Walk around school

For this media task, we had to create an un-edited short film of a tour at St.Marks. Our aim was to incorporate the information of the facilities and subjects to new students through our ideas and skill of camera shots. We got into groups and were asked to produce a film of this topic that was no longer than 10 minutes. In our group of 3, including me, we exchanged our ideas and decided on our roles for this production. It consisted of a camera-man and a interviewee/guide. This way each of us participated in a certain way and contributed for the film. We aimed our short tour at new students that we hoped they would be persuaded in approaching St.Marks as their choice. We decided to create a simple and informal film, this way we were ensured that we could get that persuasion and positive feeling for this school as those new students would feel relaxed and not pressured as other tours can make them feel. We used many camera shots such as; wide shot, dolly shot, swish pam shot, over the shoulder shot and more. This helped show our skills using a camera and to improve our professionalism we used a tripod in some scenes to get rid of any shakiness. We weren't allowed to do any editing or changes to the film but it still looked good and understandable. I'm looking forward to do some more filming and hopefully use some editing software. This will definitely improve and help us create a better video than this one.
