An explanation of my idea

In my idea I created a storyboard to show what i am going to be doing the video is all about a person called Yanick who walking down a ally way and sees a wallet on the floor and he picks it up and puts it in his pocket and he walks away.Another person called Darren who see Yanick takes the  wallet and starts to follow him.Darren follows Yanick into the room saying why did you take my money.Then Yanick says he doesn't know what he is talking about then Darren says why are you liying I saw you take it and then Darren looks at Yanicks work and then takes it and screws it up and throws it on the floor.


Camera shot
  The camera shot that i used in the first shot was a establishing shot in the ally to show the setting to show the story begging.The second shot that i used was a long shot to show Yanick walking down the ally.The third shot was a close up of the wallet on the floor to show that someone left it there.Another shot that I used was a reverse shot I filmed Darren talking and the other shot is Yanick.

I used the 180 degree rule in my last shot showing Darren throwing a pice of paper and the next shot will be the paper going in the bin. I also used the match on action in my video of Darren talking in one shot and the second shot will have Yanick and it will go back to Darren.

Planing for the encounter

This week in the media lessons I learnt the different shot types for example 180° rule. A 180° is a invisible line .Another thing that I learnt in the media lesson was match on action and what it does. I also learnt what a shot reverse shot this was something new that I haven't learnt before.Then i could use these angles to film my footage.

 In the media lesson I create a storyboard for a video production that I have to film with my friend  I had to say in my storyboard what  is the story line and which location it would be filmed. Then which sound effects I would use also what location I would use.

My Media Summer

During my summer holidays I watched a movie called Lets Be Cops.  The genre of this movie is comedy and it is about two protagonists pretending to be police officers and taking advantage of the law system. Whilst preparing to go to a costume party, the two characters named Justin and Ryan decide to dress up as police officers but soon realize that everybody suspects them of being real cops. This leads them to take the law into their own hands such as taking marijuana off teenagers and smoking it themselves.  This film demonstrates how police officers hold a certain authority over the public and how willing people are to obey those that hold greater power than themselves. 

I listened to a variety of music over the summer and a song which I particularly enjoyed was It’s My Birthday by Will.i.am and Cody Wise, which originally came from a Tamil Indian song. It is a popular song which is validated as it came number 1 in the UK charts. The genre is pop and it is a feel good song. It is about the endless possibilities of what you can do on your birthday such as in the lyrics ‘I’mma spend my money’. This song helps motivate me to be more active and to live life everyday as if it is my birthday.

I spent many hours of my summer watching an award winning drama called Breaking Bad. The plot consists of a teacher who develops lung cancer and is struggling to pay for his treatments.  He decides to form a partnership with a former student into producing and selling crystal meth amphetamine. The show portrays how people are negatively affected by the use of the drugs. I enjoyed the development of the characters a person called Water White he is a teacher that sells drugs, he is doing  this simply to leave enough money for his family before he passes away. I also enjoyed the suspense generated during each episode which can make the plot unpredictable and there are elements of comedy such as Jesse Pinkman's  famous catchphrase ‘Yo bitch’.

Everyday during summer I spent my time on Facebook. I found it particularly useful because I went on  holiday and it enabled me to message and keep up to date with my friends and family members. Also I was able to upload many photographs of my holiday so the whole community could observe what I got up to. Facebook helps people to be more social and raise awareness to issues and this can be portrayed through how celebrities put themselves through the ALS ice bucket challenges. This lead to the public also doing these ice bucket challenges which helped increase charity donations for ALS disease.

A news story which developed in July was that a plane flying over Ukraine was shot down killing many civilians on board. The incident occurred when the aeroplane took a different route and ended up between Ukraine and Russia boarder. The Malaysia plane was shot down by pro- Russian rebels and resulted to 283 people dying. My reaction to hearing this news was of surprise and sadness and it makes me question how humans can be so cruel.
