Preliiminary Exercise AS Media





WWW: Most of the shots we used had a good length to them. The camera seemed to have a good grip thoughtout the task. The panning shot on the first scene was done really well. Similarly, the fade in the opening sequence was also done well. There was a wide variety of shot used and almost always something in the foreground that could interest. For instance, in the background in the thumbnail there is a water bottle that was done deliberately the eye-levels fit really well and seemed like an actual conversation. The Shot- reverse shot was done really well and the timing was ideal. The pace of the shots was fast, however it did continue fast therefore it was continuity in the task. The range of shots that were used did seem to find in well, however there were some shots that don’t work aswell, like the high angle shot. The first scene of the character walking fast was done to show how emotionless the character is, considering he has just killed somebody. In this shot, you could also hear the footsteps of the character without actually seeing him. If this was done well it could've created tension for the audience watching this. That was an example of a sound bridge. Furthermore, the dialogue in this was really good. The sound of the voices seemed to be really clear and added to the tension. Generally, I think that the acting in this preliminary exercise helped to add a lot to the general feel of the video.

EBI:  The sound of the shots differed a lot. When the establishing shot was used the sound changed a lot. The establishing shot in my opinion was the only shot that didn't really fit in well. It seemed to be unnecessary. I thought it added a scene at the time of making this. The pause at the start of the scene could also of been seen by many people as to long. The pace of my walk could also have been seen as to fast. If this was done again I would slow down and behave generally calmer and I would consider the pace of walking in the exercise later. Their also seems to be a long pause when the character is sitting down. Therefore, that also could've ruined the flow of the exercise. Again I would consider this if I had to do this again. In addition, when the hands are being slammed the shot should be a few seconds shorter. The slamming of the table shot seemed to go on for a little bit longer. That again could affect the general pace of the shot. Perhaps, the audio of the shot could be done a little longer and create a new sound bridge. This would show the calmness of the other character who would seem like he doesn't care about the other persons emotions. We also broke the 180 rule when the shot –reverse shot was on. Overall, I think that this task was done well.

With excellent social instincts and ability to please, together with a desire for attention, admiration and applause, you make an special effort to be noticed.

Main Priority: Enlightenment
Characterisation: Reformer

Independence is your way, you make up your own mind and, ideally, manage your own time. In every way you need room to stretch and grow and move about. Freedom is not just an ideal. It’s a basic necessity. All rigid restrictions are irksome to you, be they hierarchies and bureaucracies, accepted ideas, roles, rules and routines – or tight collars and small windows.

Luckily you are sufficiently inventive and versatile to overcome these restrictions and find the freedoms that you need. What about those who are powerless to do so ? You may feel yourself drawn to active involvement on their behalf - your search for enlightenment naturally includes the desire to set the whole world free.

More than others you are aware of personality in the world around you, which connects with a feeling for relationships ... for instance of colours, shapes, or tastes. The result is a very personal expression, whether it happens in the kitchen, the garden, at work or at play. Generally open to experience., you are attracted to intelligence, to people and things that exhibit unique, authentic and unexpected facets.
