Beyond the camera

For our first class in beyond the camera, we were given a brief introduction into what we will be doing throughout the year. This class has a lot to do with software equiptment such as dreamweaver, after effects and photoshop.
For our first class, we were introducted to the green screen. The green screen is to show us that if we are planning to add in a background that we do not have, we can use this to create that illusion. For this, the teachers split the class into two groups so that they would be able to show us more with a smaller group.

Once we had been shown the green screen, we were then asked to create a photo using Photoshop with a background that is not real. We had the option of using the Green Screen to do this however I did not. I chose to make my image a funny image, although I had a few different ideas that I think would have worked better than the option that I had chose.

First Week in our Television Studio

When we first went into the television studio, we were giving a class in what happens in the television studio, the rules we have to know and the layout of the studio we are going to be working in. 
Our class were all able to have a chance to work on the HD camera's, were shown the editing room and taught about different parts within the television studio.

Afterwards, the teachers then put us all into individual groups of 5 or 6. I was put into a group of 5. Once we had all been put into groups, we had to decide on what roles we each wanted to take for our production throughout the year. I had chose to be floor manager as I thought this seemed like a good role that I would enjoy doing.
