Weather Films

18th September 09

As I have just started a creative media course at Bath College this is my first attempt with a camera making films! (ahhhhh scary!) In our first lesson with Jo, our film teacher, we had to make three short films portraying the weather. We had to think about how we could capture the weather in our films, this had to be achieved using three different shots of, close up, long shot and medium shot. In the first scene we (Me, Jadine and Charlie) wanted to capture winter, to achieve this we took a close up of Jadine shivering and wrapped up in a scarf and hat. In the second shot was a long shot of me walking away with an umbrella in order to show that it was raining. The last shot was a medium shot of the sun shining through the trees. As this was our first attempt at making films I feel like we completed the task really well. the close up of Jadine was our most successful film as it really got across to our audience just how cold the weather was. Our second shot didnt work very well as there was no rain as it was sunny on the day we filmed. the last shot had a really good affect as the sun shining through the leaves gave the feel of a warm sunshiny day.
