So far we shot our preliminary task as a group. We tried to use a variety of different shots and angles. I was filming so i had to try to keep the camera steady and make sure the pans were smooth and npt shaky. We then edited the footage using Final Cut Pro on the mac. The editing was a lengthy and frustrating process (because none of us knew how to edit), but we managed to get it finished by the end of the lesson. Although it had one small error, which was a two second clip being played twice, the final product was great. During this task, I learned that continuity is very important and a lack of it can completely ruin a scene.

On Monday 4th/10/10, I had to do a PowerPoint presentation to the class. We had to do a PowerPoint presentation about a genre and film of our choice. The genre i chose to talk about was the thriller genre and the film i picked was ' V for Vendetta'. In my presentation, had to talk about the conventions of the thriller genre and general facts about V for Vendetta. What I learnt about the thriller genre is that Alfred Hitchcock was one of the first film makers to actually explore the thriller genre.

Here is my presentation:
