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 use same clip twice
  • Lighting

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


Before hand, I planned everything on what to do, storyboard, equipment needed and plans to shoot. Once everything was planned I followed my list and plans to carry out the shoot effectively. There was certain problems with lighting not being that well and later finding out on editing the some of the shots were out of of focus. I am going to have to change a bit of my statement intent as later on I realised i'm going to have tweak some things so it fits relatively to the plan.


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


I've learned some key editing skills to help with my project. As well as going in depth in the use of audio, lighting and different camera shots to represent different narratives and emotions.


5) Now you have completed the preliminary exercise, will you change anything in your actual documentary plan? This could include interviewees, the focus/angle on your 


I will want to re shoot the interview as I want to improve the quality. I'm going to have to tweak my statement of intent so it fits with the narrative. Also going have to re plan some filming to improve quality.

Cinematic blog task

Cinematography blog task: Breaking Bad opening minutes.  1) The opening scene plays a important role to attract audience to the series. This episode is called "Pilot". Pilot isn't a name referencing something from the episode, a pilot is a standalone episode which introduces the viewers the characters, the plot and settings. It's called a pilot because a plane takes-off with the audience, it then stays airborne if the audience like the plot and character and wishes to stay. But if they don't wish to continue they land and get on the next flight. The way that breaking bad made their pilot episode should set a example on how it should be for every single drama series.  The first seconds of the clip starts with long, establishing shots of deserts and cliffs. Then the camera tilts towards a piece of pants the came from the sky and lands on the ground but later for the camera to be fixed on a caravan that runs over the pants. Then for next 30 seconds goes over differen

Editing Analysis

Your final analytical blog task is to find a film or television clip on YouTube that you feel has been edited in a distinctive way and write a 750 word analysis of the clip.  This clip is about Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is sent by the US government to rescue a group of politicians being held hostage in Guatemala. The clip starts with Dutch arriving to the base and meeting the general. We then immediately change the scene to inside where they talk about the mission. The interesting part now is the next scenes. The next scene is a long-zoomed shot of Dylan. Different mise-en-scene can apply in this shot. The lighting shows more shadows to portray mystery. The actor pose shows he is relaxed. When the audience is watching this for the first time this scene can build tension. Then the next scene where Dutch slowly turns around and looks at him builds even more tension. Then tension dies off in an exciting manner and goes to the iconic scene. In the next couple of scene, we can analyse t
