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 video feedback and learner response

1. Mr Halseys Feedback: WWW: This meets the brief perfectly- a great choice of song and clips that are totally parallel and contrapuntal. The opening is strong- the audio could easily be from the original film ( I'm assuming its not) and then the switch to Voldemort gets a laugh from the audience to demonstrate how effective the switch is. EBI: the video was only made up of two film clips rather than a selection/ collage but it so clearly demonstrates an understanding of sound I can't really complain! 2. Sade's Feedback: -WWW: The clips were great and i loved the contrast between the music and the 2nd clip:) -EBI: i dont have any Rish's Feedback: WWW: Very good choice of song, great reaction created with the Harry Potter scene. EBI: Nothing, Everything was great! Ashleens Feedback: WWW: Great Media images and music choice - It shocked me. EBI: none:) lucky you.... Krissies Feedback: WWW: I dont know what i just watched , but i love it. Good contrast betwwen the two cli...

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 an...

Music video theory

-
  1) How does the   This Is America  video meet the key conventions of a music video? Look back at   last week's introduction to music video   if you're not sure. Music Videos can be used to help to tell a story and in this music video the artist Childish Gambino is telling a narrative about how black people are treated in America. 2) What comment is the video making on American culture, racism and gun violence? The music video is highlighting the modern day discrimination of Black people and the lives that are lost to gun violence. Childish Gambino is drawing attention to these crimes. 3) Write an analysis of the video applying the theories we have learned: Gilroy, Hall, Rose and Dyson. Try and write a short paragraph for each theory. Gilroy: Gilroy points to the slave trade as having a huge influence on modern America. 'This is a America' explores how even though we may have evolved from slavery, even in modern America there is still discrimination and police ...
