Welcome to my media blog!

Hello, my name is James Potts and I'm a level 2 media student at sunderland college.

This blog is going to hold all of my media work.

The reason i picked media is because i have many experiences in media, for example, i studied media at GCSE in school and I've always liked the campaign side of media and that's what i want to do as a career in the future.

I love playing sports such as football, rugby, gymnastics, tennis and MMA(missed martial arts). i also like watching gangster, war and neo noire style films. my favorite film is children of men because it explores the importance of hope and they way it was filmed is incredible.

The first step I did when filming it a went onto the iPhone 8 camera and swiped to the left and the video camera. I filmed the video in full hd, 1080p at 30fps. I tapped on the screen to show where the camera wants me to focus on while recording. I pressed the red button on the tough screen to start recording the then press. I adjusted the quality of the fog by going to the phone settings. I transferred the footy via USB charger with will e plugged into the phone and the iMac. I first imported the footage onto the Mac and then dragged the footed into my memory stick. the video format for the iPhone 8 is MPEG-4 and can go up to 2.5 Mbps with 640x480 pixels with 30-60fps with the audio saved on an mp4. This is a photograph of what the settings for the camera resolution looks like.

5. Reviewing strengths and weaknesses of my sound sourcing and sound creation

One strength on scoring my audio was it was easy find and was easy to find what kind of sounds I wanted to find that would be suitable for the film. One thing I could improve on was to make sure that the sound was non-copy righted as I tried editing my video I realized its copyrighted. One strength on creating my own sounds was that it was an easy process. Just a few simple knocks on a door. One I could imrpove on is to make sure I could add morem of my foly sound into my film. I feel like I could of addad more into it. One thing that went well while editing the sound into my film was unliking the sound and diciding where it is going to go and how suitible it was. The areas I could improve on in future projects is to add more Foley sound and add more then just a knock on the door.
