Preliminary Task Evaluation

By -
When comparing my story board against what I have filmed, it would be accurate to say that I stuck very close to my plan. In the beginning I kept my plan realistic so that I could be sure it was something I could achieve, yet detailed enough to have a solid idea in my head before I started to film. The reason why I chose to have the girl sitting on the desk, rather than a chair, was to reinforce her careless attitude, as well as to add to the informality between the two characters – displaying the fact that they are good friends. The other character however is sitting down, focusing on his work, explaining all the revision he has done. Although the conversation is not detailed, it fits the environment and relationship between them well. I ensured to include the basic requirements (shot, reverse shot, match on action editing and keeping to the 180-degree rule), as well as use techniques such as panning, the rule of thirds, point of view shots and a range of different camera ...

Introduction

By -
I’m currently in year 12 studying media a-level at The FitzWimarc Sixth Form. I will be using this blog to communicate my thought process throughout the making of my coursework. My overall task is to create the opening two minutes of a film, paying attention to the typical conventions of film openings and effectively convening the genre of the film within the time frame. I must firstly consider macro conventions such as genre conventions, narrative, character, themes, and atmosphere. I will then look at the micro conventions that include lighting, font, framing, costume, props, setting and actors, ensuring I maintain consistency throughout.

I have not yet decided on a particular genre, and I hope through carrying out different types of research...

Questionnaire

By -
To further reinforce what I have learned from carrying out a focus group, I chose to back it up by asking a questionnaire. To get the most feedback, I created it online using 'Survey Monkey' - the link is as follows:  https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/2JH28LW I wrote out 8 different questions, all to gain further information about what my audience want. 1. What is your age? The reason for including this question was to establish the age demographic of my target audience. The most popular age group would show who is most interested in crime films. 2. What is your gender? Particular features of crime films may appeal to different genders, this was therefore fairly important to ask, as if I my film included extreme violence and action, it may steriotypically appeal more to the male audience. 3. Which sub genre of crime films do you most prefer? Choosing a specific sub genre will help to refine what people want to see, and how I can adjust that when establishing genre myse...
