Preliminary exercise learner response

 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.

  • Almost works like a trailer for your drama - I like it!
  • Dialogue scene works well with a range of  interesting camera shots and angles. I particularly like the shot through the leaves.
  • Audio is good in places but not consistent - an important lesson for the main production. Lesson here is to use the main audio track from first clip then overlay other visuals.
  • Music, branding and title all work well.
  • I like the self - referential dialogue!


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 script
  • music at the end fits well with crime drama genre
  • variety of camera shots
EBI
  • background noise
  • quality is a bit off
  • the sound as quite at parts


3) How effectively did you complete the objective you laid out in your mini preliminary exercise statement of intent?

In terms of my shot list I did cover as much as I could, in terms of angles. Setting and characters diversity were also met.


4) What have you learned from the preliminary exercise that will help you in the actual coursework project?

I have to work on my sound quality, making sure that the dialogue is evident to hear and not patch. Alongside this I also need to work on the different elements of mise-en-sene by really enhancing those crim drama conventions.


5) Now you have completed the preliminary exercise, will you change anything about your actual coursework video plan? This could include your concept, cast/actors and narrative or technical elements such as mise-en-scene, camerawork or editing.

Mise-en-scene and camerawork need to really justify this, because of some circumstances I was unable to produce what I had originally planned, I hope to learn from these mistakes and produce a much better quality product.

  Media Magazine Theory Drop - Postmodernism 1) How does the article define postmodernism in the first page of the article? If modernism is beginning to question authority, then postmodernism is making fun of authority to its face. Postmodernism takes this concept of questioning traditional structures, representations  and expectations and pushes things a step further. 2) What did media theorist and Semiotician Roland Barthes suggest in his essay 'The Death of the Author'? In 1967 the French literary critic Roland Barthes released his essay The Death of the Author. In it, he challenged tradition when he said that a writer’s opinions, intentions or interpretation of their own work are no more valid than anyone else’s. To give a simple example, this means that just because Ridley Scott thinks Deckard is a replicant, doesn’t mean that you, the viewer, have to think  this if you don’t want to. Readers are  free to interpret a work however they choose, irrespective of what the cre

Summer project tasks 1) Research: TV crime drama extract analysis  How To Get Away With Murder: Narrative and genre In terms of the tv crime drama genre it is mainly viewed by the older generation however because the show involves a narrative of law students it gained a lot of attraction from college/law  students across the world, which skyrocketed the viewer age.  show starts off with an introduction to a criminal law course, throughout the seasons the audience is able to identify the irony between the law class and what they have to go through in order to actually get away with murder. The narrative is then communicated to the audience through varies flashbacks at the start of each season and working its way through to the very last episode of the said season to showcase the whole event in one piece rather than in fragments. By doing so audience are left into a cliffhanger each episode causing them to binge watch the show as the crime drama genre has always been some what a game the

The Specials - Ghost Town: Blog tasks

  Background and historical contexts 1)  Why does the writer link the song to cinematic soundtracks and music hall tradition? Formed in 1977 and arguably the most influential band of the UK’s  2 Tone Ska  scene, “Ghost Town”, a skewed ska oddity, was written by Jerry Dammers, The Specials’ keyboardist and released in June 1981. It was their last song before splitting up and reforming as The Special AKA and stayed at the top of the UK charts for three weeks. It’s an odd, eerie song, nodding to pop convention and sitting wilfully outside of it. It’s included, in passing, in Dorian Lynskey’s beautifully written book on protest songs,  “33 Revolutions Per Minute” , but unlike the band’s “Free Nelson Mandela” does not merit its own chapter. Perhaps because “Ghost Town” cannot be “placed”. It’s not explicitly against any one event. It does not exhort its listeners into any one particular political view. It is not part of any one social movement for change. It is, rather, a stealth protest s
