Review report

At the beginning of this unit I had to create a blog on a site called blogger this was so I could publish my future work and videos etc. this was an easy task to create a blogger account, we also had to upload a picture and a video from the internet and publish them on our blog which I did and also found easy. We then had to select two adverts from YouTube, embed them onto our blog the write up an evaluation on the adverts, this was more difficult but I done it successfully. 

In the second week of my media course I had to think up and then write a script about my passion, what I am interested. My chosen subject was to talk about the horror genre and why I like that sort of film. I also had to learn how to use video filming equipment and practice filming the five camera angels shot rule. I also had to in a group discuss existing video profiles.

In week three I had to go back to the film footage, which I filmed the previous week, and write up a review on it then post both the video and the review on my blog. I also had to learn about mind mapping and what they consist of. I then had to produce my own mind map and write a definition to what a mind map is.  This week is also when I filmed my scripted footage; I enjoyed filming my script and had fun learning how to use the camera etc.

I spent week 4 editing my filmed footage; I added an audio to it and also a picture. The most important part to my film was the horror clips taken from YouTube. It took me a while to understand and learn how to use the final cut program but when I got the hang of it to it and started editing my film I had fun and enjoyed making my film perfect. I finished my film and editing by the end of the week and am very proud of my first effort at making a short film.

The final week of my unit I had to evaluate my video profile, get at least five people from my media class to view and comment my video then I had to write an evaluation on my last 5 weeks of carrying out the tasks of this unit. I don’t enjoy writing very much but I found it easy to evaluate my unit and video profile even though it was quite time consuming. Overall I enjoyed this first unit of my new media course and look forward to doing more work in this course.
