'Film Industry assessment learner response'

Create a new blog post called 'Film Industry assessment learner response' and complete the following tasks:



If you didn't achieve full marks in a question, write a bullet point on what you may have missed.

Question 1:
● Regulated by the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification)
Question 2:
● Social media: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc.
Question 3:
● Blinded By The Light then received a huge, global marketing campaign to try and turn the film into the next Bend It Like Beckham global hit. This could easily have cost more than the $15m production budget.
● New technology is opening new ways to distribute films and Blinded By The Light now has an extended slot on Amazon Prime which will bring in some of the money it has lost. However, it remains the perfect example of why the cultural industries are a “risky business” as Hesmondhalgh says.

3) For Question 2 on the promotion of Blinded By The Light, use the mark scheme to identify at least one strategy used to promote the film that you didn't mention in your answer and why it was used. The key lesson from this question was to make specific reference to the CSP in your answer and ensure each explanation was different.

● Social media: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc.
This would have intrigued the audience as they get a glance of the cast and a taste of wht the movie would be like, this will also increase the amount of people to watch the movie as social media is a great way to spread awarness and news, advertisemnt. 

4) Now look at Question 3 - focusing on Hesmondhalgh's point that making media products is a 'risky business'. Write three bullet points from the mark scheme that you could have added to your answer. Try and include a specific reference to the CSP where you can and ensure you understand the key contexts to Hesmondhalgh's quote. Additional reference to Hesmondhalgh's ideas would help here too - you may want to look back at our work on Hesmondhalgh and the Cultural Industries.

I could have talked more about the budget of the film and who supported it ,and how it affected them,
Blinded By The Light cost $15m to make – money raised between Bend It Films (huge success with Bend It Like Beckham), Levantine Films (huge success with Hidden Figures) and Ingenious Media investment company.
● Blinded By The Light generated great excitement at the Sundance Film Festival which resulted in an all-night auction that saw New Line Cinema pay $15m to distribute the film.
● Blinded By The Light then received a huge, global marketing campaign to try and turn the film into the next Bend It Like Beckham global hit. This could easily have cost more than the $15m production budget.

Editing blog task

HEAT:DIRECTED BY MICHAEL MANN "Heat" (1955) is a classic crime movie directed by Michael Mann. It's known for its exciting story and intense action scenes. One memorable part is the bank robbery shootout, which impresses viewers with its great camera work, sound effects, and how it affects the overall story. The visuals in the shootout are stunning, using different techniques to immerse viewers in the chaos. The lighting, with its contrast between shadows and gunfire flashes, adds tension. Quick edits and changing camera angles make the scene feel fast-paced and chaotic. Sound effects, like gunshots and screams, make the scene intense and realistic.

Mise-en-scene recreation: Learner response

Mise-en-scene recreation: Learner response Create a new blogpost called ' Mise-en-scene video feedback and learner response '. Make sure your completed recreation video is uploaded to YouTube and embedded in the blogpost. 1) Type up your feedback from your teacher in full. This is a good recreation that meets the brief. Picking a school-based scene made sense and I like the way you’ve deliberately picked locations in the school to match as closely as you could to the original clip. Co-ordinating a recreation with five actors is not easy – either in organisation or camerawork! You’ve done well to recreate some of those shots effectively. In terms of mise-en-scene, there are two key aspects to learn from this experience. Firstly, costume (including shoes) communicates a huge amount about character and the shoes in your opening to the clip could have matched the original closer (which links to the stereotypes that the original film plays with). Similarly, casting and costume could...
