Preliminary exercise feedback and LR

 


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

  • Some really nice moments in this – I like the jump cuts at the start to introduce the relationship. I wonder if the cuts need to be slightly faster? But the effect really works.
  • The way the song comes in is great but then I’m not sure what is happening with the visuals – it just seems like there’s nothing on screen? One to think about.
  • In general, you need a much wider variety of shots – particularly close-ups. Could you have filmed more through the front windows to create that visual variety? You could also have used the rear view mirror for creative shots etc.
  • Obviously need to fix formatting / export issue but I’m sure that can be done. It’s clearly filmed in landscape and just exported in portrait.
  • Need brand identity of your artist in there alongside footwear element.

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:
  • the jump shots gave a nostalgic cute feeling to suggest to the audience it was a sweet part of his life.
  • The song fits the vibe and quick shots to prove the time passes.
  • POV of the guys reaction and transition of the phone to the camera.
EBI:
  • I need to fix the formatting 
  • some clips were too slow
  • have an actual argument instead of saying random words.
3) How effectively did you complete the objective you laid out in your mini preliminary exercise statement of intent?

It met the time needed but it was a bit too long as some clips had to be cut and overall the narrative was clear.

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

  • I would use a tripod so my shits are more clear and 
  • I will write down what must be filmed before so I don't miss out on clips.
  • I would leave more time to edit and give the actors a script.

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 or technical elements such as mise-en-scene, camerawork or editing.

  • yes I want to change the actors and cast.
  • the narrative will be based on a friend relationship instead and more about bereavement of her dead friend.
  • clothes will be the friends wearing similar clothes to show they are close.

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. The music gradually builds up, creating suspense and adding to the emotional impact. This scene is important for the movie's story. It not only shows off the filmmaking skills but also reveals key aspects of the characters involved. The robbers are portrayed as skilled and organized, while law enforcement officers show cou

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
