Audience feedback

Use my blog or Marion's to access the films of your AS Peers.

Using the questionnaire feeddback, leave comments / feedback about films on group blogs.

Please ensure that you do this, it is a requirement for one of the questions on the AS Evaluation.

Final deadline this Friday.

Deadline is this FRIDAY!!!!!!!

You need to have all your image and sound editing completed and to have completed your title and credit sequences.

Researching Titling and Credits

This will form part of your opening sequence and will need to be incorporated. If you are to do this, you can't do it cold and therefore need to do some research. Therefore :-


On your blog, you should now post a discussion of 3 title sequences of your own choice - try to use thrillers from either TV Drama or Film. Ensure that you consider how the film title, graphics, music, and placement, all work in the overall construction of the sequence. Do they contribute anything to the meaning about character, mood, atmosphere or any aspect of narrative.

http://www.artofthetitle.com/A very useful site for looking at title and credit ideas.

A useful short YOUTUBE interview with title designers another useful link

Do NOT simply reproduce an analysis of those that we have covered in class.

This is also a good interview to watch on YouTube.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbhi-JICKKI

What to do in the time upto the filming deadline

1. Make sure that you have done the pre production posts - all of them.  Make your posts interesting - some of you are really starting to understand how to make interesting and reflective posts.

2. Experiment - show experiments with camerawork (framing, movement, Slow Motion etc), post production techniques etc etc.

3. During your filming, ensure to capture yourselves filming - explain what you are doing, what you are trying to achieve and reflect upon the experience - what went well, what went less well.

4. Make up any key props that you require - newspapers front pages etc. Secure particular costumes etc.

5. Make sure that you have blogged all your permissions and risk assessments.
6. Research into films/dramas that have used particular props or sequences that you intend to use and see how they have been filmed. Can you pick up useful tips from these?

Feedback to deadline two - Pre Production

For those that I am supervising, you will find comments on your posts for Pre Production Planning - please read these if you have not done so already.

Generally, many of these were very incomplete - use your booklets to see what is missing.  The consequences of not completing all the criteria for deadline two are considerable - you will be docked marks for planning. 

Remeber there is a total of 20 marks for Planning. 

Don't throw these marks away.

Deadline three - Filming.

YOUR FILMING DEADLINE IS SOON!

Deadline Three – Filming

Filming stage: plan this extremely carefully. Read the booklet on this stage again. Take photos of your shoot as illustration of your decisions and evidence of your own presence. These should be uploaded to illustrate your discussion of choices and decisions made to which you each contribute.

By the deadline below: – all “rushes” (unedited, raw footage) to be completed and logged onto the Mac network as a rough cut into the correct file (Locate AS black and group).

All Filming processes, decisions and choices clearly recorded on the group blog. Each of you must contribute to this. Use screen grabs to illustrate shots and the shoot itself.

Again, use blog format fully and creatively.

Friday 8^th March, 4.10

Feddback fo deadline one

Far too many  of you present vusually uninspiring entries - few screengrabs for instance.  Also many of you failed to actually analyse and just listed elements of the 4 aspects of film language.  You need to analysse - why di this create a thriller effect - How were the openings constructed to do this?
