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.

This is the film research task that was set to us to do over the holiday.
