For our AS Media Studies myself and a number of other pupils visited New York from 3rd February - 7th February. The main reason for the trip was the 4 hour Film Masterclass at the New York Film Academy. The 4 hour film masterclass included 3 stages; Film-making, Acting and Editing! And a great advantage to OUCH Productions was that all 4 members went to New York therefore participating in the Film Masterclass and ensuring that we did not have to inform a group member of what went on when we returned back to school; this made it so much easier for us. :)
The Editing was just a re-cap in more detail of what we had already learnt back at our school, but was very helpful. The extra little imformation passed on to us enabled us to add captions etc. to our videos without much of a struggle. This all became very useful when editing our preliminary video and planning our opening sequence.
The Film-Making whereas was the most helpful part due to the standard of equipment we used and the amount of it. Although the equipment standard was better than of that available to us back at school, we found it very helpful as we became use to using their equipment therefore making our equipment easier to use. Our standard of equipment might not be as good, but the techniques used in the film masterclass can easily be used in the making of our opening sequence using the equipment we have.
The Acting part of the masterclass was not as useful to us as the Editing and Film-making but the information passed on to us will be taken in and become useful when it comes to the acting part of both our preliminary and final task pieces. Due to all 2 of our group wanting to and willing to appear in our final piece, the opening sequence of a film, we deemed it necessary to listen carefully to everything being passed across about acting and remember it until we begin acting.
