  What do you think has gone particularly well so far this year? What are your strengths? - Enjoying the classes so far, especially editing the short film.

  Colour: Blue and grey colours are carried throughout the first half of the video which reflects the setting of Coney Island coast which was where it was filmed. Warmer tones show nearer the middle as the sun is setting, which makes the video appear that it was filmed in one single day.

Focus: Within my narrative, there is an even mix of in focus and out of focus shots. The in-focus shots centre the attention on the expressions made, and the other objects within the scene. The out of focus shots create a sense of mystery, as they tend to be the more abstract pictures, such as the p...
