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.

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...
