Puhinui movie exercises

When you start to make a movie, you need to learn how to put clips together in order to show action. And you have to learn what to film, what clips to take, in the first place.

These short clips show how you would show a very simple action. Look carefully, and you will see how even though the actor is doing one thing, there are at least four or five different shots that make up each action.

There is also an evaluation, with Media Studies students discussing what they learned by making movies.
