Feedback - Miss Spencer

This piece of analysis is competent and at times fairly sophisticated Kieran. You have clearly discussed the meanings within the opening through the use of sound, Mise en Scene, camera movement, angles and framing.

This work is a level 2 (but very close to a level 3) In order to improve you should:

Improve your grammar, spelling and punctuation, you are marked on this so read through your work - proper nouns have capital letters (e.g. Tom, Mission Impossible etc. ) Some words have letters missing (use spellcheck)Divide your paragraphs up - make it interesting to read in smaller chunks (it's not an essay)

Fix your title - make it simple e.g. "Research into other products - Thriller"

You should import many more screen shots, and make sure they are placed in the text at points that are relevent to your discussion (this can help divide your work

All images must be Jpeg's (it is best to do these at home as the school firewall doesn't like blogger much and can make it difficult) If you can't do this at home, then talk to me and I can log you in under my username to get images uploaded.

Also discuss editing please!

Here is some advice that will help you ensure you cover all of the areas:
 
Study the opening sequences of any film from the Thriller, Horror, and Romantic comedy genre. E.g. Seven, The Dark Knight Rises, Halloween, Notting Hill, Love Actually etc. Analyse how the sequence has been constructed through its use of: Camera angles, shots, movement, Editing, Sound, Special effects and Mise-en-scene etc.

· In terms of editing how have the separate images been put together - Think in terms of frequency of cuts, fades in/out, jump cuts, dissolves etc.

• What visual images appear on screen throughout the sequence? And what do they mean?
• · Describe what narrative (story) is being displayed in the sequence from start to finish.
• · Describe what kind of music; diegetic/non-diegetic/incidental/ambient etc. is being played over the sequence.
• · How and what titles are being displayed during the sequence and in what order.
• · What kind of characterisation is evident? - Age, gender, relationships etc.
