Coursework: 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.

 

  • One absolutely massive immediate problem: it’s in portrait. This is a professional TV brief and it’s crucial you produce something that could go on Netflix or iPlayer and not look out of place (if you want a top grade). This is effectively a YouTube short which is a completely different type of media.
  • I don’t like the opening POV shot – it feels like a 90s videogame rather than a 2023 TV drama. The prop / blood is OK but the shot lasts too long.
  • I like the heartbeat-style sound effect / music in the background, it’s perfect for building tension.
  • The dialogue communicates meaning but it’s pretty clichéd – it feels like a narrative/character that has been done before. There’s also no clear positioning of the audience in terms of who we are meant to be sympathising with. Are we on his side or not? 

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: Props are good
WWW: Crime genre clearly conveyed.
WWW:  The sound fit the well.

EBI: recorded in wrong resultion 
EBI: first person shots don't work
EBI: lack of dialogue

3) How effectively did you complete the objective you laid out in your mini preliminary exercise statement of intent?
It was completely different from the preliminary exercise.

4) What have you learned from the preliminary exercise that will help you in the actual coursework project?
To have the recording on landscape instead of portrait.

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 and narrative or technical elements such as mise-en-scene, camerawork or editing.
I maintain the same concept but bring my a whole cast.

Mise en scene analysis

Image
  1) Find a distinctive   still image   and write an analysis of the mise-en-scene. Use each of the aspects you've learned in the lesson. The lighning is very bright and vibrant to emphasise the danger upon the human at the top and it is much darker in the bottom to show the ominous nature of the shark.The setting is in the ocean which conveys the normal area for a shark to attack in. The actor is placed directly above to the shark to foreshadow the upcoming doom they are about to face. The actor is shown to be in a swimming motion and is desperate to escape. 2) Find  TWO  film or TV extracts on YouTube from different genres (e.g. horror, sci-fi, costume drama). Embed them in your blogpost and write a comparison of the mise-en-scene in each.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3lSvJ5RXKA -Scream. The actor is wearing a very casual clothing to express the normality of  the household setting.The main prop being used is the mobile phone to call the stranger. The prop of popcorn is used

400 words for script for page 4

The wait has finally ended ladies and gentlemen! We are pleased to welcome director Bob Smith into our home studio for a short interview about his new crime drama "Mercenary" interviewed by the one and only Mark Steve. MS: It's a pleasure to meet you Bob, tell us about your new crime drama release featuring on Netflix. BS: Nice to meet you Steve! Yes, I'm thrilled to be here today so the name "Mercenary" is actually a synonym for the word "hit-man" which sounds much less exciting and exhilarating to the audience. Mercenary isn't like your typical action drama like Top Boy. The show is trying to highlight that even these stone-cold killers experience emotional trauma and draws onto the dark nature of that industry.  MS: That sounds interesting! Never heard anything like that before. I view that as you adding a twist onto the crime drama specially after viewing that spectacular trailer that has the audience all hyped up behind. Tell us more about

Music Video: Postcolonial theory

  1) What are the visual cues the article lists as linked to the western genre?  The visual cues are cow prints, cowboy hats and fringed suede jackets. 2) How did the Yeehaw agenda come about?  This agenda came in roughly around September 2018. 3) Why has it been suggested that the black cowboy has been 'erased from American culture'?  People did not realise that 25 percent of cowboys were black and mostly stereotyped cowboys with white  culture. 4) How has the black cowboy aesthetic been reflected by the fashion industry? The aesthetic is starting to get popular and is more commonly wore now in fashion. 5) Read the section on Lil Nas X and Old Town Road. What does it suggest about race and the country music community? This contains all the elements of a country song however is still said to not embrace all the aspects of today's country music. 6) What elements of the song and music video are suggested to be authentically country and western? The setting at the beginning of
