Australian Film Television and Radio School

On Wednesday the 18th of May our Year 11 Entertainment class went on an excursion to 'The Australian Film Television and Radio School' which is also known as 'AFTRS'. It is located at Moore Park, Fox Studios, and is the only school in Australia that provides students with a variety of equipment. My class participated in the 'Camera Skills Workshop' taught by Gareth from 10am-1pm and then we were lucky enough to have a half an hour tour of the School. The Lady that took us on the tour showed us different sections of the school that were interesting. During the Workshop we learnt many new skills which included the 'Rule of Thirds', the short hand terms for camera angles and different techniques on how to make a story through pictures. We also did two activities in small groups to develop our knowledge of camera angles and shooting small scene. Overall it was a great day and i learnt a lot about the school and how to use a camera.
