For the next three days, you will learn about filmmaking, create your own filmed exercises and discuss your work with your friends.

You can use this Padlet to share, view and comment on each other's films.

Feel free to comment on the films and clips already posted here. These are resources to help you learn from other filmmakers and be inspired by their techniques. You can watch these at any time between sessions.

The column below has useful tips on how to film on your phone, edit footage and upload onto Padlet.]]> 2021-12-03 21:38:05 UTC https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1928184112 vickyhayford1 https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1928189854 Watch this to get an idea of the different jobs or roles on a film set or TV production.]]> 2021-12-03 21:44:43 UTC https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1928189854 vickyhayford1 https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1928932860

Keep your device horizontal.

Hold it steady and place it in a fixed position if possible.

Open the Camera App.

Select Video.

Press on the image that you want to focus on until you see a yellow box that says AE/AF LOCK. This will stabilise your image and stop it from constantly trying to autofocus.

If you want to change the brightness of the image, keep your finger on the screen and swipe up or down to adjust

Don't use the zoom function as it will reduce the quality of your image. Just move closer to the subject if you need to.

Once you're finished, save the clip on your camera roll by using the upload button (square with arrow pointing up) and select 'Add to Album'.

Create a 'New Album' where you can save all your clips that you make during this course. Make sure to label them correctly.

Experiment with the settings before you start filming.

Choose a place, a subject, a moment and film it for one minute 'Lumiere brothers' style.

The camera must be from a fixed position.

Film for 60 seconds only. Keep a watch in hand, then stop the shot as if the reel had finished, just like a Lumiere operator. This way each shot is a result of both choice - and luck.

Take a couple of separate minutes without influencing anything in the shot and choose the best.

Give your minute a title.

The idea is to capture a moment in time. Films should reflect reality and not be acted.

Make sure to keep the camera HORIZONTAL (landscape).

A POV shot shows what a character is looking at.

Why do you think a filmmaker uses this technique and what is the effect on the audience? 

(Hint: this technique is often used in scary movies to create the sense of being watched.)]]> 2021-12-06 11:07:11 UTC https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1930848577 vickyhayford1 https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1930868504

Film a single shot of a 'Frame within a Frame'. Duration: 30 secs approx.

Keep the camera still (don't move) and put it where you have the best view of the 'Frame within a Frame'.

Have your actor/actress interact with your second frame.

Film a few shots and choose the one you think is the most interesting.

Film HORIZONTALLY. The camera must remain STILL.

This technique is used to draw a viewer's attention towards a person or an action.

Please prepare by watching the clips below (scroll down this column).]]> 2021-12-06 12:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1930922396 vickyhayford1 https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1930941534 In a film, Sound is everything that can be heard in a scene: dialogue (people talking), music and special effects.

Foley
Foley is a unique sound effect technique that involves creating and "performing" everyday sounds for movies.]]> 2021-12-06 12:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1930941534 vickyhayford1 https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1930949425 Most Foley sounds are easy to recreate and try at home. For this class exercise we would like you to experiment with items that you have available to you today and record them on the recording app on your phone or tablet. Upload them onto Padlet with your name and mention the sound that you tried to create.]]> 2021-12-06 12:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1930949425 vickyhayford1 https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1931004504 Tell a story using just SOUND with the sound recording app on your phone or tablet.

Pick a subject from your daily life like 'getting up in the morning', 'going to the shops', 'making breakfast', 'walking to school' or some other everyday activity.

You can record sounds like a ticking clock or an alarm buzzing, brushing your teeth, footsteps, doors opening and closing, keys jangling, toast popping out of a toaster, kettle boiling, the bus to school etc.

If you want to record an imaginary story, you can also create the sounds using Foley, like the sound of fire using crisp bags, or horse hooves using coconuts. Feel free to experiment.

• You must hold each recording for at least 7 seconds.
• Try to record 5 different sounds.
• The final piece must add up to a story of about 35 seconds (more or less).
• Don't include any music or dialogue.
• No images.

]]> 2021-12-06 12:55:03 UTC https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1931004504 vickyhayford1 https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1931074127

Pick a small section from a piece of prose. This can be a song lyric, poem or even a sentence from a book you're reading.

Interpret it using up to 7 shots, using a different variety of shot sizes: Wide Shot, Medium Shot, Medium Close-Up, Extreme Close-Up.

Sound and music is allowed but must be recorded in the camera.

Shoot in landscape (horizontally).

Acting is allowed but there can be NO dialogue.

Be inspired by the exercises we've done already: Lumiere Minute, Point of View and Frame within a Frame.

Create a shot list to plan your film.

You may include a final slide to reveal your inspiration for the piece.

The final piece must be around 30 seconds.

An interpretation is how you explain the meaning of something.

We all experience the world through our eyes and ears. Some images and sounds are open to interpretation based on our perception. How we interpret them is what makes us unique.

As we've watched each other's work, it is interesting to see how differently you have all interpreted the films.

Now let's try and interpret another person's work using images, sound and music.]]> 2021-12-06 13:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1931114410 vickyhayford1 https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1931137736 This is how a filmmaker interpreted a poem called From Afar.]]> 2021-12-06 13:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1931137736 vickyhayford1 https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1931156129 Inspiration for interpreting a piece of prose.]]> 2021-12-06 14:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1931156129 vickyhayford1 https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/1933628236 I'm an award-winning filmmaker based in Luton who has had work shown at festivals like Cannes International Film Festival and Berlin International Film Festival.

Also, I am Founder and Director of Moving Image Luton, which was selected as a Creative Pioneer by Culture Trust Luton because of our idea of creating a filmmaking hub in Luton. So it's really great to be collaborating with Revoluton Arts to deliver a film course in Luton!

I became a filmmaker because I love stories, which is really what films are: stories told using images and sound.

You can't use dialogue.

So this week we explore: shots and shot sizes.

What is a shot? A shot is a continuous camera angle filmed without interruption. How we call a particular shot size depends on how a character or object is framed. Here's a brief explanation:

The WIDE SHOT (WS)
The Wide Shot shows the location. It tells you who is in the scene, where and what time of day it takes place.

The FULL SHOT (FS)
The Full Shot frames the character from head to toe in the frame. It focuses on the subject's body language and costume.

The MEDIUM SHOT (MS)
The Medium Shot portrays characters similarly to how we interact with people every day. It is ideal for dialogue scenes.

The MEDIUM CLOSE-UP (MCU)
The Medium Close-Up is an intimate portrait of a character. It focuses on facial expressions.

The CLOSE-UP (CU)
The Close-Up is a tight frame of a face or object. Close-ups are used to show emotions and important moments of your stories.

The EXTREME CLOSE-UP (ECU)
The Extreme Close-Up focuses closely on a detail. It is a very dramatic image on screen and gives the detail a lot of importance.]]> 2022-04-03 20:18:31 UTC https://padlet.com/vickyhayford1/dy44yzmf9qerwhgl/wish/2127482836
