Shot types

when filming I set out to try and challenge my photography and filming skills, i did this by this by trying to include as many different shot types as possible.This was to see if i was able to capture these shots and it would also give me a better understanding of how they are used. this would also give much a much greater range of shot types enabling me to select the best to use in my production. 

This is an over the shoulder shot. This is when a shot is taken from behind the shoulder and is used to show you the perspective of the character. It is also frequently used in shot reverse shot as it helps to establish who is talking and who they are talking to.

This is an establishing shot. used to show the location were the following scene is going to take place.

This is a POV shot. POV stands for point of view and is used to show exactly what the character see. once a POV shot is shown it will often show the character after to show it was the perspective.

This is an extreme close up, this has been used to show an object of high importance and is supposed to make the viewer focus on it.

risk assessment

Risk Assessment 

there were not many risks to consider during the construction of my media opening sequence. although the few risk the were present i had to take into consideration and try to prevent and reduce them.

risk	Description	prevention
Weather	Equipment becoming damaged through rain or other weather.	There a number of ways of reducing this risk first being to plan around the weather and select specific days to go out and film. Also if I was had to film on a day was there was going to be poor weather I would cover the camera so that it does not get damaged.
BB gun	A prop that was needed For the production of my film was a BB gun. These are very dangerous and can be very painful when fired.	On the BB gun there is a safety switch witch when put on will block the gun from firing this means that you will be unable to accidentally fire causing an injury or damaging any of the equipment.
Roads	The filming was based outside and require a lot of travelling by foot and so it was important that we were cautious near main roads.	While this may be a very obvious risk it still needs to be considered, firstly make sure that you cross at lights and zebra crossing when they are available. And we also made sure that we were careful when near roads .
