New Inspirational Scenes from Films (Assignment 16)

Inspirational scenes from films
View more presentations from Nonina10.

This Presentation was uploaded using SlideShare

inspirational scenes, Teacher Assessment


I learned that in this presentation about our Inspirational scenes on movies are really important, because it gave me ideas about what can our film be about and also in the opening scenes too. Also, it is very important to say clearly what the chosen scene is and to add images to show why it is inspiring.

However, my targets is to include all tasks, like, music, lighting, props, clip, and to say why it is inspiring in my point of view.

Film Watching- 4.3.2.1

Today in our Media Class I watched '4.3.2.1'. So far on what I have watched it is about four girls that have different situations at the same time and date. On what I've seen two of the girls was shown having bad situations after all of them left each other, as on of them (Shannon) became depressed, because she gets beaten up, chased by police, nearly killed, and Cassandra left London, got her virginity taken from her, all her things and shopping are stolen, and found out that she have a stalker that is obssessed with her.

From this film I learned that there are different characterisations between the four characters, as four of them have different life situations and different representation of the characters in the film. Also, the way they show the narrative structure of all the characters, for example, when a character finish her story the screen is cut and started a new scene where the same scene when the girls are saying goodbyes and the next girl's story is shown and also the time.

From the film I was inspired by the way they show different characterisation of the characters and the narrative structure of the story. This is because they show the different situations that the 4 girls are going through at the same time.

Finding AS Video Task

In this task I had to look for 3 recent AS Media Opening Tasks (effective) in YouTube and analyse them from the mark scheme, because we thought that it is easier for us to do 3 each and just come together and pick which one is much more effective. I learned that just watching this videos and analysing them I thought that an opening sequence can be a little clue of what the whole film will be about and that will make the audiences' want to watch it more.

Short Blog about what I did this week

What I did this week:



  • This week I was finishing off all of the work that was set in the summer holidays and the final opening sequence presentation with my group. 
  • We get to film our preliminary task which I think is very tiring, because I had to move the camera and the tripod every time Carolle moves.
  • We get to present our final opening sequence ideas as a group including the music,props, actors, location, research, inspirational films, scripts, storyboard, shot lists. I leant that in this presentation we had to have appropriate soundtrack for the first scene on our opening sequence, to start the presentation of what your genre and theme is about and why did the inspirational films inspire you and what did you get out of it?
What did I learn:

  • I learnt that you had to have an appropriate soundtrack on your scenes to match the actions.
  • When showing an inspirational film, need to show why you get inspired by it and what ideas did you get from it.
  • Also, learnt about continuity and how the film needs to look smooth while it is playing, even though its edited. The prop needs to be in the right place and the actor's place and actions should be in right order.
What needs to be improved:

  • To improve the ideas for our opening sequence.
  • The structure and layout of the presentation should be in order and not to be all over the place.
  • To use a variety of films and stills and show why you like it and how by labelling them.

Match on Action (Assignment 13)




In this video of an editing technique, I learnt that this is a good editing technique that shows different camera shots/angle of a position that was carried.

Continuity in Movie making (Assignment 13)





I learnt that continuity is very important in movie making. If making a movie you have to have to have the correct weather, time, props, position of actors, script, etc. as if it is not correct the whole movie would not make sense.

180 degree rule (Assignment 13)




This video gives information of how this kind of movie technique is done. I learnt that if using this technique you have to follow the guideline of where the camera can move and is not allowed to move it pass the lines.

Final Opening Sequence Draft 1 (Assignment 12)



Opening Sequence Ideas draft 1- Teacher Assessment





This Teacher Assessment is for our Final Opening Sequence Idea as a group.

I think in this Presentation is good on the some of the requirements needed for the whole presentation, and the script, storyboard, shot lists, inspirational ideas are done. Also the Inspirational films are good as we show different kinds of films but may be better if we put more details of why it is inspiring for us and what kind of ideas are inspired on our idea. Plus, to be better is to meet all of the missing slides, such as the research, genre and theme, location, props, etc

Our Chosen Genre Research (Assignment 11)


In this Power Point Presentation is my research for our chosen genre (Drama) and this work consists of the definition of the genre Drama and its Sub-genres and also their definition as well. Also, I thought that adding a movie as an example for each sub-genres can be quite useful as it can give the reader a hint of what kind of genre it is by knowing the film mentioned in the work.

5 Films Research Task (Assignment 10)


This is the film research task that was set to us to do over the holiday.
In this presentation have the same layout as the film partners research that was done before and this have the slides of how did it influence me with my opening sequence and how did it meet the conventions for each of the films which are on the same genre as our chosen genre for our filming.
