Filming

We have started filming for both films. We have been walking around school filming various shots that fit into our storyboard. We have filmed in a number of lessons such as music, food tech, IT, DT, PE that would look good in the film that promotes the school. We have also filmed a number of general shots around the school of buildings and corridors. We have done a number of shots that show the school in a bad light such as graffiti, vandalism,broken glass, litter and old buildings.
We have experimented with a wide angle lens, ideal for exterioir shots of the school and wide views of classrooms.

Representing Your School

The aim of our task is to get us thinking about how the media can construct a place for different aims and purposes. I will be thinking about what devises and techniques a media producer can use to create a representation.

In groups we need to create two short films. One will promote the school to prospective parents and the other will ask for extra funding from prospective sponsors and investors. The school must be represented accordingly in each 2-3 minute film. The first film will advertise the school, the other will highlight issues within the school that can be resolved through funding and justify the need.
