Paper 1 Assessment: Learner response

Assessment: Learner Response 1) WWW: Overall, a very successful paper with lots of noteworthy credit such as unseen product analysis and Tatler. EBI: You miss out on marks due to not enough media terminology such as magazine conventions or not enough overall analysis in depth. 29/42 - Grade 7. 2) No direct address but the subject’s eyes are focused on pushing the heavy tyre  (physical exertion) which connotes determination and power in the face of adversity.  This is reinforced by his facial expression which has his mouth open in a roar which  connotes supremacy and effort. ‘Begins off-field’ connotes preparation and a subversive look at sporting events  (focusing on the training rather than the event itself) and underpins the above  connotation. The use of the spotlight (through the flood lit logos) links to sports matches and  connotes drama/excitement but also shines on the main image connoting his  power. 3) Main narrative theories: - Propp's character theory - Character types

Preliminary Exercise Feedback And Learner Response

Preliminary Exercise Feedback And Learner Response 1) WWW: You have displayed some excellent editing and technical skills throughout this preliminary exercise. Lovely angles and shots coupled with some really good acting especially from your part. EBI: The biggest improvement needs to be ensuring you film content outside of school to establish the fantasy genre and not limit yourself to filming at school; this will improve the overall quality of your coursework project. The other thing to work on is using audio to further establish your genre e.g. fantasy soundtrack behind the chase scene. 2) WWW: - The filming went especially well as we managed to get a lot of shots done in a short space of time. This was useful when it came to editing, as we didn't need to worry about having a limited number. Additionally, it provided us with a wider variety to work with and proved to give us more creative freedom. - The editing went really well because I had a lot of shots to work with. Working

Coursework: Pre-Production

  Coursework: Pre-Production  1) Script: (draft) Locations:  An exterior of a dark, gloomy wood. It is dimly lit and there may be few flickering street lamps in the background that provide a faint glow of light.  A dimly lit, blurry interior of a room in an unspecified building.  Ext. abandoned wood in which the protagonist is running. Their movements are urgent, and their breath comes out in short, sharp breaths - desperately. While they run, the clip demonstrates a variety of angles that set the pace to be sharp and fast. During their running, there will be flashbacks in forms of memories that the protagonist has. They feature a second character - the foil (a character whose personality clashes with the protagonist's) - who is in a dimly lit room with the protagonist.  Continuously, flashes of their last conversation will resurface in between clips of the protagonist, who is running away from this setting and towards something else. The memories will feature a tense conversation
