First Lesson: 13/02/17 On the first lesson, I continue brainstorming the plot of the whole tv show so I can then turin into a teaser trailer.  After writing down the summary outline of the show, I managed to have a protaganist and an antoganist. I have the killer's motives and the backstory for the viallain. This gave me an idea for the teaser trailer. I aksed Mr Andrews the updated version and he said it was good. Second Lesson: 14/02/17 I finally had the full concept for the trailer and talked to Mr Andrews about it. He was fine with the idea therefore I could start planning.

On the first lesson of this week, we run through cinematography, more specifically framing. We look at types of shots and angle, rule of third and the golden triangle and how they make a shot. We then did an exercise where we have to take four pictures where a character is powerful, weak then equal. After we have finished, we had to show our image in next lesson for the class to analyse the images. On the following lesson, we showed our four images to the class and they analyse each image to see if the shots portray the equal and different powers of each images. The feedback we have been received were: For the equal images: The people in the picture are closely equal The background lighting is different from each image Have the camera in the same position so the background is the same position  For the power differences images: Powerless: The rule of Golden Triangle was used Lighting could be better such as underexpose the picture Lines used effectively well as ...
