Intro (:

So, I didn't exactly write an introduction about what I'm doing this blog for. It's basically for my media coursework, to keep you up to date with how my media work is going. Our task is to film a 2 minute opening to a movie, the genre is our choice, everything is our choice.
Robert, Emily and I have chosen to work on a War/Romance film, which can be edited in a way which will show many techniques. We plan to use a productive set, which can accomodate the needs of our filming. Both diagetic and non-diagetic sound, in the form of enhancement, voice overs and simple rustling of the grass below. We'll use cutting techniques, mostly just simple cuts because time won't be passing very fast. The only time we may use a fade in or out is when the woman stands, after writing the letter, and leaves. We'll use match on action, when doing over the shoulder shots, mid front shots, and long shots, etc. We could also use parallel editing, to show the girl writing the letter, and the man off at war. The only problem then, is that we can't use footage recorded by another source. Damn.
I'm hoping you won't get too bored with whats going on.. lol? but i'm mainly going to type stuff about my media lesson, but maybe a bit about my life? Who knows. One thing I do find it important to write, is how much I can't wait to learn to drive, It's not really important to you, but it is to me :) And how much I'm looking forward to the future, and being away from here.
Anyway, enjoy (:

we're just teenage kids with dreams that are just too big.
