Preliminary exercise learner response

 The preliminary exercise is a brilliant opportunity to learn the basics of filmmaking before creating your actual coursework project.

After the screening of the preliminary exercises in class, you need to create a blogpost called 'Preliminary exercise learner response' and complete the following tasks as your feedback and learner response:

1) Type up your teacher's feedback in full plus a summary of the comments you received from other students in the class. If you've received your feedback via email, you can simply cut and paste it from the email into your blog. 

Jessica,

Feedback for your preliminary exercise:

This is an excellent piece of filmmaking – some really nice moments (“Don’t look back he has a gun” is a great way to communicate that without needing to use a weapon prop in public)

Some nice shots and edits. I really like the angles at the end to show the attack and impact of this.

Was there some audio of laughing in the background? That would be one to check carefully for your real coursework as that would definitely hold the mark in the lower levels.

In terms of genre, I’m not sure there are many conventions of the fantasy genre here so you’ll need to consider that for the Statement of Intent and the full coursework.

2) Using a combination of your own reflection on the preliminary exercise and the feedback you were given, write three WWW bullet points (What Went Well) and three EBI bullet points (Even Better If) for your preliminary exercise. 

3) What have you learned from the preliminary exercise that will help you in the actual coursework project? List three things you have learned or will do differently as a result of this exercise. You may want to comment on organisation, actors, filming, editing or something else entirely but be specific.

PLAN AHEAD. MAKE DATES,STICK TO THEM. will literally make a group calendar for specific scenes and plan it to the second.

leave a couple of seconds before and at the end of each scene, makes cuts smoother.

180 rule.
