Exam paper 2 LR

WWW:  Good examples used. Good approach although you spiral a lot into other things EBI: Fix handwriting more, better structure of answers. More theorists which bring further depth to your answer. More genre codes and conventional limit oppositional readings. 2) Read  the mark scheme for this exam carefully , paying particular attention to the 'indicative content' for each question. Firstly, focus on the unseen question and identify two aspects of the poster that you could have written about in your answer. -   the visual codes and iconography of the image including colour and setting as it relates to the thriller/horror/supernatural etc genre (isolated setting, low key lighting, blue hue) - the use of props to denote the narrative and genre elements 3) Look at the indicative content for Q1 again and make a note of any theories or examples of media terminology you could have used in your answer. - Propp character theory ( E.G the villain, the hero, the false hero and the donor)

Music video: Pre-production

Mise-en scene planning: CLAMPS! COSTUME: For the bed scene I would like to use pyjamas as I am of course sleeping in bed. The pyjamas have to be dishevelled to demonstrate the messiness of my life.

A small detail I want is using water to cover my face to make it seem like I am sweating as I want to transition to the nightmare it helps the audience understand my stress and pain easier. LIGHTING: For the bed scene, A lamp is going to be used. A sleeping atmosphere must be created so I do not want high key lighting as that is too bright for me to sleep at but mid key lighting to highlight my sweaty face and my constant shaking in bed. For the park scene, It is mostly going to be low key lighting as it is a nightmare I want it to be dark ( not too dark but enough to create this feeling of doom. Actors: For most of the video it will be me in the video. In some cuts, I might add my little brot

Preliminary production Learner response:

WWW:  Good concept Effective narrative -Two locations  -Contrast well Some good framing Good cinematography and editing ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ EBI:  Embed videos More detailed research( analyse media language) More detailed shot list More cutting back to bed Lighting needs to be more prevalent Some shots too long( Add more editing and more surreal) Export quality/resolution 3) How effectively did you complete the objective you laid out in your mini preliminary exercise  statement of intent ?
