Cinematography: Learner Response

Cinematography: Learner Response

1) Type up your feedback/comments from your teacher:

  • Excellent soundtrack and build up of tension - nice to get a different feel and effect to the same shots as other productions.
  • A few labels incorrect or missing (e.g. some camera movement not labelled) and late "big close up" is perhaps more of a simple close-up
  • I like what you tried with the ending but perhaps if needed something more (a shot? sound?:) to really give the audience a pay-off.
2) Type up your feedback from fellow students.
  • Some text and naming was wrong, Music didn't build up tension, framing over the shoulder shots and other, good range of shots to tell narrative, nice sound effect.
3) Now reflect on your work and write your own summary of the comments and feedback you have received. Write three WWWs and three EBIs.

WWW:
  • Good camera movements to tell narrative
  • Nice array of shots
  • Good way of utilizing editing to make it clear for the audience
EBI:
  • Some text and naming was wrong
  • Failed to finish the tension
  • Could use more shots to make the narrative more clear
4) Learner response: think about what you learned about cinematography making the video and also watching others. What will you do differently when you start the coursework in the summer? What tips or tricks have you learned from others that you can use next time? Are there any specific aspects of camerawork that you need to revise or practice?
I really want to add more information on each shot for the audience to analyse. Narrative is really important to me and I feel like it could be improve on some areas. For example, I want to practice and learn how to build and use tension to my advantage so I can hook the audience. I want to make my 5 minutes shots to feel like 30 seconds. I also want more range of different shots as well. I believe I lack in mid to closeup shots, which could be improved on over time. I have learned some few tips from watching others. For example in Jobanpreet video I got some few tips and pointers on how to make more of a calm shots and camera movement.

Documentary Rough Cut Learner Response

 Learner Response: Good opening with itv indent and music/graphic Voice over hard to hear, need to redo it Tone of voice-over tone and script sounds more like a player instead of a journalist Good interview - BUT need more detail (who is interviewee, why they are there) Graphic of interviewee name could've been better (what is the F1 branding, can you recreate it) Need more interviews Too short (need to meet 3 mins) go back to brief and read through minimum requirements With more interviewee and new voice over - documentary will be stronger Once added the details above - make sure you go through the little things (length, audio levels, graphics and captions, etc) Improvements: Need more better interviews and more interviewee (better graphics, better explanation) Proportion the documentary (section for explaining, game play, introduction, AS WELL AS EXPLAINING SO THE AUDIENCE GETS THE MESSAGE CLEAR) Meet the brief as well as changing the tone and script for voice over

Coursework: Print brief research and planning

BLOG LINK  Research and planning 1) Research TV marketing poster key conventions. Find at least five examples of posters promoting a TV documentary or similar show. 2) Look at this poster campaign for the BBC3 documentary series 'Not Sorry For Being Me'. How does the campaign use design elements to create a brand for the show?  Some design element can be noted. The use of a portrait of the person with the text attached to it is the main catching point. It expresses the main story of this campaign. Another element is the information represented in this production. A hashtag and info on where you can view it helps redirect people to watch it. 3) Now look for examples of marketing material for documentaries on your chosen subject or something similar (do a Google Image search for documentaries in your chosen area e.g. mental health or sports documentary).  Planning Sketching 1) Plan the marketing strategy and main focus of each of your posters. For example: Poster 1: focus o...

Coursework: Preliminary exercise feedback and LR

 1) Type up your teacher's feedback in full plus a summary of the comments you received from other students in the class. Is this about Formula 1 or e-gaming? Might need to clarify this The lighting on you isnt great (and shot quit grains as a result) but The shot set up woth the screen in the background is excellent The opening is interesting - interview clips over black screen interspersed with dramatic shots. I think is just about worth but.. Dont repeat a clip 30 seconds later! This largely meets the brief but needs a bit of thought in terms of the real coursework WWW: Great camera shots mise-en-scene transitions and clips creative interpretation of a montage EBI: Lighting Audio Repeating clip 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 TV documentary interview. WWW Dramatic opening Good mise-en-scene with the props in the background EBI Audio Not us...
