Hi Hunter
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting a bit more effort into this. A few pointers for things to tweak further are;
1. Your first blog tool isn't very effective as the slides aren't very big and the font / writing isn't clear. It is really hard to read. Can you make this bigger?
You also should have photos here! Show me photos of the conventions you included. If you talk about where you did a close-up, take screen grabs of when you used a close up and contrast to other films you used for inspiration and show what sort of close-up's they used. This can be done quite easily as you only need to Google images for the conventions you're after. It's all about DETAIL, you have a list there but it's the details that will get you those higher marks.
2. There is an embedded Sharepoint link in there that needs me to sign in to view. Is that part of a question you're answering?
3. Question 2 needs some attention on the first slide. You used no capitals to start sentences and just basic Yr 12 English skills. It isn't English so no need to be too padantic, but the difference between the first and second slide is too big for that second slide to be your own work. Slide one, where you introduce your characters is where you need to talk about REPRESENTATION. Get photos of gangsters, show us how you meant to portray them and what type of characters you were trying to create. Talk about the effect this type of character has on the audience. Are we meant to empathise with them? Are we meant to be intimidated by them?
Think of more sophisticated ways of saying 'scary'. Even if it means getting a dictionary and looking up synonyms for some of those words like 'scary' and 'vibe'. This is part of demonstrating you understand film language. You can talk about the 'tone' of your film, the 'genre conventions' that 'add tension and suspense'.
4. Question 3 is missing. Question 4, the answer you've labelled here is meant to be about hardware, software & technology you learnt to use. There should be images here for MP3 Youtube converter that you used for music, every tutorial you learnt to use and what it taught you to do, screen shots of you using Premier Pro and After Effects, photos of the camera you used and the type of camera it is, photos of the software you used to design your logo - just everything you used to make the film.
Question 3 that is missing is more about the skills you picked up along the way (things like time management/ working in a group / talking about issues you had with locations or actors / things you liked and didn't like about the overall film you made - did you think it was 'scary' or tense enough for a thriller? What did you want to try next time? (from what I remember, you guys weren't thrilled with your location being so light and you wanted to try a darker, more scary location for the next time. Why don't you mention this?)
