!!! EXAM STUFF !!!

You need to familiarize yourself with these questions. Once you have made your film you will be asked to answer these questions. YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THEM. Especially now as you start because you will then know what to think about as you create your film. They will help you when writing posts.

 

1.     In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? 

 

2.     How does your media product represent particular social groups? 

 

3.     What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why? 

 

4.     Who would be the audience for your media product? 

 

5.     How did you attract/address your audience? 

 

6.     What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? 

 

7.     Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? 

PRELIMINARY TASK POSTS

All Story boards and shot plans should be uploaded onto your portfolio blog. A shot list and script would be good as well. 

You should write something about each post you put up and you should give the post a title.

Your preliminary tasks need to be uploaded to the blog too.

Posts should include:
180 degree rule
30 degree rule
match on action
Shot reverse shot
Continuity

For each of these posts you should use your preliminary task as an example. You need to get clips from the prelim. task film uploaded to illustrate each of the above technical elements.

A post on using final cut pro and the digital camera should be there too. You should start a list of all the technologies you have used for this task. Screen grabs of the software in use should be used to show your understanding.
