Guide for the exam

1. Drawing Tasks for Superhero Exam
• Could be…
• Poster, which we’ve done in class. Remember to
include names of stars, title, BBFC age certificate,
web-site, social network symbols.
• Website – which we’ve done in class but I’ll add
another version at the end of this powerpoint
• Promotional Partners – the type of toys, products
etc that might be produced to promote a film
• A cover for a DVD or box set – use your poster
idea.

2. Storyboards for Superhero Movie
You might be asked to produce a set of
storyboards. This set is just an idea and at 12
pictures, I’ve probably made two too many.

3. • You may be asked to storyboard a trailer or a
short sequence.
• I doubt you’ll be asked to provide more than 12
images
If it’s a trailer, remember to have the production
company logo (you may be given the name) and
have one slide with the title of the film and its
website

4. Must Haves…
• A variety of camera distances. Make sure you have at
least two long shots, two close-ups and two medium
shots
• Edits
• Times – probably no more than three seconds; make
sure the times are quicker as the action gets more
exciting
• Music and sounds of action
• If you can’t colour them, indicate bright mise-en-scene
when it starts and everything seems okay and a dark
mise-en-scene when the bad guy is there
