The Phone Call

In the last few lesssons in Media we have had to plan, create and edit a short film called The Phone Call. we had planning sheets, to prepare us for filming, i found these helpfull as they prepared me for what I would be doing in the following lessons.


We used a camcorder to film, this is new equiptment to use, i have learnt how to use a camcorder better, and i have noticed how much needs to be thought about when filming, such as there needs to be no shadows in the background of things such as windows, mirrors etc. the setting is appropriet and there isnt any unwanted objects in a shot.


After the group had filmed the group edited it on a Mac, and i think that the end result has come out well for a first attempt. There is use of music and titles which improved the production.


Looking at how other groups filmed was helpful also to get any ideas that will help me in creating my coursework.

So I would give this peice of work a level 2 - 3 according to the sheet we have as the film shows that the shots were steady, framing a shot, various shot differences, appropriet material used, also appropriet mise en scene,suitable editing, use of sound within the editing process.
