Work to be completed between 22/11 and 29/11

1) Post your prelim video and provide a detailed evaluation of it -

The examboard specification state: Preliminary exercise: Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.

You must discuss the above mentioned elements. (If you haven't included them in your film, explain why.)

2) Scan or type in the notes you have made from our opening sequence presentations - the more research evidence you can provide for the examiner the better!

3) Post a list of generic codes and conventions for the genre you are interested in emulating. (Make sure you think technically - which specific aspects of mise-en-scene do you expect?)

4) Post a textual analysis of a film relevant to your genre - see link below to give you some ideas on what to write about:
