Cinematography in Your Reflective Journal

COMPLETE YOUR REFLECTIVE JOURNAL
  • Create a new sub-page in your reflective journal under the cinematography page.
    • Name the sub-page ‘Basic Cinematography’.
  • Create three headings on the page
    1. Inquiry
    2. Action
    3. Reflection

This is what needs to go in each section

Inquiry

Embed all the videos that we have used to explore the meanings encoded by cinematography techniques.

Introduce each video in one sentence.

Use Harvard to reference the videos

Next to these videos drop in your slide show with the cinematography techniques labelled.

Action

Copy the creative intention into the top of this section:

“To explore how basic framing and movement can communicate meaning in film.”

Copy in the following evidence of what you did.:

  • Pre Production
    • The two shot lists you worked from.
  • Production
    • Images of you using the camera.
  • Post Production
    • A screenshot of your WeVideo project.

Introduce each of the above and give a brief account of the process and difficulties encountered. No more than 50 words per phase of production.

Reflection

Insert your downloaded Video at the top of this page.

Give a brief summary of your reflections on the process and outcome:

  • What went well
  • How it might have been improved
  • What you will do next time.
    • This might include some reflection on how composition might help you tell a story, which is discussed in this video.
Telling stories through images (a masterclass)

Remember the reflective journal is yours – not just a dictate from your teacher. If you have found these (or other videos) on cinematography inspiring then embed them into your journal and reflect on what they have taught you, and how you want to explore cinematography later in the course!
