The meeting , newly and improved

Firstly we decided to create the script , using the same idea that we did with out first meeting . by doing this we stuck to the idea of using the tory line of the hills , and two friends meeting up to mend the broken friendship. By creating the script based on the hills the last time to improve the  short clip we decided to change the start of the film  by instead of the friends arranging to meet up they  bump into each other accidently and begin to start talking .
Our Script is listed below  :
( Jennifer and ria  bump into each other )

  • ria : kisses her teeth 
  • jen : ohh its you
  • whats going on ? we havent spoken in time  , things between us never got sorted . i heard you had something to say to me . 
  • i'm talkin to you 
  • Ria : i dont even know why your talking to me to be honest 
  • ( person in background "kiss teeth . your rude"0
  • jen : WHAT !!!!??
  • how can you  not be bothered to listen to me , you dont even look up when i come  and speak to you . your willing just to throw all our friendship away .

As media studies review ( my island )


  • In my island i  placed out a treasure map  ,  to show how i believe my as year went in media  studies , i believe that year 12  media was a success as i was able to complete the my coursework to the grade that  i wanted to achieve i was also able to have more time to perfect my coursework by taking new pictures and completing the exam with confidence  . On my island i placed a big bright sun on the top of the page , in the middle i placed things that i enjoyed to do , which was , coursework , blogging and photography as i believe i put the most effort into theses part of the task . By doing this i was able to use new and learn new skills :
  • Photoshop
  • Pages 
  • Imovie 
  • Blogger 
  • Macs 
  • Slide share
  •  I then moved onto the birds in the sky , that went to then went to the grey cloudss , this represented the parts of  the media course that i found difficult and tricky such as :
  • deadlines 
  • Essays 
  • Exams 
  • i believe that this year i have learnt alot about the music industry and i hope that next year i have the same success that i have had doing the as level .

Year 13 - filming

Task to complete : Task given was to create a short film that was based on a meeting of any kind .
My group consisted of :
Chelsea , Imogen and Benita
The task was to give us practice in filming and editing a short film . Before we started our coursework when we returned in september . we were given an hour to create two films between the four of us . using a flip camera , and a tripod  to hold the camera still.
We decided to base our meeting based short film on the a Tv show  The hills (mtv reality show)  . The short film was about a friendship that had been broken up and tried to mended although one of the friends did not want to resolve the problems ,
we had golden rules about filming around the school which were :


Firstly we had to create a story board, adding shot types and acts for the characters. We then had to make a script to match up with the storyboard in the theme of a meeting, firstly we made the film without a tripod, I believe that the film was a good start and the camera wasn’t as shaky as we believed it would be without a tripod. But on our second filming session we found it more difficult to position the camera where we wanted to, to produce the right camera shoot.



My group preferred to use the camera hand held as it was much easier to control the camera and a move it into the shoot type we need to form . Throughout this process we were able to connect the mini clips together on the mac's .Thorughout our filming we stopped and started to change shoot type and change position of of the camera to show fasical expressions.


I believe that the storyline behind the film was a good idea. And worked well thoughtout the filming  , also when we did connect the clips together they fitted together well , as if it was continutity editing . To develop the short film in a better way  i believe that we could  change the setting to create a better environment to the situation , also make the background sound lower, so you hear the actors voices properly .
