Production Log 1

What have you learnt this week from looking at the mark scheme and peer assessing previous work?
This week I watched past candidates opening sequences and looking at the mark scheme I gave it a mark I thought that they would get. I wrote strengths and weaknesses about their work and then our teacher told us what they actually got. I gave some people a few too many marks and some I gave less, which showed that I didn't actually have a clear idea in what a good opening sequence is and what a bad one is. From this I found that there are loads of different ways that you can get marks and lose marks and noticed that it isn't going to be as easy as what I thought it would be.

How will this inform your production?
From the table that I done I can see all of the strengths and weaknesses so that when I go to do mine I will be able to see the mistakes that they made to make sure I don't make the same mistakes they did. The reason for this is because, I don't want a bad mark and I want to be happy with what my final outcome is. I don't want there to be any bad shots, bad editing or anything that looks like it has just jumped from one thing to another. I want it to run as smooth as possible, without giving away too much of the storyline and what is going to happen in the film. I want to create enigma, as the past candidates that done this, had a better affect than the ones that showed what the themes they were doing and involved them too much straight away. These candidates also got a better mark overall, so I think that I will use this affect.

What will you try to emulate/avoid?
I will avoid bad editing and I will copy positives, such as good shots. The reason for this is because the opening sequences with bad editing looked terrible and I don't want mine to look like that at all. From previous students work this week I have seen people with bad match on action, which lost many marks. I will make sure that my editing is perfect and that nothing goes wrong. Many people done well in their work, but some of them weren't as good as they just didn't come to the conventions of an opening sequence, and some weren't shown as clear that they were BSR films. This will make me aware of what to do and what not to do and I will make sure I stick to doing what all the positives of peoples work were. This will make me do well in my production.
