On Thursdays lesson I worked in a group with Chloe, Jack and Alfie to make a short video about a mysterious case. With Chloe, Jack and I as the actors, Alfie worked as the camera man and director.
    The way we made our video more interesting was by using different camera angles.  When Chloe would talk we had the camera facing her and the same with Jack. Other shots we included were shots from a distance, shots from above, and shots going from toe to head.
     On Fridays lesson Chloe and I edited these videos together on iMovie so it was all in one video. We cropped some of the scenes we disliked or thought were un-necessary to make the video more interesting to watch. Chloe and I also added different songs and sound affects to give the video more of an impact. We used a heartbeat for the first part of the video which gradually speeded up throughout the video until the end which created suspense. We also included a creepy song for the last scene of the video so we could scare the viewers, which also led onto a sudden scream that was also a sound affect.
     The scream took place at the end of the video when I opened my eyes so this might make the viewers wonder what may of happened next. I think our filming went quite well and I enjoyed doing it although, a way we could have made it better would have been to paid more attention to the camera and making sure it was always in focus, for example when the camera did a close up on my eyes for the last scene.

  1. You worked well planning and filming. Here, you give a good account of your editing decisions. You can now add in two types of supporting illustration: a screenshot that proves that you edited in iMovie and the photos of you filming.

  2. Thank you for adding in the photographs. The term that you are looking for at the beginning is 'shot reverse shot'. Now edit this post so that there are paragraphs.
