 The lighting in our video was rather unpredictable as the weather was constantly changing so we had a few lighting issues that we had to get round.The main lighting issue was when they made the transaction of the drugs (0.37) as the suns glare meant that the label on the pot was obscured which meant you couldn't read it which was a problem as that was the main section of the video. the reason we had problems this was because the cameras we were using were on auto mode which meant the camera adjusted the lighting in the area which made the lighting wrong if we had used the manual mode then we could have adjusted the lighting to the preferences that we wanted.

 Our first establishing shot was from a high angle, (0.01) we also had a low camera shot that led into our point of view shot which was a close up of a watch showing the time.This didn't cause any problems as when we took these shots nothing really went wrong apart from a mistake on my part as i adjusted the camera and you can see that in the video which is technically wrong as we were only allowed one camera movement in the whole shoot and our moving shot was the giving of the drugs.

We did have a bit of a dodgy long shot which was followed by another long shot (0.25) which had been moved slightly but not enough to be worth doing. when we did the original shot i then moved the camera to a different angle but the angle didn't really move so it looked like a bit of a filler shot that shouldn't really be there.

Our camera movement involved 2 smaller movements showing the transaction of the drugs (0.36) and then up to a witness who you could just see in the back ground (0.39) which connotes that aren't supposed to be there.the camera movement follows the transaction of the drugs from the dealer to the

We had a couple of fades at the beginning of the video in the titles and the same in the credits.this was mainly just make the video see like it flowed better.

We managed to keep to the 180 degree rule for the majority of the video but there was one mistake just before the close up of the watch but we managed to see what we had done so we wouldn't make the same mistake again.

We had 2 establishing shots in our video one right at the beginning (0.01) and one when the dealer and payer were in a shot together (0.29) this was effective as this showed the view what was going on at these points without the risk of any confusion also this hows where the characters we also included a shot reverse shot after the re-establishing shot to show that they were there to make a deal.

  1. Andy,

    This post does not have a title and it seems rather rushed. There are no screen shots and there is a lack of Media terminology in places, e.g., there is no such thing as a 'dodgy' long shot.

    Please revisit this post and explain what techniques you used, why you used them and then add an image to back up the point. You need to work a bit harder in lessons to ensure you reach your full potential.
