New video Project
I am still slightly undecided as what to choose but I'm pretty confident that i will go with the video production task, i chose this task over the magazine one because you have to be interested in music, (Which i am not) and there's allot of written work involved which I'm not that good at. I feel more confident when I'm drawing our doing something practical, so film sounds like the ideal choice as you have to do storyboards and set designs as well as filming. I also love films.

Evaluation
We used the typical media conventions in which you see within television programs and films within our own film pieces e.g the use of the 180 degree rule and match on action. Without the use of these camera movements and editing our films will look armature and will only confuse and disorientate them. It could be said that our media piece represents a teenage social group as we talk about the different subjects which are most important within our lives(football). It's for this reason that i believe our piece would be targeted at a young teenage audience like skins, so to attract my audience i would continue to talk about the sort of issues which arise within the lives of the youth today. I feel as though i have learnt a lot on the technical side when it comes to editing as it was a whole new experience so it was good to learn how to to shorten and lengthen clips as well as being able to find out how to change the volume controls. I also learnt how to for the first time import a video file from YOUTUBE on to a blog. Overall i feel i didn't realise how much paper work and permission you needed before you even begin doing any filming. Overall i feel that our film piece was successful in completing the objectives of the media conventions and were very pleased with the final product.

Editting
With the use of a computer program we were able to manipulate our footage which we had filmed in order to extend or crop a clip. We first of a
ll had to capture the images from the camcorder which was connected to the computer in order to edit them. Then we set the clips in to the correct order as the script.

Before we could even start filming our story we had to find our location and ask for permission to use the area to film, it's then after that we had to do a concept plan of our location which would give us an in site into where the cameras would be, and where the 180 degree and match on action rules would be taking place. We then decided between the three of us who would be doing the acting and who would be working the camera. When actualy doing the filming we realised that some of our original layout plans wouldn't actualy work within the scene, so we had to make some alterations. We also had to add in the scene where we cut to someone scoring a goal but due to time restrictions we actualy had to just film kicking a football.
