- 'Genre' - key elements of a genre. A test post. MUST be hosted on SlideShare, must be a visible PDF and embedded on your blog.
- An explanation of the 180 degree rule.
- Your own explanation of the 180 rule with your own example pictures. This CAN be included with the work task 2.
- An explanation of what Match on Match editing is (also known as match editing, match on editing, continuity editing and many others).
- Your own example of Match on Match editing in the form of your own video. A short explanation of what you did should be included. Those looking for extra marks/credit may choose to include a more detailed explanation. Those looking for the highest marks should also include small clips of the longer clips you filmed and screengrabs of how you edited this. This could even include a recorded version of your desktop as you show and explain how and why you did what you did.
- Preliminary task: (Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.)
- Genre research for your own planned/ideal genre for your film opening. This should be more than a PDF. A short PPT turned into a video would be fine. A Pretzi or a slideshow would also be suitable.
- Example clips of your chosen analysis with commentary of how these clips are of the selected genre. Focus should be on mise-en-scene and potentially editing and sound.
- NEW: Watch three openings to three different films from your chosen genre. Use the form attached to the post below to add information about how that genre is created.
- A 6 frame storyboard that shows the opening to the genre you've been researching.
PLANNING
- Storyboard for your own idea.
- Script.
- Location scouting: photos of possible/potential locations with brief caption as to why suitable for each location. (For higher marks, side-by-side comparison with screen shots from comparable film.) For HIGHER marks, try using ThingLink to annotate the photos.
- Shooting plan/s including equipment requests, health and safety documents and disclaimers/waivers from other involved.
- A moodboard of clothes for costumes.
- A 'list' (ideally something more creative) of props.
