In Today's session,the group  of Me,Thea and Amiee went to  film it outside of the school.we decided to  film in Thea's house because it was closer to school.
First thing what  did we have to  do  before filming, we had to  write a risk assessment about what kind of dangerous things could happen.on the way  to  Thea's house and there.After we finnished it we took  all  the equipments (camera,charge ...)  and went to  Thea's house to  film it ...
When we came to  Thea's we took all  of the equipments out and we started to film. Our topic was about relationships ...
My role today was  an actress  i had to  be a girl  who is suffering from her boyfriend because hes cheating on  her,hurts her,doesnt  respect me.I worked out if you  like taking a shot like of your hands,legs...then you  can show your emotions much better.I realised as much shots as you  do  like for example: one girl is talking and during this time shes talking if you take lots of shots of  her from different sides, hands,close up to face it's going to  look more interesting..For me as an actress most of the hardest thing it was to  show an emotions for the situation .. so i just had to  work  on it a litte bit ..
It was well enjoyable to work as a group.. the funniest thing it was like when it starting you filming you just want to  laugh..,  thats what i hated the most..It was really  usefull  in our filming to  use white balance,because for an example we had to  film  a screen of computer and it was blue,so we just used a white balance,and it  alright after..
I think that as a group  we really  improved our  skills ..
For next time we have to  film another half of video..

Good post, Gerda. It is still a little brief. For example, there were other ideas that were rejected: could you have reflected on that process? Try to be as specific as possible, and avoid phrases like "this website" Also, what did you learn about aspects of the brief - accessibility, appropriateness, etc?

In  today's session we done lots of work. First   Derek Budd came to  see us from youthoria. he was telling about that website called youthoria what is in it what type of videos are there and lots of more information.
After all of the groups had to  tell them   story of a film which they are going to do.He helped us to improve our story  board,what should we do   to improve,what things we shoudnt we do.
After all of this we  had to write  a script  what dialogue is it going to be,what is the story  that we are going to  film what emotion  we are going to  show in this video... We were doing lots of planning.l like what props do and we as a group  desiced that the girl  is going to  use like really  dark,dull colours,because shes really  dissapointed about her boyfriend,and her friend is going to wear normal clothes, girl's boyfriend and the girl that hes going to  cheat on her them are going to  wear warm clothes after this we had to  write what props do  we going to  need: we need 2-mugs,facebook,and phone.
 where are we going to  film. we desiced to  film in thea's house,because it is more closed. and after we had to fill the sheet in .. about all of the locations that we are going to  film in. after all  of this we are  going to   to  write risk assessment.
i think it was well useful,to write all of this information .

This session we were working in groups of 3. It was me Thea and Amiee, the topic of the day it was Teenagers. First thing what we did, it was we had to  choose 4 topics and after of those 4topics we had decide which topic do we want to do the most. the first thing that we did it was we wrote lots of them ... and after we chose 4 the best ones: it was STEALING,PREGNANT,DRUGS,RELATIONSHIPS. it was well hard to  chose which of them do we want to do the most. but we decided it was RELATIONSHIPS we thought we are going to do this about it,its going to be well interesting.
First thing what we did it was we planned everything,how are we going to do it.where.what props do we going to  need it  etc... and after all of this we were doing some researching about RELATIONSHIPS.abuse,cheating,breaking up.
Our story  was: one was is talking to her friend and she tells everything about her boyfriend that hes cheating on her he doesn't  respect her, and all the time beats her up ..
we decided that after she tells  to  her friend that her boyfriend is cheating on her,and  then she remembers when it was ... like he was hugging another girl.
it was enjoyable to create like your own story  and you  can come up with any ideas that you really want, you just had to  use you imagination.It was useful topic because that could happen to anyone and i think it makes you think all little bit.
here is an example:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_GalHbevfs 
for nest week now we just need to  write a script about it... then we have to plan where do we going to do it etc ... 
I have learned today about lots methods that you can use in your clip,what type of acting can you  do for make audience think  about it ... and lots of more things.

In today's session. we were working in groups of 5. the task was : like CHASING .
The story can be related with anything.. money,drugs,relationships,arguing etc .. The first shot that we did it was that one of the person was holding a money..  and  another some random person took it and started to  run. and then the one that lost a money started chasing him. the first shot that it was,camera was moving we did this shot because when you doing  it looks like kind of scary,because you don't know when the camera is going to  stop,and what is going to happen next,and specially  when camera is moving slowly. another shot was outside seeing them running, we decided to do this shot because you can see how far  them is going to run,and makes it you feel a bit stress if he's going to catch him of not,another camera's position was on the floor that you can see just only your legs. we did this shot because you can see how quick are they running,and it makes  a video more interesting not that boring. and then another shot was  that the stealer hide behind a bush,first shot was only a bush and then he came really  quick and hide it behind a bush,and another person just ran pass.(in that moment an audience it makes feel if he's still going to catch him)?and then the person that lost him was standing and looking around,and then just a thief just ran behind him,then he saw him and started chasing him again... in that moment that they were running thief just fell of the stairs.And the person that lost a money just took. it was the end of it. It was all that we did.
In this session i learned lots of things,that you can do lots of shapes on camera not only just like straight,but you can put a camera in any shape that you want,then another thing that i learned it was how to upload a video on the blog, and more stuff now to edit video,where can we download music and etc...
i really  enjoyed this lesson
