Preliminary exercise learner response

1) Teacher's feedback:
  • Really good framing of shots (e.g. opening when sat up in bed, multiple angles).
  • Question- regarding light: deliberate in terms of daytime setting or time of year ? One to consider.
  • Slight criticism in terms of editing towards end- cutting between very similar shots- almost jump cuts. Not sure if deliberate.
  • Audio generally superb- aside perhaps from the last 20 seconds or so.
 2)

WWW: The music was perfect for scene- created tension.
WWW: Framing of shots were excellent, close ups of sink + water + point of view shot really well done.
WWW: Excellent mise-en-scene. Used conventions of horror.

EBI: Slight criticism in terms of editing towards the end- almost jump cuts.
EBI: Audio near the end doesn't fit well with the scene.
EBI: Question regarding light.

3) In my opinion, I believe that I did complete the objective I laid in my statement of intent to a high standard however, there were a few minor changes I made while filming. This is because I had various shots for my shot list, which varied my filming. I managed to use traditional conventions of psychological thrillers, such as the setting and mise-en-scene. Also, the actor used enforces stereotypes, e.g. a young actor.

4) I have learnt that you should never rush your editing, especially the last scenes, because it can let your whole grade down.  Also, while filming, particularly in the dark, I should use a 50 lenses, to get rid of the fuzzy quality.

5)  The current plans for my coursework:
  • Genre: Horror
  • The narrative will be the same.
  • Same protagonist, I will include other characters.
  • Same location, may include exterior locations.

Star persona feedback

1) How did your star persona mood board planning help clarify and develop your ideas? The mood board helped me create a foundation as to what I  wanted to create, as well as inspiring me to create different kinds of looks 2) Thinking technically, how could you improve your work for future videos? (E.g. filming, editing, sound etc.) I will ensure that their is better lighting in the models face so every little detail can be seen as well as making sure that the zooming in and out from the camera is very clean 3) Thinking in terms of mise-en-scene, what were the aspects of CLAMPS you used effectively in your video? I think the only one aspect I have used effectively is make-up as we had people that knew their way around with it.  4) What aspect of mise-en-scene (CLAMPS) could you have improved or done differently? I could improve on lighting and especially costume because of the costume would have been more fancy and complimented the make-up at the same time it would have made th...

Sound video and feedback

feedback from others: Good use of clips. Good use of parallel sounds. Significant example of contrapuntal sound and parallel sound and sound bridge music overlapping in other scenes was used. The sound track perfectly matched the pace of the video. You had a range of different clips from different genres to show contrapuntal sound as well as parallel sound. Good transitions throughout the video. Music was parallel at the end. The contrapuntal scene matched the pace of the video. Good transitions made it smooth. The music contrasted with the horror scenes and it went well with the sad scenes. A good sound bridge was used in the video. Good use of contrapuntal at the beginning which transitions to parallel. There was a variety of genres which included contrapuntal sound in the video. Good contrapuntal scene, but could be parallel. Sound bridge from one sequence to the other. Montage of crying faces and variety of genres such as parallel, shows how much effect...
