Coursework: Preliminary exercise feedback and LR

 1) Type up your teacher's feedback in full plus a summary of the comments you received from other students in the class.

WWW: 
-Almost minute of video, immediately engaging with some really nice camerawork and editing.

EBI:
-Narrative (at least wider narrative) not entirely clear from this extract so that's something to consider for main production.

-Audio quality in trees - a lot of wind noise but dialogue is audible.

-I think the text on screen works for this but perhaps a little too much information? Also feels a little sci-fi in places with the music and font.

2) Using a combination of your own reflection on the preliminary exercise and the feedback you were given, write three WWW bullet points and three EBI bullet points for your work.

WWW:
-Really liked the concept, well thought out, editing was nice

-Good graphics

-Enigma was good

-Good suspense

EBI:
-The sound and dialogue is covered by the wind at one point

3) How effectively did you complete the objective you laid out in your mini preliminary exercise statement of intent?

I think I completed it so a certain level as it wasn't exactly what I would have wanted it to be.
However I think it did meet the main parts of what I wanted it to be, if I can build off my preliminary then I can work off that to improve that.

4) What have you learned from the preliminary exercise that will help you in the actual coursework project?

Have things such as music that sounds more like a crime drama, more camera angles, work on a wider narrative plot. I have learned to focus a bit more on narrative


5) Now you have completed the preliminary exercise, will you change anything about your actual coursework video plan? This could include your concept, cast/actors and narrative or technical elements such as mise-en-scene, camerawork or editing.

-Possibly add a scenes or dialogue that adds to a clearer/wider narrative.

-More camera work can convey more meanings such as status, feelings and more.

Film & TV Language: poster analysis

Film poster 1: "Blade runner" Narrative: According to the slogan in the top right it seems that humans have created something that has endangered their entire species and now they must take over again. This may be a dystopian sort of movie where in the future humans are no longer the ones in control. Genre: A ction, thriller Target audience: Young adults/adults  Film poster 2: "Scary Movie 2" Narrative: Based on the denotations it seems that the movie is about people who go to see a movie that is supposedly "scary" but the denotations show that this may be all "fun and games" as the title is called scary movie and the irony of this is that the movie looks more like a comedy. Genre: Comedy, "horror" Target audience: Yong adults/adults Film poster 3: "Uzak" Narrative: The poster denotes a man who lives a lonely life in an isolated village, the establishing shot connotes that he is all alone by himself and he now has to live

Film & TV Language: Sound analysis tasks

  1) Find a film clip on YouTube that uses sound in an interesting way. Analyse the use of sound, making sure you use the key language we have learned about sound in film: Diegetic and non-diegetic sound Parallel and contrapuntal sound Sound bridges Remember to discuss/analyse all the different types of sound present in the clip: Music Dialogue Voiceover Sound effects You also need to  highlight  or put in  bold  any use of media language. Diegetic sounds: The dialogue in the scene is used to talk between the characters, in this case, it is to insult or intimidate them, another main use of the dialogue is the sounds that they make whether it is to convey pain or effort in a punch or swing. These are sounds that can be heard by both characters and the audience which makes the sound  diegetic. The sound effects of being hit with metal bars, punches, guns being loaded, etc. are all heard in this clip to convey an action or someone being hurt in this clip, the impact of these sounds em

Film & TV Language: Sound notes and practical task

Image
1) Choose a  60 second piece of music   - it can be a film score or a song, it is up to you. 2) Using editing software (Windows Moviemaker is fine but Adobe Premiere is available on Media PCs or at home if you are able to use it) produce a one-minute montage of images and video. Half the images need to be parallel to the music and half need to be contrapuntal. Think carefully about how you can best select images and video to have a significant impact on the audience. 3 ) Upload the finished video to YouTube and embed it in your own blog with a brief description of what you've created. Note: due to videos occasionally being blocked on copyright grounds, please also save the exported video file (e.g. MP4) into your student folder on the M: Media Shared drive. 4) Present your video to the class next week, explaining the thinking behind your work.
