Level 2- lesson for Wednesday

Today he have watched a short film called 'Wasp' by a woman called Andrea Arnold, the film is about an extremely poor family and the struggles of being hungry and having a mum that is trying to find a dad who has money to pay for the kids and she is fighting so her 4 kids wont be taken away from her and put into social services. At the start of the film is shows the hole family going to someones house and then the mum starts to attack someone because she hit her daughter. Once they stopped fighting the family started to walk away and then a car beeps at them and then the mum noticed that it is someone that she used to know. Then she told her children to sit down on the pavement while she goes to talk to him, while there talking he asks to meet her later that night down the pub and then he asks if the kids are hers but she told him that she is looking after them for a friend. Later that night she took the kids to the pub and then left them outside for the night while she was with the man, he asked her to buy some drinks but when she when she went to pay she didn't have enough so she had to get something else and she got a coke and a pack of crisps for the children to share so they wouldn't moan about being hungry and then later they were hungry again and the youngest one which was still a baby was crying because he was so hungry. But after a while these lads walked last with a bag of ribs in there hands and one of them made the other one drop them so the oldest one went to get them so they weren't as hungry anymore but then when there mum saw them she told her daughter off because she red the baby ribs so a wasp got attracted to the smell and then landed onto the baby's face and then flew inside the baby's mouth, but then it flew back out without stinging the baby. At this point the man worked out that the children were hers so he put them into the car and took them all to the chip shop and then that was the end of the film.

Research on Panasonic HDC 900 camera:

Research:

This is a Full HD 1920 x 1080/50p camcorder, which benefits from three 2.53MP sensors, uses the AVCHD recording format and has enough manual features and creative functions to keep even the most demanding movie maker happy. 

What i know about this camera:

So far i know hot to turn the camera on by using a button at the side and i also know how to set the put it so it has thirds on the picture onto the camera. I also know how to zoom in and out by using the buttons at the top of the camera and also know hoe to talk pictures and how to start the video and how to sort out the white balance.

White balance:

White balance is basically changing the colours on the image and I know that if your whites are white and your blacks are black then you know that the rest of the colours would be right.

The White Balance setting you choose will change the colour balance in your pictures, making it warmer or cooler depending on how the sort of light you’re shooting in affects things. 

Rule of thirds:

The Rule of Thirds is perhaps the most well known principle of photographic composition. The “Rule of Thirds” one of the first things that budding digital photographers learn about in classes on photography and rightly so as it is the basis for well balanced and interesting shots.
