Recording your editing work - another suggestion

Some of you have had long discussuions over the pros and cons of two versions of the same sequence. Very good practice would be to upload both versions onto your blog and discuss why you chose one version over the other. Admitedly, a bit of work, but this would benefit your grade.

Recording your editing experience

You also need to record your experience of editing. What programme you are using, without getting too biogged down in detail, you could discuss some of the more interesting techniques that you have learnt, or talk through a continuity sequence and how you achieved this.

Again, images, uploaded footage (perhaps of an editied sequence that you rejected), and ensure again that it is honest and evaluative.

Recording your filming experience

You should ensure that you have posted an account of your filming experience. Rather than a descriptive account, this should be reflective, evaluative and honest. What was it like? What went well, not so well. Comment on Mise en scene and camerawork in particular.

Consider format again - some screen grabs of rejected material, filming in progress etc.

Logging your rushes on to the MAC

Please make this a priority - I need to see what filming you have done and make comments on it. You should now be starting your editing, however, if your filming is not up to standard, I need to tell you so, inorder that you do not waste your time doing this.

Feedback on Credits and Titles

Some of you have completed this work - some of you have done nothing at all. Those of you that have done very little are jeopardising part of your planning and research grade.

In addition, please consider your format - far too many of you are presenting huge walls of very user unfriendly text that is not easy to mark. Cherry pick, use screengrabs, subheadings, bullet points.

Enter a heading on your blog

Please enter a title on your blog, under which we can enter comments about your filming when we review this on Monday.

Please write a title for a post called "Teacher comments on our film rushes"

Thanks

Additional Homework on Titles and Credits

Using the website "Art of the title sequence" at http://www.artofthetitle.com/, blog another 4 title sequences of your own choice.

Filming

You urgently need to start filming. The next deadline is approaching (12th March). Any animatics not yet completed, need to be ASAP. We need to judge if your proposals are practical, and are not compromising your health and safety.

Film Titles and credits

The Orphanage

1. Are the titles/credits Separate to the moving image, incorporated into/superimposed over the moving image, or is it in the form of a mini narrative?

2. Conduct a textual analysis. You will have formed a strong idea as to what the opening credit sequence is trying to communicate. Cherry Pick "eight" significant aspects relating to its construction. You need to blog "How" the credit sequence has been constructed in order to communicate this. Consider two aspects of Mise en scene, two relating to sound, two relating to camera work and two relating to editing.


Old Boy

1. Repeat the process for "Old Boy"

Deadline for this work is Monday 8th.
