2nd of February, First film class!

Today was our first film class, and we have Ms.Wong as our teacher!

Today we mostly just reviewed certain aspects of film, such as sound (foley etc.) and using functions on the camera to create moods/ effects as well as using lighting. We did this by filming set scenes, and showing the same scenes in different moods, i.e. using harsh lighting to show an angry scene and soft lighting to show a happy one.

The AOI that we will be focusing on is Human Ingenuity, and How and Why we create.

The IB learner profile that I think best describes my work today is as a knowledgable learner (see below). We really delved into some of the aspects of literally filming that affect the outcome of the film, and helped us to understand how effects and moods are created.

Knowledgeable Learners: They explore concepts, ideas and issues that have local and global significance. In so doing, they acquire in-depth knowledge and develop understanding across a broad and balanced range of disciplines.

My aim in film this year is to refine the (limited) skills I already have. We are going to be focusing on skills and editing (things like continuity) and I really want to improve. Hopefully by the end of the year I will have the ability to create film pieces that I am actually happy with.

I'm so excited to be starting film!
