As we are studying media at A-level we thought it would be a good idea to have a look at the SAE institute in London which specialises in Media studies, Animation and Gaming. Visiting this uni was a benefit for our media project as we got to find out about what editing software was best to use, look at the top equipment which is used by the film industry and how certain shots are made. We had questions on how to make certain shots we wanted to use in our music video, which we wasn't too sure on how to make/edit so by going here we got to speak to people who know a lot more about media than we do.
We got to have a look at a green screen, and a white screen which is usually used in scenes which cannot to shot in everyday life as you can warp to scenes together to look like one. However we cannot get our hands on one of these to actually film our music video which would have been a huge benefit as it would have created professional looking footage. We learnt about lighting, how to use a steady cam and what are thge 'tricks of the trade'
By having this day out it allowed us to elaborate our ideas and decided to be more creative with our shots & footage as we have a wider knowledge of the subject and how to create different effects.
In these pictures you can see Emma using a steady cam, we learnt how to mantle the steady cam and walk in a straight like to get a steady shot, also there was specific lighting such as the use of a small umbrella over the main light allowed the light to spread around the room and decrease shadows from ruining a shot. The green&white screen were made without corners which was found interesting as it means that you can film someone walking along with a limitation of space as there is no corner. Also one of the pictures you can see if from the view of the steady cam with Emma in and some writing at the bottom.
