Learner Response:


What were the strengths and weaknesses of your final film? Write a detailed analysis picking out specific shots, edits and any other aspect of film language you think is relevant.

A weakness of my film was that the ending seemed quite abrupt and in order to avoid that I should have used an edit such as dip to black to make the transition look smoother. A strength of my film was that I used low key lighting which helped create the dark atmosphere for my film and interrogation scene. The low key lighting also helped focus the viewers attention on the characters. Another strength of mine was the use of match on action shot when the protagonist slammed the case file on to the desk which emphasised the seriousness of the situation. I also used slow motion to intensify the scene when required. 

What aspect of editing did you find most difficult? How will you further develop your editing skills prior to starting the coursework in June?


The most difficult part for me was trying to get the audios from different shots to play over other shots and switch back from the shot/reverse shots. I will continue to practise different skills on premiere pro and watch YouTube tutorials in order to get help and a better understanding of the programme.

radio: war of the worlds

1) What is the history and narrative behind War of the Worlds? The War of the Worlds radio play (1938) is adapted from the original War of the Worlds novel by H.G Wells (published in 1898). It is about  an alien invasion and the ensuing  conflict  between mankind and an extraterrestrial  race from Mars. The text has been  frequently interpreted as a commentary on  British Imperialism and Victorian fear and  prejudice. Since then, several film adaptations have been made of the book, including the 2005 version starring Tom Cruise. 2) When was it first broadcast and what is the popular myth regarding the reaction from the audience? War of the Worlds was first broadcast on 30th October 1938. P opular myth has it that thousands  of New Yorkers fled their homes in panic, and all across America  people crowded the streets to witness for themselves the real space  battle  between earth and the Martians.  It is often highlighted as an early example of mass hysteria  caused by the media

statement of intent

I intend to produce a horror film trailer that is approximately 90 seconds long. For the trailer I intent to use horror movie conventions such as suspenseful music, low key lighting and fast paced editing. The element of repetition (Neale) will enable my production to be recognized as horror; I will include equilibrium and disequilibrium (Todrov) however my trailer will end on a cliff hanger, so the audience is motivated in order to identify the new equilibrium. The trailer will hint at the narrative which involves, a group of teenagers who are currently in high school and one of them experiences supernatural presences after reading a book- I will be using a copy of hunger games book which I will damage to add to the horror effects. I will avoid giving away too much information in my trailer as that would cancel out any enigma codes.    The camerawork is crucial for my type of production as it will not only convey the genre but also my narrative to an extent. I will be including
