EXAM FEEDBACK - WHOLE CLASS

• Class Av = 65%

Strengths

• excellent range of examples
• revision evident
• sound use of technical terminology
• analysis is developing - everyone avoided the 'shopping list' essay.
• good links back to task. A few areas drifted off but overall, good.

Areas for improvement

• Occasional confusion of terms - eg jump cuts
• Editing and sound underdeveloped
• Analysis needs to be pushed more still - keep linking and comment on micro elements.
• Don't forget about composition eg depth of field, framing etc. Look over notes again.

REMEMBER!

• 'Analysis is contextual rather than universal in value' - eg red could suggest passion, but could suggest power, anger etc. All depends on what's happening on screen.
• Representation is all about how the makers/producers want these characters and situations to be perceived.
• Some are analysing areas separately, but if doing it all at the same time, you must be strict and ensure all areas are dealt with sufficiently.

EDITING AND SOUND FEEDBACK

Feedback for Editing parts 1 and 2 as well as Sound work is on everyone's blogs now (apologies for the hold up with editing). Feedback is either at very start or end of the specific section, depending on how your blog is designed.

General whole class feedback:

STRENGTHS

• Overall quality definitely on the up.
• Great definitions
• Some excellent examples (even of the tricky ones)
• More students now beginning to analyse the specific clip and comment on effect/impact on audience.

AREAS TO WORK ON

• A handful of people still submitting incomplete work with no reason given on or after deadline (I will speak individually to these students)
• Analysis still needs developing - eg commenting that in this clip, the use of fade allows 1 person to gradually disappear and another appear is correct, but doesn't go so far as to say why this technique has been used.
• Make sure your definitions make sense to YOU. I know all definitions have, understandably so, been taken from the internet, but where possible, avoid copying and pasting everything word for word - this could cause problems come revision time.

Any problems or queries with your feedback, please ask for help to avoid any confusion.

Miss Hunter

MISE EN SCENE

From the French 'putting on a play'.

It's all about production value!

Produce definitions/examples/analysis for the following: (a few obvious ones will be definition only)

• Production Design

* Location

* Studio

*Set design

*Costume and make up

*Properties

• Lighting

* Colour design

EDITING AND SOUND ANALYSIS

TASK

In groups, watch the 'Hotel Babylon' clip from last week again.

Viewing 1: note down any sounds you hear AND the type of sound technique used (technical terms please)

Viewing 2: look at editing decisions during those clips noted above - what ones are used (technical terms please).

As a group, discuss if you can you draw any parallels/links?

*The key here is to think - why this sound with this editing/why this editing with this sound?

**Approx 4 sufficiently analytical points will be fine.

QUICK RECAP - MISS HUNTER'S LESSONS

What has been covered?

• Camera shot types/movement/composition (1)
• definitions, examples and brief analysis (individual and group)

• Editing (2)
• definitions, examples and brief analysis (individual and group)

• Sound (3)
• - definitions, examples and brief analysis.

Where next?

• Sound and editing analysis combined
• Mise en scene (4) - definitions, examples and brief analysis.

Then...

Knowledge of all 4 areas will be combined by completing past paper questions on the following topics:

• Gender representation (October Continuous Assessment - 2 lessons)
• Ethnicity representation
• Age representation
• Class/social status representation
• Regional identity representation
• Sexuality representation
• Ability/disability representation

Before each task is set:

• We will discuss the specific topic and any issues surrounding it.
• I will put a sample essay answer onto the teacher blog (obviously analysing a different clip than you will be completing your essay on!) so you can see how to structure it, what level of analysis is required etc.

Remember: The exam is worth 50% of your AS .

MUSIC INDUSTRY

Hi all,

I came across this website which has some interesting articles on various issues and developments in the music industry of late. musicindustryreport.org. Isn't all relevant but there might be the odd piece which could be of use to you.

NB REMEMBER! SOUND WORK DUE WEDNESDAY.
