Assessment Critera

I watched 3 film opening's of student film and looked at how they could be developed into trailers.
Blink Murder - I've assessed this opening as a Level 3 as I feel they haven't considered the framing of some of their shots.
Caught in the Web - I've assesed this opening as boardering on Level 3/4 as they have been very creative with their camera shots, and really considered mise-en-scene, encluding costume, location and props.
Double Edge - I think the opening would have just fallen into a Level 4, they have been really creative with some of the shot types and compesition of their shots. The second half is alot better than the first, the second half begins to reflect an independant film.

The films could be turned into trailers by:
Blink Murder - By cutting it when the titles come up, and loseing the narrative scene.
Caught in the Web - Cut the clip at 33 seconds and put some titles on.
Double Edge - Open the trailer with the video tape going into the VCR, and showing the hostage video.

Peer Assesment

Targets:

-Explain the task a bit more in my brief.

-Compare examples from existing trailers to my work more often.

-Audience research

Reflective Writing

So far I have looked at exsisting medias in my genre. Looking at exsisting trailers has helped me usnderstand codes and conventions of my genre. Understanding these codes and conventions will help me produce a succsessful trailers that fits my genre. I have also learned what are common stereotypes of my genre, and similar themes. I've also looked at exsisting films posters and again looked at codes and conventions of these so I can produce a good film posters for my coursework.
