The start of my AS Media Studies - My First Lesson

I have just begun my AS Media Studies at Smithdon. In our first lesson we had an overview of the course and were given our A-Level text books. We were given a very brief outline on using the Cameras, and had to record different types of shot from a sheet we were given such as:
  • Extreme close-up (ECU)
  • Medium Shot (MS)
  • Over the shoulder shot
  • Medium Close up (MCU)

We then had to import our short clips into IMovie. I found it very intresting because it showed how certain types of shot can have different effects on mood and how someone is portrayed.
