WELCOME, MODERATOR

Welcome moderator! I am George Cluney 1234 and I worked with Cameron Diaz 4321 and Tom Cruise 0007.

I hope you enjoy my blog, which contains my work on my G321 Foundation Portfolio. We chose the video brief, a short film together with storyboard and titles,  which I named My Short Film.
My seven evaluation questions are also above.

7 WHAT I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT FILM MAKING

Complete this evaluation question over the weekend.

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

• research the genre, specific genre codes
• suspense, enigma, tension, thrill: function of film opening to hook audience, not reveal all
• realism, props, costumes, setting, lighting
• the role of visual codes
• tripod, bubbling the tripod; hand-held
• ellipsis in narrative; motivated edits
• Key characters should be prominent in the first and last shots in a sequence to signal their importance.
• camera angles serve different specific functions
• continuity editing 
• function of sound: did you have any trouble with sound recording? What mistakes did you make / what did you learn?
• 180 degree rule
• titles
• organization of cast, equipment; planning tools like shot lists and call sheets
• you went to the BFI study day on UK Cinema: Audiences and Institutions. Did anything there help you to think about your film making?
