 Today in class we learned about film genre's and what they represent , so we learned that film  genres are categories that define a film or a movie  based on its narrative elements. Each genre  is unique in the types of stories they tell. 

 During my media class today I learned today that a film opening is refers to the opening sequence of a film/movie which is the starting first two minutes in which the narrative is unfolded and the mood is set for the rest of the movie. It is really important to make that part interesting and suspenseful to grab the audiences attention and to motive them to watch the rest of the film.   

 This was our first practical in class in which i learned the importance of different camera shots and we used OTS shot in this practical to show dominance of a character.

 Today I took a few pictures of my puppy Bruno keeping in mind the rule of thirds. I took the pictures from my phone with the help of a camera grid. The pictures were good but there is alot of room for improvement as this was my first time taking a picture with the help of a camera grid and i am looking forward to taking more pictures and improving throughout the way . the following picture is the best of the day :   

      This is a post completely dedicated to me and my team members. It was a team of 3 people in total.  I'm doing my foundation portfolio with Fatima Humayun and Aliyan Karim. We're doing the opening film sequence as a group and hope to produce a really good  film opening. Below is me and my team members Fatima and Aliyan . We'll keep you all updated with our latest work and projects, stay tuned!  

 Today in class we learned about the rule of thirds and its importance in photography . The basic principle behind the rule of thirds is to imagine breaking an image down into thirds (both horizontally and vertically) so that you have 9 parts in which you place the subject while taking a picture.
