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.

Music video pre-production

1) Music video treatment You may already have a finished music video treatment from your summer project and/or preliminary exercise - definitely use or develop that if it works with your project.  However, you may need to update your treatment or even change it completely now you have finished your preliminary exercise. The original example from the summer for music video treatments can be found here. Green day - Wake me up when September ends - Original Artist + Song ClueS (will abbreviate to CS for treatment) - Artist Warm tones: Orange, teal 2 shots, low angle, Nostalgia/friendship The camera is on a close up of the pavement curb as 'CS' steps up revealing shoe brand. Then the camera moves anticlockwise and up to meet the face of 'CS' and cuts to a medium shot of him walking towards a bridge. Camera cuts to a side view and as 'CS' walks, the time changes and man is introduced walking alongside 'CS' towards the bridge. Montage of both actors having fun...

Statement of Intent

This week, we need to write and submit a second draft of our Statement of Intent that will be marked and given feedback in terms of a current level and approximate grade. The Statement of Intent is worth 10 of the 60 marks so if we want A/A* we'll need something close to full marks on this component.    One important point to remember is that your Statement of Intent is what you are planning to do - so it must be written in the future tense ('I will...' rather than 'I have...') This is not an evaluation but instead a written account of what you intend to produce. You need to submit the second draft of your Statement of Intent as a NEW blog post AND email or share a version from Microsoft Word / Google Docs with your coursework teacher. Statement of Intent guidance is provided by AQA in their NEA Student Booklet but we strongly recommend you also look at our Statement of Intent questions to consider document too (you'll need to log in with your Greenford Googl...
