WHAT WE'VE DONE

INTRODUCTION TO CAPTURE

We did a mind - map of what capture is

We went out with a camera and capture a topic that we chose in pairs mine was capturing birmingham

MOVING IMAGE LANGUAGE

SOUND CLIPS -We had a clip from crouching tiger hidden dragon and with that clip we had to add music and sound that we thought would work.

EDITING CLIPS -We had the shower scene from the 1960's movie phsyco and we had to change that into a advert for shower gel using all the editing equipment

WORKING IN TV

We had to research some jobs which were make-up ,hair design and prop making, then we used that information to create a short film advertising those jobs

SOAP OPERA

Soap opera was a good topic because had to make a timeline of british soap opera from the start which was first on the radio, then we changed to TV. After that we had to find out what makes british soap opera unique and why the soaps are so successful. The soap operas we mainly focused on was Eastenders, Coronation Street , Emmerdale and Hollyoaks. we also showed why social realism played a big part in the soaps
