Skill

I am good at this

I can do this but need to improve

I need to acquire this skill


Using a camera (photography or video) including those built into a mobile phone


 

✅

 

 


Recording sound either on its own or as part of a video

 

 ✅

 


Using light for the effect, either in still photography or moving image

 

 

 ✅


Using video or photo editing software

 

 ✅

 


Using desk-top publishing software

 

 ✅

 

 

Writing for specific purposes and audience

 ✅

 

 

 

Producing social media such as Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook

 

✅

 

 

 

Using online applications to enhance the meaning of texts, for example Prezzi, Powtoon, Slideshare

 

 

 ✅

 

I believe my greatest strengths are using a camera, writing for different audiences, and creating social media content. I have practiced editing photos and videos as well as designing layouts with publishing software. However, I still need to improve at recording sound and using light effectively, since my projects don’t always capture clear audio or the mood I want. In the future, I hope to learn advanced sound and lighting techniques to strengthen my work.

As for my group mates, Isabel has a strong interest and experience in editing, making her the best fit for that role. Tatiana’s skills shine in social media production, and she also contributes effectively with lighting and sound.

As a group, we decided that I will focus on writing specific text for our audience and using the camera, Isabel will handle editing and online applications to enhance our film, and Tatiana will take charge of producing social media, managing lighting effects, and recording sound.

Camera Movements

Image
In this blog, I will be exploring different camera movements, showing how each one can change the way we see a scene. I’ll explain what each shot does, how it affects the audience, and why it’s used in filming Tilt: The shot begins at the student’s feet and tilts upward, capturing her hands as she struggles to choose a book. By leaving her face out of frame, the tilt emphasizes her hesitation through gesture and movement rather than expression. Depending on the pace, the shot can serve different purposes. At normal speed, it presents an ordinary moment, while in slow motion, it builds suspense and highlights the difficulty of her choice. Steadicam: This Steadicam shot captures two friends studying in the library. As they continue their work while talking with others around them, the shot creates a natural and realistic atmosphere. Its purpose is to give the audience a glimpse of everyday student life, showing the characters in a familiar and authentic setting. Dolly shot:  This d...

Preliminary Exercise

 Two friends mourning together in silence                                              This photo shows two friends sitting close together, sharing a quiet moment of grief. Even without words, you can feel the support between them through their body language and how they lean toward each other. The black‑and‑white filter adds to the mood, making the scene feel heavier and more focused on their emotions instead of the background. The eye‑level angle keeps everything honest and simple, almost like you’re witnessing the moment in real time. How this could've been improved?  A softer light source could’ve made the emotion stand out even more Commentary on decisions I made during shooting: I moved in close, so their hands and faces were the main focus, since that’s where the emotion really shows. I kept the framing simple and didn’t try to over stage anything. The bla...
