Opening of my AS Media Studies Coursework

In media it is up to us to create an opening of a movie sequence. The movie opening has to be the lengh of 2 minutes.


Before we begin to film our opening sequence, we have to complete an exercise in continuity editing. To do this we have to recored a scene that includes a character walking through the door to greet another character. These characters then share a few pieces of dialogue between them. This ensures we use continuity editing and shot-reverse shot techniques. 


Last lesson we filmed the shot of one charactor walking into the auditorium,sit beside the other character who was playing the piano. This also helped us get used to the mini-DV camcorders along side of the tripods. To edit these shots we used Adobe premier Pro.


Whilst doing this I found the process to be interesting and easy. I had no problem shooting the footage we have and found it simple to put together.
