Cinematography video feedback/learners response

Mr Halseys comment:
  • some great shots and narrative is effective in engaging audience
  • POV of the kick was excellent
  • In other places, you lost focus (e.g. over the shoulder shot)
  • In terms of narrative, needing to use text (2 hours later) is usually one to be avoided but nevertheless an effective response
  • No titles/shot descriptions
Feedback from fellow students:
WWW:
  • Good/interesting narrative
  • range of shots
  • music went well
  • good acting 
  • good camera work
  • captivating storyline
  • very well plotted
EBI:
  • Add in the names of the camera shots
  • Try and get cleaner shots
  • Show different shots
I believe I portrayed an interesting storyline where the range of shots with the rapid movements of each shot allowed the audience to feel on edge and more interested in the narrative. Also the music allowed this to happen as it gave that dramatic effect. The camera work was also good by Samie Miah as there were no shaking allowing people to be more focused on the narrative rather than the camera work.
On the other hand, I should label the shots which allows Mr Halsey to know that I understand the shots of each name. I should've also showed different shots like a medium close-up as my work was over the time limit being 1 minute. Even though the camera wasn't shaking, it was a but rough so I must take more cleaner shots (may purchase a better lense)

What I learnt from making this video is that movies don't only use different shots for effect but also there is a meaning behind different shots. (e.g. POV shot may be used for the audience to fell how the actor feels rather than it looking cool). By summer is should improve on focused shots and my editing.

statement of intent learners response

Vaagesan Mark: 5 Grade: C Comments on Statement of Intent: ·          There is a lot of impressive content here – you’ve clearly thought about your concept in detail, the title and tagline are excellent and you use some media terminology and theory. However, I’m worried this doesn’t meet the brief. I know you address this in the statement but I just don’t think a pre-watershed show aimed at a family audience would have this narrative. One to think about and reflect on seriously. ·          In terms of word count, I think you have too much narrative description and not enough of the other aspects of the statement of intent. ·          You need a lot more media terminology in terms of the technical construction of your trailer – camera shots, sound, mise-en-scene, editing. Due to the word limit you won’t be able to include too much but choose a coup...

It then cuts to a dolly shot of cars with music which therefore gains the interest of the audience. Different match on action shots which also adds realism. The adding of slow motion is appealing which therefore catches the eyes of the audience. There is a lot of tilt and panning shots at the start showing a still position which allows the audience to distinguish the setting rather than the camera moving around. The characters are all present in one room and is easily identifiable my the emotion and increased roles. The narrative is also under stable from their body movements, emotion and the props being a lot of money which may imply illegal mo...
