Further Group Work

Within our group each member has different strengths.

• Jamilla - had a really good idea to which we were all able to build up on.


• Adriana - had really good ideas we could add to the main idea.


• Mica - is a good artist, so drawing the story board was her strong point.


• (me) Victoria - had a good idea of the different kinds of sound to use (digetic/ non-digetic).

After talking about our ideas within our group we came to the decision that we would use Jamilla's idea of "Film Noir".

The main reason to which we came to this conclusion is that we realised with the help of our teacher that a "Film Noir" has not yet been done, so we thought it would be a good idea to try something new but to also challenge ourselves as filming a "Film Noir" could be difficult.

Group Work

On Tuesday the 10th of November, we got put into our groups.

my group members are:

1. (me) Victoria


2. Adriana


3. Jamilla


4. Mica

Each member of the group has different thoughts and ideas. What our group is trying to do is incorporate little parts from each our ideas to plan our one main idea.

We decided to use Jamilla's idea for her opening sequence as a foundation for us to begin to build up on it. After talking about it we each broke down what we could include in the opening sequence, so that we each have a part to play in creating our opening sequence to the main idea we came up with and we could each get a good mark within our group.

Presentation (2)

My second presentation was all about the films that influenced me and how they influenced me in creating my final idea. It also involved me talking about the idea i had chosen to make my opening sequence about and explaining it to the class, along with my storyboard. My storyboard was made up of images that i had put together to give the class an idea of what i wanted my opening sequence to look like.


The evaluation i got for my presentation was:

WWW:

• I had good range of inspirational films.
• I knew and pointed out potential filming problems.
• I had a good understanding of the conventions within a horror genre.
• I had a good balance between reading from the board and talking to the audience.

EBI:

• I could have focused more on actual scenes from the films i talked about, not just the posters.
• Storyboard was slightly confusing, should have added writing along the with pictures.
• I generalised the purpose of my opening sequence, needed to talk more specifically.
• The information on BBFC was not all correct.

As you can see from the above information, i had a lot of EBI's which resulted in me getting a very low grade of (E-).

Although i thought that the grade could have been a bit higher, i agree with the teacher, she knows what she is doing when it comes to marking my work.

However i am hoping to improve my presentation and showing it to her when she is available.
