STATEMENT OF INTENT

I chose Get More Vits as a product for my healthy drink advert as it is very simple, it doesn't have much in it that may cause the audience to have problems with it, such as allergies. The original slogan that I will be using is "Be fit, Don't quit, Get More Vits" where I'll be using the characters voice as a voiceover.  As for my first narrative, I chose a narrative where the equilibrium of a teenage girl starts  her day by going out and run at the park. At the start of her jog she's energetic and by the end of her lap she gets more exhausted, where this is the disequilibrium. The shot that I'll be using is long shot to emphasise her doing the sport. Then she drinks the healthy drink  by using a medium shot to show a focused clip of the character with the drink. This helps her to get back her energy as the new equilibrium. Her costume is where she wears a sports wear with her hair tied up. For my second narrative,  I chose a narrative where a teenage girl

PRELIMINARY EXERCISE FEEDBACK AND LEARNER RESPONSE

    Create a new blogpost called ‘Preliminary exercise feedback and learner response’ and then copy in the feedback below. Complete the learner response task below the feedback.   WWW: Planning posted, and a 40-second preliminary exercise posted by the deadline – well done! Your statement of intent is detailed and fits the brief for the preliminary exercise. You have included a range of camera shots, angles, and movement such as a pack shot of the health drink. You’ve also included an example of diegetic sound through your advert slogan. Now you need to use this experience and your detailed planning to deliver two excellent 40+ second adverts that meet the brief.   EBI: There are a few moments when you could have cut the shot as you begin talking mid-shot. Some of the shots towards the beginning feel quite long and perhaps do not fit the brief of an advert (consider your target audience). You also need to include some non-diegetic sound to meet all brief requirements. It is unclear tha

COURSEWORK PRELIMINARY EXERCISE

  1) Write a 100 word statement of intent explaining what you are going to make for your preliminary exercise. -I plan to make a 30-40 seconds advert about a teenage girl that is doing an excercise where she runs around the park. At the beginning of the advert shows how she prepares for her run. Where there are sounds of her unzipping her bag, taking out a hair tie then tying her hair. She then takes out the drink and put it beside her bag before running. This part is where there is a low sound with a negative tone. The camera shot at the part is a medium shot as she does her work. By the start of her run she have more energy and as she gets by the end of her lap she gets tired and vulnerable. This part is where she drinks a healthy drink which makes her feel more motivated and after she drinks this she gets more energised. As she runs the shot is establishing shot and as the character runs closer the camera follows her movement. In this video her custome is her wearing a sports top an

END OF YEAR 1 EXAM: LEARNER RESPONSE

  1) Type up any feedback from your teacher in full (you do not need to write mark/grade if you do not wish to). -WW - A strong, detailed exam - well done! -EBI - Question focus is the key exam technique to work on. 2) Look at the mark scheme document linked above. Question 1.1 asks about mise-en-scene. What do we use to remember mise-en-scene? Give one example answer from the mark scheme too. -CLAMPS  -Costume -Lighting -Actions/Actors -Make-up -Props -Setting -Setting: conveys that the city is abandoned, that something bad happened there. 3) Question 1.2 asks about narrative features in the extract. Look at the mark scheme to pick out  three  possible answers for this question.  -Location: the empty city creates its own enigma code with the mystery of what has happened to the city and the people that lived there. This is partially resolved later in the extract. -Narrative theory: Propp – character types. Lyra and Will as heroes who the audience can identify with and accompany on thei
