AS to A2 Transition: Media filming preliminary task
This document outlines a film continuity exercise for students to familiarize themselves with basic filming and editing techniques. Students will work in groups of 3-4 to film and edit a scene where one character opens a door, crosses a room, sits in a chair, and exchanges a couple lines of dialogue with another character. The task aims to demonstrate techniques like match on action, shot/reverse shot editing, and following the 180-degree rule. A 3 step process is provided: 1) create a storyboard, 2) write brief dialogue, 3) film the scene.
Editing transitions
This document discusses various editing techniques used in filmmaking, including cuts, dissolves, jump cuts, match cuts, parallel editing, match on action, montages, and wipes. It provides definitions and examples of each technique. It also discusses how to analyze editing techniques for an editing analysis essay, including defining techniques, explaining examples, and assessing why editors use certain techniques and their effects on the audience.
The 180 Degree Rule
The 180 degree rule states that the camera must remain on the same side of an imaginary line drawn perpendicular to the viewpoint established in the establishing shot. Breaking this rule will confuse audiences as it shifts characters' eye lines and sense of orientation. The only acceptable reason to break the rule is for a specific creative effect. Maintaining the rule ensures continuity and that the audience can follow what is happening on screen.
Evaluation Question 3
This document contains the results of a survey about a movie trailer. Respondents provided feedback on their age, gender, whether they enjoyed the trailer, what elements stuck out to them both positively and negatively, and any changes they would make to improve the trailer. Key elements that respondents liked included the cinematography, editing, use of chains in the title, and characters. One element some disliked was the action of a character in a wardrobe.
Evaluation Question 2
This document discusses evaluating the effectiveness of combining a main product with additional tasks or services. It mentions podcasts, slidecasts, magazines, fonts, imagery, titles, capitalization, and references a podcast with Sophie Howard. It thanks the viewer or listener for their time.
Media Coursework Evaluation Questionnaire
The document is a media coursework evaluation questionnaire that asks respondents for feedback on a trailer for a film. It requests the respondent's age and gender and then asks a series of questions to gauge whether the respondent enjoyed the trailer, what stood out to them, if they would be interested in seeing the full film, what they liked and disliked about the trailer, if they would recommend any changes, and to rate the trailer out of 5.
Poster Evaluation
The document summarizes the results of a survey evaluating a movie poster. 17 out of 20 respondents thought the poster looked authentic. While not perfect, most thought the eyes stood out as intended. Many suggested adding more color but not removing anything. The overall rating for the poster was 4 out of 5 stars.
Magazine Evaluation
The document summarizes the results of a magazine cover evaluation conducted by distributing questionnaires to classmates and others. Key findings from the questionnaires include:
- Most respondents were female, matching the intended target audience
- Over 75% thought the colors worked well
- About a third didn't think the cover seemed authentic enough
- Suggested changes included making the bar code and some text smaller and rearranging the "extra" section

The Music!
The document discusses the music choices for a coursework project. It explores finding eerie music for the opening, an upbeat song from "The Final Destination" for the main part after research. Permission was granted from Varese Sarabande Records to use part of the song after communicating with the vice president. The music was then edited to meet expectations, incorporating additional sounds and music from a previous project.
Storyboard!
This storyboard document outlines 25 scenes for a project broken into 6 sections of 4 scenes each with the final scene alone. The storyboard provides a paper proof of the planned scenes in a sequential order.
More Planning
The document discusses shot types and camera angles for a short teaser trailer. It notes that while many shot types are desirable, the short length makes some too complex to include. Tracking shots, mid shots, and close ups will feature instead of focus pulls. Camera angles will mainly use canted angles to induce confusion and high angles on a girl to portray her as small and powerless, with the option to switch to lower angles later. Experimentation during filming may substitute handheld shots or allow one focus pull.
Movieposter Plan!
The document provides design guidelines for a movie poster. It specifies that the title should be on two lines and in the style of Twilight posters. The background color should be very dark like black or dark grey. The central image will be from a higher angle and pale with selective color used. The title, font, and captions will match other promotional pieces and may include the June 2010 release date. Credits for the film company and copyright information will also be included.
Planning
The document outlines the filmmaker's plans for managing time and planning locations, characters, and shooting scripts for their short film trailer. They have created schedules estimating scene lengths and filming days. Scenes will be filmed on different days depending on location efficiency. Characters will be portrayed realistically rather than through stereotypes to better connect with the audience. The main character Lucy will wear plain, child-like clothing to appear ghostly and creepy as the mysterious, immortal girl in the story.
My Movie Poster Research
The document discusses different types of movie posters and design elements that could be used for a coursework poster project. Older posters tended to include more information like actor names and company credits, while newer posters focus on just the basics of title, tagline, and release date. Effective poster design draws attention through strong central images, complementary colors, and conveying the genre or mood. Quotes from the film and selective coloring can also engage audiences. The author plans to incorporate elements of both older and newer poster styles for their teaser poster, including some additional information but keeping the focus on attracting and advertising through memorable visuals and insights into the film.
Filming Days, shooting script
This document outlines Chris Dunn's filming schedule for two days, including the locations and scene numbers planned at each location. Day 1 will film scenes at the director's house, Nicole's house, and Outgang Lane. Day 2 moves to Grace's house, the alley outside her house, and the woods, as well as scheduling some optional pickup shots.
Estimated Time Sheet
The document provides an estimated time sheet for 25 scenes of a project, with scene lengths ranging from 0.3 seconds to 10 seconds. The total estimated time for all 25 scenes is 1 minute and 48 seconds.
Poem Etc
A poem describes a young girl being physically and sexually abused by a man. The girl is just six years old. The man laughs as he hurts the girl, tugging her hair, grabbing her arm, kicking and punching her. He chains her to a kitchen chair and causes her sudden pain, burning evidence so his actions remain unseen. The girl receives the same treatment from her mother.
Primary Research
- The document summarizes primary research conducted through an online and paper questionnaire distributed to 16-21 year olds about a horror/thriller film synopsis and concept.
- The results showed that most respondents were aged 16-17 and enjoyed horror films, found the synopsis interesting, and wanted to see a full film without excessive gore.
- Respondents provided feedback on improvements like adding more mystery, stronger characters, and history for a letter mentioned in the synopsis.
