Assignment 3 planning of sweded trailer
The document provides guidance for students planning their Sweded trailer assignment. It outlines the key elements they must include in their planning: a storyboard, script, props, costumes, actors, and locations. Students must choose whether to collaborate together on all aspects or divide tasks among group members. Templates and examples are provided for the storyboard and script. Criteria for assessing the quality of each element at different levels are also included.
Notes & paragraphs
The document provides guidance on how to take effective notes and write paragraphs for the AS media exam. It recommends two note-taking options - structuring notes by the beginning, middle and end of a clip, or noting each key term and the related evidence. For paragraphs, it outlines the PEAL structure - having a Point, Evidence, Analysis, and Link for each paragraph. It emphasizes using analytical verbs for analysis and comparing representations where possible to achieve higher marks.
Creating trailers
The document provides guidance on creating movie trailers. It discusses the history and purpose of trailers, noting that they were originally shown after films but were moved to before films as people would leave. It describes the components of trailers, including using a three act structure, quick cuts of exciting moments, and leaving the resolution unknown. The document also provides tips on voiceovers, text, music, and fonts to match the genre. It recommends including website and social media links at the end.
Media notes 17 9-17
The document provides guidance on analysing media representations using technical terminology. It outlines success criteria for learners to analyze how camerawork, mise-en-scene, editing, and sound work together to create meaning. Learners should offer a holistic analysis of a sequence or product, providing accurate examples of how technical elements convey meaning. For instance, analyzing how a news program's neutral camera angles and shots, blue color scheme, and calm voice work together to establish an impartial tone.
Conventions micro and macro
This document defines and discusses the concept of mise-en-scene in film analysis. Mise-en-scene refers to everything that appears within the frame of a shot, including lighting, props, costumes, character performances, and sets. It can help viewers understand different elements of a film, such as the time period through costumes, emotions through lighting, genre through props, and story through sets. Micro analysis of mise-en-scene elements can support larger macro themes in a film, such as representations of characters.
storyboard
This document provides guidance on creating a storyboard for a video production. It defines a storyboard as a sequence of drawings representing the planned shots for a movie or television production. Storyboards are created during pre-production planning and are used by the director, cinematographer, camera operators, and lighting technicians on set to plan shots and ensure continuity. The document instructs on including relevant information in each storyboard panel like the frame, camera movements, shot numbering, descriptions of the action, and continuity indicators. It emphasizes that storyboards are a necessary visual aid used by the film crew to plan shots and lighting.
Media 19 10-17
The document discusses various techniques used in analyzing media, including camera shots, angles, movement, and composition; editing techniques; mise-en-scène elements like setting, props, costumes, makeup, movement, and visual effects; and sound elements like diegetic and non-diegetic sound, sound effects, soundtracks, and dialogue. It provides examples of different shot types, angles, movements, editing transitions, mise-en-scène components, and sound elements. It also outlines success criteria for analyzing how these technical elements work together to create meaning in a film sequence or product.
Media 24 09-17
This document discusses media representation and stereotypes. It provides definitions for key terms like archetype, countertype, and stereotypes. It explains that media uses stereotypes as a visual shortcut for audiences to instantly understand groups. However, stereotypes can be derogatory and limit understanding, potentially leading to prejudice. The document also discusses continuity techniques for moving images, including match on action, shot reverse shot, and the 180-degree rule. Maintaining continuity is important for the audience to feel immersed in what they are watching.

Representation 3 how things are represented
This document discusses how media language is used to represent people, places, and objects. It outlines the four categories of media language: 1) camera shots, angles, movement, and composition/framing; 2) mise-en-scene; 3) sound; and 4) editing. Students are given a homework assignment to complete an A3 sheet analyzing representation and stereotypes using these media language terms. Their work will be evaluated on correctly identifying stereotypes, using appropriate media language terms, explaining how stereotypes are represented through these terms, and demonstrating understanding of why stereotypes are used.
Storyboards guidance
1) The document provides guidance on creating an effective storyboard, including drawing each shot, labeling technical details, and planning camera movements, sounds, editing, and more.
2) An effective storyboard is a detailed, shot-by-shot plan that clearly conveys visual design and technical production details for a scene. It should include information like shot duration, camera shots, movement, sounds, and editing.
3) The document emphasizes that storyboards are technical pre-production tools rather than artistic works - they just need to clearly demonstrate design ideas through simple sketches and annotations.

film language - editing
Editing transforms individual shots or photographs into a cohesive narrative by establishing relationships between shots and manipulating aspects like time, space, rhythm, and meaning. A famous early experiment by Russian filmmaker Lev Kuleshov demonstrated how editing can influence audience interpretation by juxtaposing an actor's expression with different contextual shots. Effective editing uses techniques like matching shots through graphics, movement, or action to ease audience understanding across transitions while discontinuities can also be employed purposefully.

Film Language: Camera angles and shot size introduction for Film Studies. Als...
A long PDF that has been used to introduce GCSE Film Students to the complicated process of identifying and explaining the use of camera shot sizes and angles. This is a fairly detailed series of slides which I have used in school for a couple of classes now. As it is a PDF the clips do not play but where possible I've labelled what the film is. Similarly, as it was designed to be used in lessons the overall 'structure' is somewhat disjointed and is missing slides that includes answers or ideas that were discussed in lessons. In order to help where possible, I've included large versions of worksheets so that these can be clipped and printed out if necessary. Many thanks for taking a look and please feel free to take a look at my other uploads as you will find plenty there on other aspects of Film Studies.
