Preliminary exercise learner response

 1) Type up your teacher's feedback in full plus a summary of the comments you received from other students in the class.

  • Really impressive preliminary exercise – going for the chorus was an excellent idea and the pace and number of shots is exactly what we want for a music video. 
  • Editing is the real strength here – superb pace, matches the beat and several really well constructed moments. 
  • Lip syncing is perfect in places but slightly off in others? Worth checking very carefully for full video.
  • Do you need a separate studio performance element?
  • Only comment on concept is to avoid it becoming too much like an advert for London tourism. 
  • Needed brand identity of your artist in there – that was part of the brief for the preliminary exercise.
  • Really good pace of editing 
  • too many hair flips 

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: 

  • variety of shots  and locations and good editing pace
  • good lip syncing at points
  • flowers to fit with the lyrics
EBI: 

  • lip syncing off at some points 
  • too many hair flips 
  • make a scene with clear background / studio element 

3) How effectively did you complete the objective you laid out in your mini preliminary exercise statement of intent?

I did do variety of shots didn't use all of the angles but used most of them. 

4) What have you learned from the preliminary exercise that will help you in the actual coursework project?

Lip syncing to perfect it as when you export it sometimes its off as well as the colour gradient. also try using plain backgrounds more often and i am going to use later on in the video bedroom vibes to make it more unique and change the setting. 

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 or technical elements such as mise-en-scene, camerawork or editing.

I may be changing the sponsorship footwear to air force ones or converse. For camera work maybe more medium and medium close up shots mostly I may need to try adding like over the shoulder shots.

Film Industry: Blinded By The Light case study

 Background reading and production research Read the following interviews and features on Blinded By The Light: 1) What is the story behind the production of the film? Adapted from a book called Greetings From Bury Park by Sarfraz Manzoor (a play on 'Greetings From Asbury Park' - a Bruce Springsteen album). The memoir outlined his experiences growing up in Luton in the 1980s and discovering the music of Springsteen. 2) What was the audience reaction to the film? common reactions is that people say they were touched by the depiction of the friendship of Javed and Roops," to the extent that people now tweet me to tell of the friend who was “their Roops” – the one who introduced them to a life-changing musician or band. My mate has become a noun." said Sarfraz Manzoor  3) Why is the Sundance Film Festival such an important part of the film industry - particularly for lower budget films?  The goal of the festival was to showcase American-made films, highlight the potenti...

TV: Capital case study

 Reviews and features Read the following review and feature on Capital: Guardian review by Sam Wollaston London Evening Standard: five things you need to know about Capital 1) What positive points does the review pick out about Capital? What criticisms are made - either of the TV drama or the original novel? It’s more complicated – and more interesting – than just wonderful and terrible.  It’s not just a brilliant allegorical portrait of London. There are stories to tell, the postcards keep coming, then DVDs, someone really WANTS WHAT THEY HAVE. Probably everyone does. The cast is brilliant but John Lanchester’s novel of the same name offered a hilarious and incisive look at the boom-and-bust economics of 2007 and 2008 as the backdrop for its characters. It received significant praise from critics, and its themes remain disappointingly relevant almost a decade later. Personal identities and relationship between audience and chracters. It will ring true for a lot of London...
