In a group of four we created a short scene based on a card game. as a group we decided it would be best to plan the scene first, give ourselves charcters and decided what would happen. The sene began with a member of the group walking into the college, we used a long shot to establish the secene and allow the audience to relise our location, as he walks into the college, myself and another member of the group foloow him, chases him and rob him, throughout ths we used several diferent shot such as close ups, medium close ups, low angle shots and high angel shots, these shots ensured the scene looked intresting and allowed the audience to see the situation fom all poits of view. The scen then carried on as me and the other person run away from the person we robed, to show the chase we decided it would look effective to shhot from outside of the college through the glass windows, this allows the audience to see the chase from an intresting angle. Towards the end of the chase we decided to shoot from 3 different angles firstly, the theifs from the frount being chased by the victim, then from behind showing the hreif behind the theifs chasing them and then a close up of each person allowing the audience to see facial expressions and body language.  The scene ends with the card game, whihc is used to determine who keeps the stolen property. throughout the card game we used various shots such as close ups to show expression, we also used panning.

     Once we had all of our shots, we began ptting it together, it took us time but eventually we managed to match up each shot, cut out irrelevent parts, add sound. In my opinion i feel the "card game"  went quite well for a first go, it alowed me to develop my skills on camera work and i learnt how to put shots together that ensure the scene looks real ad flows well.

Today The class watched a documentry called " Watching" the documentry was based on the beggining of films, i found it extremly intesting and discovered that there are different types of beginings of different films. From watching the documentry i realised i dont really like credits and feel that my thriller should use as litt;e credits as possible as i feel they take the focus off of the begining. The documentry also made me realise how important the first few scenes in a film is, these scenes determine wethere the audience cntinue watching the film, they also allow the audience to learn bout the genre and discover if they will enjoy it or not. 

  For the rest of the lesson we watched pat thrillers made by previous media students, this was very fascinating as it allowed  me to critise othere work and made me realise what i liked and didnt like. Some of the thrillers were better than others and they all vaired. There was one that stood out to me, it was called missing, The thriller was extremly
