This is our final cut of our first project. We feel this piece was very successful even though this was our first attempt of using the equipment and resources.

    Keri, this is really good. You have used a decent sample size and have some interesting responses. There are some great uses of on screen titles and cuts between shots/interviewees. Perhaps next time we can intercut between these interviewees ( a bit like the TV show First Dates does with the dates) so that we don't spend so long with each response in a row.

    Can you add something about the responses. Did you get the responses you thought you would? What do YOU as a filming team think about the people you interviewed, would you ask the same demographics again? What would be your response if asked this question?

rough cut

Before completing my finial film, i created a rough cut. This allowed me to experiment with ideas, trail out ideas and also try different techniques with editing and camera angles. In my rough cut i used the same settings as i wanted to in my finial piece, however used different actors. For my finial cut i want to use my Nan and Grandad as the two actors, however as they live in London i needed to experiment before they came down to film. This led me to using my friend and mum in my rough cut footage.   When filming the rough cut i used the poem i had found over the top of the footage to see how this could work in the real film. I felt this was extremely successful. I felt i really benefitted from completing a rough cut as it allowed e to review and refine my ideas.

E.T The Extra Terrestrial

After 1977's Close Encounters (see no 11), director Steven Spielberg reversed the alien encounter formula to wonder not what we would make of them but what they would make of us. The result was this 1982 blockbuster, which eclipsed even the original Star Wars and received nine Oscar nominations (winning four) – a feat unheard of for a film with such overt sci-fi content. Despite its genre trappings, ET balanced its fantasy content with an academy-pleasing dose of sentiment, played out in the home life of Elliott (Henry Thomas), a lonely 10- year-old whose parents are separating. Little time is spent revealing where the film's ET has come from, or how he came to be left behind. Instead, Spielberg focuses on the film's unlikely-buddy story; the middle child of three (Drew Barrymore is the sweet but clingy younger sister, Robert MacNaughton the cynical teenage big brother), Elliott takes in the ET as the friend and confidant he doesn't have. Largely filmed from an a...

Task 2- The Gold Rush

The Gold Rush (1925) Take 3 scenes from 'The Gold Rush' (1925) and analyse the micro elements of film form, identifying how these elements construct meaning. M icro-elements of film   EXTRA   Cinematography and Special Effects (throughout)   Special Effects add on to the comedic performances. Practical effects, like the choice of having smoke steam out the shoe in minute 17:00, enhance the already funny scene. Other effects are more cinematographic and have to do with the choice of lenses and angles. A POV shot of Chaplin as a chicken from delirious Big Jim’s perspective (21:00) shows how hunger is really pushing Big Jim’s view of reality to a surreal and funny world by imagining his companion as a chicken he would like to eat.   The story follows the Tramp as he goes off to seek his fortune in the Alaskan gold fields, along with prospectors both good and greedy with whom he falls in and falls out...
