TUTORIAL 4 & 5

Today in class we have been doing a short film so we learnt about filming techniques and how to edit, the short film was about overcoming adversity which we then posted on YouTube.
Youtube is an online community where people can upload videos onto the internet. People put almost anything and everything on YouTube...some people have even become famous by putting things such as music videos on the site!!.
People who place clips onto YouTube get rated out of 5 in terms of how many people have viewed their video, for example as of right now the video clip we posted last Thurs called The Great Getaway has had 41 views ( I don't even think it qualifies for even one star but it will get there!).
Before we got into producing our own short film we had to develop a story board containing all the shots we were going to do,this included details such as the shot,e,g close up, who was going to be in the shot and any props. By using a story board it was easy to go on and take the shots as we knew exactly what we were going to do as it produced a step by step guide. After we had taken all the shots we than had to edit the film,we did this by chopping the length of some shots and adding them in a sequence that flowed, we then added a title, music and credits and hey presto we have a short film!
