MEDIA AS LEVEL PROJECT FINAL TASK

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...

Evaluation of Preliminary Task

Evaluation Explain about how you went about the three compulsory aspects of this exercise - shot reverse shot, 180-degree rule and match on action editing. The compulsory editing aspects of the preliminary task were all followed correctly throughout the entirety of the video.The shot reverse shot features the two primary actors (Claire and Tilly) sitting face-to-face at a desk when t hey have a conversation about how Claire had been stealing stationery from people’s lockers around the school. The camera flicked between them numerous times varying between close up and medium shots. These shots show the facial expressions of our actors and help to pull the story line together. The 180-degree rule was a little bit tougher for us to follow, as we had to re-shoot the opening shot as we had accidentally broken the rule. However, the re-shoot meant that the rule was no longer broken and the editing could be completed efficiently. The final compulsory aspect wa...

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 ...
