Research and Planning - 9

The work that is here is of a proficient level, there is evidence of research into similar products, however this work does tend to be a little too descriptive rather than analytical. Overall the planning and research is partially incomplete, with no evidence of work on potential target audiences, and limited organisation of actors, locations and costumes and props. There is a detailed script which doesn’t follow conventions, but is proficient. There is an excellent storyboard though and a good level of care in presentation. Overall this blog needs more evidence of planning for the main task in order to move it into a level 3.

Main Task – 57

The tone is set stylishly in this simple but sophisticated film opening. There is an excellent variety of camera movements, tilts and pans, as well as some creative and excellent framing, notably the dead body arm in the foreground while the antagonist approaches. The credits follow conventions and keep pace with the slow but sophisticated pace. There is a clear narrative and the editing is excellent with a clear build up of sequences and match on actions. This is clearly fulfilling the task set and meaning is conveyed through editing, the sophisticated soundscape and editing.
