We have just finished our mocks for media, they both proved harder than anticipated, but I think everyone found that, so not to worry too much. Just need to keep on practicing.In lesson recently we have been working on our coursework, this has been mainly editing, and filming out of lessons. This is proving a little more difficult than we first anticipated.
in the other half of our Media course, we have gone through our mocks papers and started filming a little fun clip of representing gender. Our task was to film a 'break up scene', we were sperated into all one sex groups and had to represent the way the girls react to a break up with the girly friends and the way boy would react to the situation.. this would be shown through mise en scene and manorisms.. we would also use camera angle to show emotion and the status of the girls. I will post the video of our gender representation as soon as it is all edited. :)

FILMING :) x
Two weeks ago..we started the filming. I think we had all forgotten how long it takes to film a short clip of film! this was shown by the fact that we expected to of shot our whole movie in the space of 2 hours, but quickly reaslises it took us this 2 hours to flim the first 10 seconds of the film... literally! Despite this, we had a lot of fun, as well as working hard filming.
We needed to set the camera and tripod up at the exact point where the camera would merge through the door. This is us attempting it!
Last week was the week we did most of the filming downstairs, the zooming onto jess' face..the view from outside the house, looking into the window and seeing Jess
.
It took us a while to get set up and to get into the swing of things again, but after a few takes we were on a roll! We filmed the shots a few different ways so we had a choice when it came to digitalising and editing our film.

Box office on the move comes to the iPod and iPhone
‘Insanely great’ is the punchy epithet applied by author Steven Levy to describe the development and rise of the Apple Mac computer. After initial success there followed a period of waning fortunes in the late 1990s, until the iMac turned around the iconic company’s performance. But it was the development of iTunes and the iPod that had a truly transformative effect, not just on Apple’s stock price but also on the way we buy and listen to recorded music. As a result the music business has changed forever.
The iPod has since developed into an interactive multi-media centre, able to screen films and TV shows, and the iPod Touch and iPhone variants also allow users to surf the internet. Organising and playing back music is just one of many features of new generation iPods, and there is now a burgeoning interest in ‘apps’, little software add-ons that allow users to play games, check stock prices, keep up to date with social networks and so on. And now, thanks to Rentrak, users can also track box office figures in the US and internationally through their iPod Touch or iPhone.
Rentrak is offering the service through its first consumer applications, known as FilmScope and FilmScope WorldWide.
According to Rentrak’s press release, FilmScope ‘will provide film enthusiasts with top line U.S. domestic box office results and expanded film information, [while] FilmScope Worldwide will offer an international perspective with box office intelligence on multiple international territories, all of which was previously only available to Rentrak subscribers.’
And there’s more: you can also use the Rentrak database to search for film information, by actor, title or director, alongside a calendar feature that provides a schedule of upcoming film releases. The service also allows users to book tickets for theatrical screenings and consult film reviews (although I’m not sure if this is available outside the US). It’s basically IMDb on the move, with the added bonus of up to date boffo numbers.
Here’s what Ron Giambra, Renrak’s executive vice president of theatrical, has to say: "Film fans have never been able to access this level of detailed information so quickly, all by using FilmScope. FilmScope allows iPhone and iPod Touch consumers a fun and comprehensive way to find out everything they ever wanted to know about new and previously released movies and the actors, directors and studios behind them."
The launch of this service comes a few weeks after Webalo revealed it had entered into a deal with Lionsgate to make market intelligence data available to executives via their smartphones. That was a business-to-business application, which simply took a company’s existing data and fed it to remote handsets whenever someone needed the information.
The Rentrak service is aimed at consumers, and provides access to the company’s box office data. You’d probably expect to pay a premium for such a privilege. Not so. FilmScope services are available for a one-off fee of £2.99 ($4.99) for U.S. domestic box office information and £5.99 ($9.99) for FilmScope Worldwide. That’s less than the cost of a cinema ticket in the West End. And there’s absolutely no subscription charge.
What an insanely great idea.
