SMART START
Yes, it's 'use your pencil as a camera' time! I'll suggest 5 camera movements and you need to use your pencil to demonstrate your understanding of the technical code!
LEARNING CHECK
How many camera movements could you demonstrate?
THE BIG PICTURE
What is the media language associated with camera angles, camera distances, lighting and editing?
EXPLAIN
We will use the Audio / Visual Media Language page in the sidebar to define camera angles, distances, lighting & editing.
PRACTISE
In your online learning journal, create a post entitled 'Audio Visual Media Language'. List and categorise all of the media language from my teaching blog. For each item in your list, create a hyperlink to the AV example from the teaching blog. If I haven't provided an example, find your own, host in your Google Drive and provide a hyperlink as before.
Then, in the same post, describe the first 2 minutes of following extract using as much media language as possible. I want to be able to visualise the clip in my head from just your description. Consider...
- Camera distances
- Camera angles
- Camera movement
- Soundtrack
- Lighting
- Editing
LEARNING CHECK
How much have you taken on board? Without referring to your online journal (or my media language page), complete the following learning check. How many of the media language examples can you label?
At the end of the test, take a screenshot of your certificate (using Snipping Tool) and post on your blog in a separate post (Media Language Learning Check 1).
It won't surprise you to hear that you will retake this quiz (very soon!), so you need to revise all of the media language defined today. You will keep retaking this test (or something similar) until you have mastered this language!
HOMEWORK
Learn all of the media language covered today. Next week, we will review the media language associated with print products.
