The clip i have chosen to analyse is an arguement at breakfast between 2 sisters from coronation street.
From this clip there is no good or bad characters but the way Rosie (older sister) is teasing to the little sister we get the impression Rosie is the bad person in this scene.
The story told in this scene is an arguement about a man that either of the girls could be trying to show off about him.
We know this scene is set in a house because the mise-en-scene used in this particular scene is that of an everyday house e.g. breakfast table, kitchen in the background, all the family together.
In the scene there is not the widest of camera shots used. Its uses mid-shots for when one character is speaking and it also uses fairly longshots to show all the family in one and house hold items in the background. When the 2 sisters argue there is sometimes some over the should shots. Also the camera man sticks to the 180 degree rule.
Sound is used diagetically in this clip as we can hear a radio and we know the family can hear it as its a typical family thing to do having the radio on in the morning

Preliminary Task Magazine Evaluation Questions
1. Who did you work with and how did you manage the task between you?
I worked with Josh on this task to create a magazine cover.
2. How did you plan your cover and contents page? What magazines did you use for your inspiration?
We planned our cover to have a question of the day with a large picture of someone relating to the question of the day. We then planned having other little article headings scattered around the sides of the cover.
3. What technology did you use to complete the task, and how did you use it?
we used a camera to picture the boy. we then used a computer programme called photoshop to edit and add other things.
4. What factors did you have to take into account when planning, shooting and editing?
we had to make sure the camera shot was a mid-shot showing the persons body and head but not legs. we also had to make sure the picture was suitable for the cover of a magazine
5. Which magazines conventions does the magazine follow?
We stuck to the 3 font colour rule and the 3 font style rule.
6. Which does it break?
i dont believe it breaks any
7. Who is your target audience and how does the layout/images/fonts/colour pallate/cover lines appeal to them?
our Target Audience is non limited, its suitable for a school which was our theme. we used colours to suit both genders like yellow's and blue and green.
8. Does the magazine appeal to new or regular readers – how do you know?
9. How successful was your magazine cover? Identify what worked well, and with hindsight, what would you improve/do differently?
I thought our idea of the question on the front relation to the picture was unique. i believe having a question on the front would make the readers want to find out the answer.
10. What have you learnt about producing a magazine front cover and contents page? Looking ahead, how will this learning be significant when completing the rest of your foundation coursework? I now know using the 3 font/colour rule is better as it doesn't take all eyes of the magazine, as if it was too colourful it would look non-professional. i also feel if taking a picture of somebody for a magazine a mid-shot would suit best

Preliminary Task - Film Evaluation Questions
1. Who did you work with and how did you manage the task between you?
I worked with Josh Cat and Maz in this piece, Me and Maz acted mainly while Josh and Cat filmed.
2. How did you plan your short filmed piece? Did you use any other films for your inspiration?
We used about a boy as an inspirational film using a few lines from that, we planned our short film as a breaking up scene in a cafe.
3. What technology did you use to complete the task, and how did you use it?
We used a video camera to film.
4. What factors did you have to take into account when planning, shooting and editing?
make sure the scene is right for a cafe, editing must have relevant music as a backing track.
5. Which film conventions does the piece follow? e.g. music, match on action, 180 degree rule, camera work etc
It follows the 180 degree rule well.
6. Which does it break?
We used copy right music as a soundtrack instead of our own created piece on garage band.
7. How did you consider mise en scene? e.g. lighting, camera work, setting, costume, props etc
We got some props for a cafe scene like mugs tea bisquits, and layed out tables like a cafe scene, we also used a pretend waitor.
8. How did you consider narrative? Is there a sense of a storyline? Can any theorists be applied e.g. Barthes, Todorov, Propp, Levi Strauss
There is the sense of a short story line about a break up.
9. How successful was your filmed piece? Identify what worked well, and with hindsight, what would you improve/do differently?
We had a short time slot to film therefore i feel we rushed certain shots. i also believed if we filmed with the camera closer to the people the voices would be heard more clear
10. What have you learnt about producing a short piece of film? Looking ahead, how will this learning be significant when completing the rest of your foundation coursework? Knowing that using a variety of camera shots makes the piece flow a lot more slow. also the 180 degree would be key if were following a conversation

Garage Band
For our 2nd piece we were not alloud to use a copyright theme tune therefore we used a programme (Garage Band) to create our own piece. It has a variety of instrument solo's from guitars to piano's to electronic sounds.
I worked with Josh Cat and Maz on garage band. Unfortunately we could not find any decent sounds for our piece. Using garage band will help in the future so we can easily create music.

Magazine Covers
We paired up to create a magazine cover and contents. Using a picture of somebody around the school taken from a mid-shot angle. We have to take 3 Colours, 3 Fonts and not too much writing into accountantcy while creating the cover for a magazine thats called 'Lutto's Latest'. I worked with Josh on this practical as we are similar and like the same things and colours.
After designing our cover and contents we went out to take a picture for the front cover. We went out to take a picture but were unsuccessful as we could not find anyone fit to have the picture of them taken.

2nd practical
We and Josh decided to pair up with Cat and Maz to see if we could work with both genders. Together we worked well to produce a piece where Maz dumped Wez in a cafe scene.
The scene was suppose to be in the coffee shop but it was closed so we had to improvise and filmed it in one of the D.T rooms.
We used a variety of shots sticking to the 180 degree rule.
In the edits we mainly used fade in/outs we also tried to create a backing track but it didn't work well.
Overall i think it was a good team effort and i thought it was a change from having an all boy group. The film went smoothly but the edits was quite difficult.

1st practical practice
For our first practical we had to make a short clip with a variety of camera shots. i belived our group worked together well as we were all boys (4 boys). In group was Me, Jamie, Josh and Ben. We filmed many different shots involving 3 of us, a moped and a pigeon. Me and Josh then departed from Jamie and Ben so we could make seperate edits on imovie. On imovie Me and Josh cut down the scenes took out any outakes and used effects like fade in and fade out to make the clip run smoother. I liked our editing as it also had a backing track of 'thunderbirds are go' by Busted the reason this song went well with our clip was because the moped was moving so it went with the title "thunderbirds are go" as the title states something on the go. While filming Jamie did most of the camera shots while ben was the main character. We did a variety of shots in our piece such as.. point of view, mid-shot,close-up,extreme close-up,long shot,tracking shot,high angle shot etc..
Overall i think our film ran very smoothly and we all took part in the filming weather it was acting or filming.. I think we could improve the shots as we didnt do a high enough "high angle shot" and we also had to re-film the tracking shot many of times as we kept jerking the camera while moving it. Also i think our editing went well because the film ran smoothly and wasn't boring.. Ours was unique in a way that we had no sounds from filming we only had the sound track.
