My name is Ruba Khan and this is my media blog in which I will be doing all my coursework on, homework and any tasks we may need to do. I am currently doing media studies as an AS level and hope to carry it on for A2. I enjoy this subject thoroughly and I would love to do something along the lines of this in the future. I enjoy filming and editing the most. I like to be creative and would like to think I am a creative person. I have a thirst to make things unique and exemplify them in my own way. However, the theory part of media is very interesting to see how things are created in the media industry (films, music videos, adverts, etc.). Also it is fascinating to see all the cast & crew, cameras and time that goes into making something tricky look so easy as we watch it.

Crane Shot




A crane shot is a shot taken using a camera on a crane. A crane is large, heavy piece of equipment which allows the camera to move up, down, left, right, diving in on action or moving diagonally away from it. The common ways of using crane shots are to view the actors from above, to move up and away from them or a subject - a popular way to end a movie. Most cranes work automatically for the camera and the operator but some can be manual which operate by remote control. These are usually seen in enthralling and emotional scenes.
