AXEL'S VISIT

Yesterday in my Media Studies lesson, a professional camera man Axel came to speak to us about how to use a camera properly and I learned a lot of new skills and techniques for filming. Axel informed me of what was weak in my preliminary task and so I realised that I should not have left so much head room in my film and I had to use the entire space in the camera, cutting out large spaces of empty space. I also learned that zooming is not always the best thing to do because it can make a film look to 'fake' and unrealistic. This made me aware of how to film properly in the future and I soon noticed my own mistakes that I made in my preliminary task after Axel pointed some out to me. We also learned more about the 180 degree rule and how easy it is to break. He enjoyed all of our preliminary tasks and was a great help. I enjoyed Axel's visit because he told us of different films he had shot, like Star Wars and Tomb Raider!
