Free Writing Task -


I’ve been at college nearly two months now and I have learnt a lot in the amount of time I have been here, we started with the very basics of how to pick up and use a camera and what frames are used within film & TV, for example a wide shot, close up shot, extreme close up shot, point of view shot and over the shoulder shot. We were given our first task which was called filmmaking 101 this task was given to us to see what we could make with the skills we had. We had to make two short sequences and also recreate a scene from a film. We picked the Forrest Gump life is like a box of chocolate scene for this. We created a short horror and film noir sequence. Making these taught us a lot about what it takes to make a film or TV series. We learnt that a lot of things have to happen behind the scenes before the sequence is even filmed. We learnt how to plan out what we were going to do to make it easier for ourselves when we had to go out and film. We also learnt that other things need to be thought of such as what everyone’s role in the team will be making scripts, planning makeup looks, filming at the right time of day and also framing, lighting, and sound. Another major thing that we learnt was the basics of editing. We learnt how to use the adobe premiere pro software that we use to edit our footage together. We learnt the basics such as how to import footage and how to edit it together on the timeline.
