Preliminary exercise learner response

-

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

-Really effective prelim exercise that meets the brief

-Elements of narrative and performance-both effective

-Overhead shot of performance good but perhaps goes on too long. Perhaps also a lesson in multiple takes? would shooting more performance create a slightly more natural performance?

-Lighting and mise-en-scene a definite strength.

-I will check if explicit language will be a problem for main production.

-Theme of the room matches the song

-Good use of panning towards pic on wall.


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:
-Good use of lighting 
-Good use of mise-en-scene
-Range of different clips

EBI:
-Maybe use more camera shot variations 
-Smoother editing 
-Different locations

3) How effectively did you complete the objective you laid out in your mini preliminary exercise statement of intent?
 In my planning I had always visioned a cosy bedroom music video that was really girly and had pink lighting and I think I achieved this in my music video. I wanted a simplistic video to represent how feminine my artist is

4) What have you learned from the preliminary exercise that will help you in the actual coursework project?
This helped open my eyes to acknowledge you need to film shots MULTIPLE times in various angles because that's how you get the best footage. It also showed me its not as simple as it seems.

5) Now you have completed the preliminary exercise, will you change anything in your actual music promo video plan? This could include your selection of songs, actors and style or technical elements such as mise-en-scene, camerawork or editing.
I next would love to incorporate more creative and fun locations and scenes after I've done a simple one. I would also live to invest in looking for a ring light for better lighting. I may also change the songs I've selected

Sound analysis: blog 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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClfDIu7C8SM 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 Within  this short clip of Stranger Things, there is diegetic sound of the female character breathing, this is significant as it is the only diegetic sound and focuses the attention of the viewers on to her breathing suggesting that she is could be frightened by the situation she is in. Also, the non diegetic sound of the tearing and the beating sound sort of like a heart beat of a living being again focuses the viewers attention on the sound because it was very loud and repetitive. These sounds are parallel to the clip because it suits the narrative but also contributes to the

Statement of Intent feedback and learner response

-
 Comments for AQA:   This is the beginning of a good statement of intent with clear potential to reach the higher levels if it were complete with added clarity/detail. There is a strong concept here which is clearly well thought out. The statement offers a concept that largely meets the brief but currently doesn’t address the print aspect.  Industry element is a real strength with discussion of a small independent record company. However, lacking reference to digital convergence for the higher levels. Media language elements addressed in places with reference to shots and elements of mise-en-scene but lacking the detail or explanation required for the top levels. Print brief element lacking – statement unfinished. Similarly, very little on how representations will be created. This is a key area holding this back from the higher levels. Audience element stronger early on but later seems unfinished.   Feedback:

Film poster analysis

  .BLADE RUNNER ANALYSIS    I think that this film is a sci-fi film due to the use of the colour scheme and the props. The use of the colours like white and green and a little bit of blue suggests that the film is going to be about a powerful man who is trying to save the world  from something evil(maybe aliens). The use of the close up shot of what looks like the main character can imply how he's going to be the main protagonist of the film and the person we see the film through (his perspective) That shot can also communicate his facial expressions to the audience as he looks a little distressed(due to him sweating) but ready to taken on whatever is on his way. He looks powerful. This perfectly enhances the stereotype of men being strong and powerful. He looks like hes doing a great job at what he's doing ,due to him sweating it illustrates to us an audience  that he's putting his blood, sweat and tears in.This movie seems to be set in 1980's. I can clearly see this i
