Preliminary Task

To start off our AS Media Studies course, we are asked to do a Preliminary Task.

Before starting the task, I had limited knowledge on editing films on iMovie and I was not very confident with filming using professional recording cameras.

Our brief for the task was to produce a short clip which was approximately one minute long and had good continuity and used a wide range of camera shots. We also had to edit it on the programme iMovie by using various sound effects and camera effects.

To make our clip more interesting, we decided to have a plot. Our clip was about a girl in a school who was being followed but she wasn't aware of it. The stalker rang the victim anonymously and using our editing skills, we made it look like the stalker appeared out of nowhere.

Overall, we did not have any major problems when using iMovie, however, as we do not have lots of experience of using iMovie, we did not know how to do everything on it to make our clip the best it could be regarding editing. However, I think, with time, our iMovie skills will improve and so the standard of our coursework will increase.
