Coursework feedback


Research and Planning – 8
Research and planning is partially incomplete, however there is proficient research into similar products. This is let down by no research into potential target audiences. There is virtually no organisation of actors/locations etc, but there is a risk assessment and some excellent research into conventions of the genre. There is a film pitch which is proficient, but no storyboard or script. There is clearly some good work here, but it is limited.
Main Task – 35
Many technical skills are shown, but generally at a basic level. The film is appropriate for the task on the whole, but elements like the continuous music at the start to make it feel a little like a trailer. Although the shots are well framed and there is some use of camera movement like pans, there is little variety in camera shots, and many shots go on for a long time on a wide, meaning that it looks dull and lacks the depth of a film with sophisticated sequences built up. The narrative is clear through the use of camera/editing, but again it skims over the plot. There are times when the continuity doesn’t work, and a few sound issues with dialogue being cut off when run under different shots. There is good use of shot – reverse shot and a good use of after effects to create a ‘CCTV’ feel.
