First/ Inferance task

Hello, So the other day we got set a practise task; which was to use inferences in film making to make it look like someone is being stabbed. I worked with Dominic Bramley, Kasey Stanley and Mr Welch. As a group we came up with the plot of a over exaggerated teacher and a student with attitude about a set assignment. The pupil didn't hand in the set work and the teacher had had enough with students like this. The teacher then stabs the student. We did this so that we can show our understanding of using inference within media. We do this so that we can practise different skills so that we can use some of the stuff we learn in our final thriller opening.

Welcome to my blog!

I'm currently studying media for A Levels and to be honest, it's a little daunting! The reason I chose to study media is because I love to analyse things, books, people, films and pretty much anything. It's always why? Why do people do this? Why did the author use that technique? And why did the director use that particular angle? It could be to create an effect, or to show a hidden meaning or anything else really, I just like to know why so hopefully I will enjoy media. I love photography so hopefully this will help when recording clips for coursework. The daunting part is the speaking to people and doing group work.  Our task is to create a 2.5 minute trailer for a thriller film which will be interesting to say the least. On this blog I will be posting "the evolution of our film" or whatever you will call it, so I hope whoever is reading this enjoys!       ~ Beth
