Mark scheme

There are three sections we will be marked on as a group, these are video, Evaluation and Research & Planning, it is important to look at the mark scheme for each of these so we can be aware of what we should be doing and to what extent. Words like "excellence" and "accurate"help us to realize how much work and effort we need to put in to create something of such excellence.








Evaluation







Research & Planing





Video

Research

Over the previous weeks me and my group have been researching thrillers, and other significant information that will help us to plan and create the title sequence to our own film. I will be blogging all of the research we have done as a group over the next couple of days. We have made a plan for our research to make it easier to complete, as can be seen below, the work will be ticked off once we have completed it, to help us understand what we have left to complete. 

Editing

How is there a relationship between different types of editing and representation?
- Different types of editing can represent things in different ways.

Reverse shot -
A reverse shot is one character being shown to talk back to another unseen character. It shows the other persons reactions to their words, and emphasizes that theyre on different sides.

Cut away shot -
A cut away shot is when the scene the scene cuts to another different scene. This is usually followed by it then cutting back to the original scene.

Cut in shot -
Like a cut away, but focuses on some part of the scene in detail before cutting.

Eye line match -
When the shot cuts to the view of what the character would be seeing.

Action match -
Where it cuts to a scene where the same thing is happening.

Selective exposure/ perception

 

 From this Article, i learnt about selective perception, and the idea that our brain selects what information we remember, based on what is relevant to us as people, without us being in acknowledgement of it. I think that this theory is quite realistic, in that it means we take everything in and then sort out what information is relevant to us, and what relates to the beliefs we already share, giving everyone their own different views and opinions, making us all individuals, instead of just perceptions of the media.

Sound - key words

Parallel sound - Music that matches what you see in the film.

Contrapuntal sound - sound that opposes what you see in the film.

Sound bridge - when the music from one scene goes into the next.

Ambient sound - sound that you expect to hear in a location. For example, traffic.

Foley sound - everyday sounds that are added to a certain clip.

The Hayes Code

The Hayes code was created in the 1920's by Hollywood and is a way of censoring media texts.

This was created because people believed that if certain behaviour was conveyed on screen, passive

mass audiences would imitate this behaviour, and so therefore it should not be shown on screen as it

was felt people should not act this way in real life.

Things that the Hayes code stopped from being shown where:

• White slavery
• scenes of actual childbirth
• using words such as Christ,Lord and God in a rude way.
• Misuse of the American flag
• Ridicule of the clergy
• Showing leg above the knee.

The Uses and gratifications theory

The uses and gratifications theory suggests that audiences watch media texts because...

• Personal identity - the media has created the way we dress, our views, and our personalities
• Surveillance - we watch the media to see what is going on in the world.
• pleasure
• diversion/escapism
• we watch the media to gain information about social/cultural/global issues.
• and to understand emotions.
