Coursework: Preliminary exercise feedback and LR

 Coursework: Preliminary exercise feedback and LR

The preliminary exercise is a brilliant opportunity to learn or refresh the basics of filmmaking before creating your actual coursework project.

After the screening of the preliminary exercises in class, you need to create a blogpost called 'Preliminary exercise learner response' and embed your video from YouTube. Then, complete the following tasks as your feedback and learner response:

1) Type up your teacher's feedback in full plus a summary of the comments you received from other students in the class.

WWW:

• Hand held tracking shot at the beginning 
• Cinematography - close up
• Good performance
• Mise en scene costume 
• Shot reverse shot 
• Camera angle
• Excellent editing match on action

EBI:

• Sound quality
• Non diegetic sound

2) Using a combination of your own reflection on the preliminary exercise and the feedback you were given, write three WWW bullet points and three EBI bullet points for your work.

WWW:

• Good editing
• Great camera work
• Good acting

EBI:

• Sound quality

3) How effectively did you complete the objective you laid out in your mini preliminary exercise statement of intent?I had at least on location and mini of to characters acting in my 30 seconds clip.I also included lots of camera shots like match on action, shot reverse shot and tracking shots.My actors also had a conversation and dialogues where exchanged.

4) What have you learned from the preliminary exercise that will help you in the actual coursework project?I have learnt to record the dialogue separately and add it the the clips to avoid background sound.I have also learnt to add non diegetic sound to avoid emptiness.

5) Now you have completed the preliminary exercise, will you change anything about your actual coursework video plan? This could include your concept, cast/actors and narrative or technical elements such as mise-en-scene, camerawork or editing.I will change the beginning to a shorter start so it isn’t dragged and add non diegetic sound. Overall I am pleased with my start but I will have to re film the first half.
