Cinematography video feedback/learner response

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

  • Absolutely outstanding - I loved it!
  • Superbly creative interpretation of the brief, excellent labelling of shots and angles/movement
  • Sound and mise-en-scene also excellent. superb work!

2) Type up your feedback from fellow students.

  • Great labelling
  • Good camera shots/angles/use of environment
  • Great Actors/sounds/editing
  • Good narrative/creative
  • Some actors laughing
  • (Perfect)

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:
  • Labelled all the camera angles/shots and movements really well
  • Creative use of mise-en-scene to create narrative
  • Really good editing that amplified the comedic qualities
EBI:
  • Need challenge myself even more to use angles in more creative ways
  • Be a better director (actors laughing)
  • Have it meet the brief exactly at 1 minute
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 think that from this practical use of cinematography has shown me that using camera shots can convey different things about the narrative and overall theme of certain scenes while also establishing the characters as either important and someone we should sympathise with or someone who isn't that important or will play a certain role while the focus of certain parts through different camera shots can convey how the narrative will be driven.

For my future coursework i definitely want to improve my editing but focusing on the cinematography of the coursework I would like to use more extreme and creative ways of using camera shots to convey certain feelings and distinct narrative that allows for the audience to really immerse themselves into the creation.

What i really liked was the use of the still image of thhe selfie in one of the productions that had been shown as it adds some comedic value to their text while also establishing that its not meant to be taken to seriously which I like as it allows the audience to take that scene however they want as either being a statistical murderer who keeps mementos of his murders or just a picture portrayed in a comedic light within something that feels much more horror like.

Magazine first rough

  Front Double page spread Extra page

Print brief research and planning

Brief Print You should create  four pages from a music magazine  – specifically: a  front cover  featuring the artist/band promoted in Task One a  two-page interview  with the artist/band one page with  content relevant to the magazine  and the target audience. The magazine targets a  mainstream music audience . The front cover and interview can use some images from the same photoshoot but other original images should also be used that offer some visual variety. The interview should be used to promote the tour and the music track. It should also reinforce the brand image of the artist/band and integrate some reference to the footwear manufacturers who are sponsoring the band/artist. What do you need to produce? 1) The front page (A4 portrait) for a new, original music magazine aimed at a mainstream audience that you have created: Title and masthead - DY (Discordant Youth) Selling line (slogan) - ( Rising star/Revolutionising what it means to ...

Rough draft feedback

Estimated current grade: C   Comments & feedback:   There are some very nice moments here – the artist branding is excellent (in fact, you should make more of it!) and the narrative/performance crossover basically works. Some of the performance shots are really good and the simple narrative is satisfying. The challenge now is to look over the structure of the three minutes and also think about whether it’s worth shooting or re-shooting any of the sections. You have a shot of the Converse shoes (very briefly) but I wonder if that element of the brief is something you could make more of? Is there any way you could tie it into the narrative at all? The performance element – the close-ups and moving camera are good but the wide shot with the backdrop not covering the whole shot. Deliberate?  Lip syncing (and guitar syncing) is not quite on it – is that a performance or editing thing? This wil...
