In today's lesson, me and my group uploaded the footage we had from the camera to the computer. We added everything into a file so we, as a group could access it all.
We then played around with the editing programme, Adobe Premiere Pro to get used to everything and see how things worked, like the effects, sound and text. Once we had learnt about the programme we started the editing with our footage.
As a group. We took turns to use the editing software and create different things within the video. We shared the cutting, effects, texts and putting the actual video together between the 4 of us so we all had a go and learn for our real thriller task as no one in the group had a good knowledge on how the Adobe editing software worked.
By doing the editing, we learn about the programme and what we have to do for our real task.
I had never used an editing programme before, so for me, this task meant I got the chance to learn as well as create something that I enjoyed doing. Everything I have done is going to help me when I create my thriller.

Preliminary Task - Lesson 2
In today's lesson, my group made another A3 sheet with Preliminary task ideas on.
We wrote down our full idea of what we were going to do; so we had location, clothing, props, the type of scene we were going to do and the dialogue.
This sheet allowed us, as a group, to do a full preliminary video and know what we were going to do.
We used this sheet to help us set up or scene and create our scene.
After we did the second half of the planning, we started our story board with our full idea on of what we were going to film.
We then started the filming. We used the Nikon D3100 camera to film our scene which gave us a good quality image.
We set up our scene in a science lab with equipment that fitted the scene and used artificial lighting to make it brighter, however, as we have come to look at the footage, we realised we didn't need to light as the location was already bright and we noticed we had a light reflection on o white board which we couldn't do anything about. We now know that when we come to film the real thing, lighting may not be needed and if it is, then to place it somewhere that it can't be seen.
In this task, we did a number of camera shots including an over the shoulder shot, medium shot and long shot, however we didn't use a shot reverse shot, which we could have used. We didn't use the shot reverse shot because we felt that we couldn't do the shot with what we were filming and how we wanted it to turn out.
When we come to do the real thriller, we now have an idea of how the filming works. We also know what can be done and what we should think about doing, like using an artificial light or the camera shots we use.

Research One For The Preliminary Task and Introduction To The Coursework.
To start off with, we were introduced to the coursework task. We got information on what the assignment consisted of, what we will have to do, deadlines and what percentage the assignment is worth. We then got told about the preliminary task, what we would have to do, and what that consisted off. After the explanation of the assignment had finished, we moved on to start the research and development for the preliminary task which was an inside taster as to what we would be doing when we start the 'Thriller' task.
To start off the preliminary task, my group had to create a mind map of ideas that consisted of Costume, Location, Scenario, Script and Actors. We had to do this so, we, as a group could come together and decide on something that was worth while doing for the task.
Me (Heather Pullen), Aaron Hilton, Jacob Richardson and Bethany Harris came up with a few ideas that were all different that we could use in our preliminary task.
The mind map had some ideas that we didn't use as things would get too complicated or we just weren't able to do them, however, we took the best ideas and started to develop them into a video.
Once we had ideas on our mind map, we had to decide on what to do and how we could develop the small ideas into big ideas for the task.
This is our mind map showing the different ideas we had.
