This image denotes a white background with the greenery of some trees in the background as well. The angle is slightly to the right so that the person (me) is on the left hand side of the shot, this creates a good angle for a photo. The connotation of the image is of how a pupil can enjoy being on the outside in peace but at the same time can keep up to date with work that has been set. It also shows the 6th form area as a quiet and tranquil area for work and general studying. The white light of the 6th form block in the background also connotes that of hope for the students and peace.

This photo has the

denotation

of the little garden patch outside the 6th form common room.

Showing this photo connotes a sense of life throughout the school and now the new 6th form area. The shot is at an angle which is slightly tilted. The garden outside the 6th form common room represents the growth and development of the school and the students within the community.

This photos denotation is of two students walking down the hall towards the common room (right), this connotes their well deserved break from being hard at work.

The tilt that is added shows that of being unique of being at this brand new school.

They aspect that could have been improved would have been the students being more to the left hand side of the photo, which would create a better image to look at.

This movie was an example of some of the camera techniques, such as pan, track and tilt,  that we are going to use during the Media course. Me (Ollie), Chris and Simon learnt that from this movie we would have to spend a lot of thought on future camera techniques.  We thought that these camera shots were very good some better than others, one of the the shots had some bad lighting in it because we positioned the camera wrong, but we know for next time where to position the camera to get good lighting.

One of the best shots we done throughout this movie was the last one which was the running/action, denoting where the actor was running and the camera was moving around behind him as if the camera was running as well to connote a better atmosphere of the action. this also connotes panic, anticipation and adrenaline for the reason why the actor is running. 

Media Preliminary Task

This is Ollie (me), Max, Chris and Paul's Preliminary Task which we think is very good. The only set back that we had was, when we got round to filming the second part of our task we changed the location of it, so we had to go back to a previous shot and also change the dialogue in the shot so that it would make sense in the task. Apart from that everything went on like clockwork.

The Preliminary Task asked us to create a scene where there are two people talking across a table and to have 2 lines of dialect. At first for this task we didn't completely do as the task said as the second part of the film where the two characters are outside and from there onwards until the end was we had as the whole task. We then realised what we needed to do and so what we did was add more shots at the beginning, so the story would be understood. The Preliminary task also asked us to put in reverse shot, match on action and to keep to the 180 degree rule. this we had achieved in the second part of our film but of course it did not have the two lines of dialect or the scene over the table.

The match on action was first used when Paul put his hand on the chair, this was a close up of his hand and then went back out to see him sit down. The second match on action was used when we had a close up of Paul's hand on the door handle, he then went on through the door but just as we had the camera angle switch to be in front of him coming through the door straight towards the camera. Throughout the film we used the over the shoulder shot which is edited into a shot reverse shot. In the first over the shoulder camera angle it was of the conversation over the table between Paul and Ollie (me). Once the conversation had finished, non diegetic music was played to added atmosphere to the scene.
