How do you and your peers use film?

In lesson a questionnaire was taken to see how people in our class use film and their different interactions to do with film. Some of questions from this where how often do you go to the cinema, what films do you watch and why do you watch films either at home or at the cinema.

In the question, how often do you go to the cinema a year I answered with 0-5, this could seem unusual for a person my age as compared to the rest of the class most people said over 10 times a year. But in comparison with that most of the others questions that were asked I agreed with the majority of people. For example, one of the questions was why do you go to the cinema and the most popular answer was because they like going with their friends and socializing which i agreed on. Another question was do you buy food and drink while at the cinema, I said no and so did most of the class. I think this represents our age group a quite well as people of our age don't really want to spend their money on expensive snacks and drinks. One other question referred to what makes you want to watch a film and what types of films do you watch. Alot of people said that film trailers make them want to watch the film which I think is common for young people because I don't think many people really take much notice of film posters because of the internet and again the majority said they like watching big Hollywood blockbusters when they go to the cinema.

While not at the cinema I do watch some films at home, a large proportion of people said they watch films illegally on the web and stream films for free, However I do not really watch films illegally online unless it is something i desperately want to see. I do though use Netflix to watch films and t.v series which seemed very popular with people and everyone said they use some kind of film service in their household. I think this is very common and stereotypical of people this young of an age.

Overall I think many young people all agree on the same things related to film and that I myself also believe i am alike to everyone else. 

Shot Types & Angles

This poster is a basic creation i made in Photoshop, the main aim of this task was to show GCSE media students different shot types and angles, it would help them when doing tasks like this and throughout their coursework. All of the shot types i was told to take are listed on the poster with clear arrows pointing to its correct photo. While creating this poster i learnt how to use plenty of different tools within Adobe Photoshop. One of the tools i learnt to use was Blending options, within this tool you can use all types of different options which add shadows to your text, outer and inner glows which can be added to your pictures and much more. Other things i have learnt are just basic tools like background and foreground fill, re-sizing objects without it changing the proportion and just working my way around layers. This practical allowed me to discover all of the tools used in Photoshop and the understanding of how they are used.
