Evaluation- Marking

1) You seem to have split this post into multiple posts. What you have written is very good
2) Excellent post on representation of middle class white children
3) Very thorough post on institutions
4) Good understanding of BBFC and the primary and secondary audience. No audience profile
5) You've described similar films but not what they did to attract an audience. Fine on addressing audience but didn't really deal with attracting
6) Good on tech
7) The generalised evaluation doesn't address the prelim but does chronicle in some detail the journey that the girls went on while producing their film

Level 3 12–15 marks
• Proficient skill in the use of digital technology or ICT in the evaluation.
• Proficient understanding of issues around audience, institution, technology, representation, forms and conventions in relation to production.
• Proficient ability to refer to the choices made and outcomes.
• Proficient understanding of their development from preliminary to full task.
• Proficient ability to communicate.

The girls' evaluation is basic in its use of ICT but does include images and videos to support their points
Excellent on audience, institution, technology, representation and forms and conventions
Proficient ability to explain choices
Basic understanding of development from prelim
Excellent ability to communicate

Introduction

Hello! I'm Tilly and this is Amy! This blog is going to outline our Media A Level project, starting with our pitch and preliminary task until our final project, a 2-minute film opening of our own design. The final project will incorporate the conventions of film openings, such as establishing the setting, genre, primary characters, aesthetic, establishment of enigma and, most likely, it will include opening titles. We will also include various camera shots, camera angles, camera techniques (e.g. handheld camera adds tension, verisimilitude and can create POV shots) and a diverse cast. We also hope to create enigma and interest in the film. We have chosen to explore the family adventure movie genre. As we don't have the technology to create CGI animated children's films (or the budget), we will be attempting a live-action children's film instead. Examples of this type of film include ' Home Alone (1990) ', ' Cheaper By The Dozen (2003) ', or ...

Basic Pitch and Conventions of the Family Film Genre

Basic Pitch What genre will your film opening be? The genre of our film will be a live-action family adventure. We would like to incorporate various themes, most notably 'imagination', that will help build the idea of family values and heart warming story lines, as well as endear the audience to the characters. We plan to have the film made in a live-action format, with visual actors, as we currently do not have the budget or the skills to animate a full film opening. Some examples of films we are looking at within this genre are: ' Ramona and Beezus (2010) ', ' Cheaper By The Dozen (2003) ' and ' Bridge to Terabithia (2007) ', which all feature these aspects. What are the codes and conventions of this genre? There are various codes and conventions within the 'Family Film' genre, such as: Comedy elements, usually slapstick or unfortunate scenarios happening to (often rude) adult characters e.g. Harry Lime and Marv Merch...

Media Preliminary - Final Version

This is the video version of our preliminary. It features a match-on-action, use of the 180 degree rule and a shot-reverse-shot. The girl with glasses is Tilly, who is playing the 'teacher's pet' character, and the girl opposite is Claire, who is playing the 'delinquent' character. These are the st o ryboards we used as the basis for our video. We tried to keep the live-action version as close to the original as possible. In the first day of filming, we did make the mistake of filming the wrong door in which Claire was supposed to enter, as the door depicted in the storyboards was opposite the one filmed. This was remedied later by re-filming the shot. Similarly, the first day of filming led to inaccuracies in regards to the 180 degree rule, as it was broken during some shots by accident, which we again later remedied on the next day of filming. There was no problems in regards to the shot-reverse-shot, but there were small, extraneous inconsiste...
