Mood Board Feedback

Hello,
A mood board is a board in which you show of your ideas for your film, including, pictures of the location, actors and a color pallet showcasing the colors which will be the main colors in our film.
In our mood board we gave a short synopsis about the film, talked about the locations we will be using, the actor we would be using (but we know have to change as the actor has changed his mind), the narrative structure, whether it was linear or not. I specifically talked about the actor and the camera movement and editing, I talked about how we would film the flashbacks and how it would be black and white and we would be changing the aspect ratios to make the scene look separate to the rest of the film, make it stand out. I talked about the editing as we were going to use a lot of cutaways and cross cutting in our flashbacks. When we talked about the color pallet the main colors we talked about were green,grey,brown,black and pink.

When we talked about the Psychographics would typically be female, dancers and fans of classic film such as Billy Elliot. The demographics would be mixed audience mostly female, but could be male as we have a sort of grittiness in film which may appeal to a male audience,

Theory Work - TV Studio

Hello,

In the TV studio we had to talk about news headlines and how to present the news, changing the headlines to make them positive or negative, which was very difficult. We also discussed about our essays and if everyone managed to do it.

Also in Sarah's lesson we did Foley which is the way you make sounds in films and TV by using objects to fit sounds in the show or film. We had to choose a film and remove the sound and start putting our own sound in it, using our own sound by making them.

Theory Work - News Package

Hello,
Today we gave feedback on the presentations which we did last week, we worked in groups or pairs and filled in a sheet about our presentation, what we could of improved and what other people thought we could have done better, I got told my presentation had,
  • Very good info, good use of slides, and well presented
  • A very good video, likes the history of my presentation.

To improve they told me I could have been,
  • Less nervous
  • To be more enthusiastic about my topic.
I thought my presentation was very well ordered and everything was in the order I wanted it to be in, but I think what let me down was that I was being very nervous and as I was told I needed to be more enthusiastic about my topic.

News Package - Prezi

Hello,

Today we used a software called Prezi which is another way of presenting instead of power point it was easy to use, but it was a little bit more complicated than power point, but once you got used to it, it was easy to use. I swapped my presentation over from power point, so I changed all my information over from the power point and did it on Prezi. I think it will change the way I do presentations in the future and help me to achieve the higher grades I would like. There are some advantages to using power point because I think that you could put more information on a power point presentation but Prezi makes your presentation more interactive and keeps them engaged more.
