Critical Analysis Component for Studio Unit

30% Production Role Critical Analysis (2000 words)
Alongside the practical project you will be required to write a 2000 word project analysis Crucially it should include research into studio production and the specific professional role you have undertaken and how the research informed your actual role and the production. Think of it s a piece of writing that teaches the reader about your role and uses experience of this production as anecdotal evidence to illustrate typical tasks, issues and skills.

Can start writing now as its all about researching the role. You don't know how to do the roles as you haven't been doing them long enough. Cant get all skills form that so will add to those workshops and add to that knowledge.

Show that I can critically evaluate my work, otherwise just gonna work it out in my head. Lighting is a very complex part of film making so research lighting if needed.
Finding the sources. All decisions are therefore informed. Its fine if it goes beyond what you're actually doing.
Good Quotes
A report style, looks like a report document.
Not merely a description. Use harvard referencing.
1st March first draft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't copy and paste big chunks of journal into the report. Needs to be structured and to the point. Can pull information in. Show research into other shows of a similar styler theme. Prep, test shoots, scripts, paperwork etc. Evidence to methodology goes in appendices not the middle of the report.

Story Telling Unit-Camera Workshop 3: 180 degree rule

Image
In today's workshop we were split up into groups and given a one page script and asked to film two characters discussing the 180 degree rule . The key to this task was understanding this rule and applying it. The script was a very basic duologue; the two characters come together, sit down across from each other and have a small conversation until one leaves at the end after understanding the 180degree rule. I chose to have my version with an entrance of one of the characters who is late for a meeting regarding this rule. The dialogue then starts as he begins to explain the 180 degree rule. My idea was to have them both on 'oppersite' sides of the  table, which could have appeared more tense, until the character understands the rule, the tension is broken when the first character leaves. I also wanted to test this rule with the entrance of the first character. I really enjoyed this worksop and found it useful in learning and understanding the 180 degree rule. I di...

Pre-Production: Professional Practice Interviews

Image
During the summer, I was lucky enough to be asked to take part in a work experience programme being offered to by production company 'Bareska'. In this, myself and three others were given free rein of a professional client project. I was the Co-Producer/Director/editor. I agree to do this project as it was ad-hoc- so a project I was able to work around uni and work and was also a fantastic opportunity for me to practice for my third-year major project, even if I didn't end up doing a documentary. This was fantastic practice in pre-production, directing and just speaking with contributors about a secretive subject. The Symbolism Behind the Chair I wanted to make the chair the focal point t of this piece. I feel it adds story watching Ben walk into frame and the wide shot makes it seem as though he feels alone now he doesn't have his brother, The sun is beaming in which is very atmospheric and quite angelic.  With my roles for the major project, I am going to u...

News Production: DIY Tech

Image
I am working in a group with Jack, Gavin and Simon and today we had a brainstorm after our unit briefing to find out what we could make a news channel on. We really liked one of the examples of the work of previous students who's target audience was students. We found this something that we could relate to ourselves so would be something we would be passionate about and take an interest in. Our first idea was to base it on university courses where students are made to pay for their own materials rather than the universities providing it. It was also about students taking courses in nursing and how there has been a significant drop in people choosing such courses as a result of the rise in uni fees and having their funds cut (previously the government would fund those degrees). For a segment of each episode I though it would be a good idea to do something more light-hearted too. We want it to engage our target audience of students by keeping it humorous and interesting without ...
