaknesses becauase i did not get to do as much editing i would of like to do to my production as I did not how to do so, if i had mmore time with imove i believe i could of done more editing to my production than i have.

-What overall improvements would you make to your work? Why? 

The overall improvements I would make is to be sure of small details within shots are noticed such as making sure there is continuity. This is because it is easy to not realise there is a small change in the throughout the shots that makes the production look as if it had jumped without intention it also make the video look unprofessional the mistake made in my production was not making sure everything in my shots are placed in the same areas when recording eg a pen on a desk if not moved by the character i should make sure that throughout each shot the pen is in the same position on the desk noticing small detail such as this may determine if my production looks professional or unprofessional also make my shots come together smoothly.

The MediaTexts That Appealed To Me This Summer

FILMS

- Batman - The Amazing Spiderman
- The Borne Legacy
-Brave
-Ted
- Act like a woman act like a man 

Overall the films taht appeal to me ar e mostly comedy films or actions films and some adventager. The main films i found interesting was the borne legacy because it has incridible build up action with two main charaters a girl and a boy that trys to excape the governments serect system.The action refelects me because my personality very lively and energetic this is the main reason it appeals to me rather than just targeted to a boy.

SONGS

-Missy elliot -Work it ( R'n'b)

-Emeli sande - My kind of love

 -(R'n'b)-Wretch 32 - Forgiveness (rap

Slow R'n'B mostly appeal to me because of what kind of lyrics are in the song that may just relate to me without slow songs i would not be able to get through the summer as it calms me down into a relaxing mind set no matter where i am. Rap songs appeal to mean as i like interesting creative things and this come into raps the words and instrumental are used in a creative way.

Tv/Radio programmes

-BBC4

Choice fm is the only radio station that appeals to me as there target audience is young teens this means they play young generation music that i  like to listen to and the mood of the radio station is livley and informing for young people .Tv channels such as BBC 4 i mostly watch because of the documentries that comes on this appeals to me because i like learning about new things in depth.
