Group Video To help with Revision

Most Screen Space

Pace
Match on Action
Continuity
We done this task so that it would help us to remember some things about media and this would then help us when filming and in the exam. We can then look back on these and remember what each movement meant.

Update - What I Have Been Doing in Groups

The past few weeks I have been doing group work. Tom and myself have created a blog so that we can revise and take notes, then put them on the blog for both of us to see. This will then be helpful because we can revise from this and help each other with twice as much note taking being posted on the blog.

The group work with Nicole, Alex and myself, we have been doing the tasks needed to be done. 
So far we have done the final film brainstorm, the individual pitches, group pitch. We then gave each other tasks to do to get it done quicker, so I done the influences for the final film idea. Alex done the production company logo, and Nicole done the audience expectations vox pops. By doing this we damaged to get the tasks done quicker. Alex and myself done a rough draft of the scene walk through and now we are almost finished with the neater and correct version. We have filmed the parity remake, however we need to edit it now.

The media class went on a trip to London and had the privilege of meeting some important people in the film industry, such as the director from 'Attack the Block' and a film animator, who done work with big films such as The Kings Speech. Out of our group Alex and myself went on the trip, we made some notes and this helped us be inspired and pick up some tips for our film idea and opening film. Alex and myself decided to stay longer in London and collect some setting pictures for media, that way we would be ahead, gaining an idea of where we can shoot the scenes.

My Idea For a Psychological Thriller


  • Title: Mexico City
  • Characters: Bad people, Man and his wife, Police (The chief, and his workers)
  • Sub-Genre: Crime/Action Thriller (This is because it is involving the police)
  • Target Audience: 18-25 year olds
  • Enigma Code: Why are they taking the couple, what for?
  • Setting: Mexico City
  • Plot: A couple go away for there honeymoon and they get kidnapped and taken away from each other. They then take him away and threaten to kill him and his wife if he doesn't do what they want him to do. Meanwhile, the police are setting out an investigation to find the missing couple, and why they have been taken. The man taken then does the tasks that are set out for him, such as drug dealing etc. This then causes more suspicion with the police and instead of the dodgy men getting done for it, the man with a wife does.
  • Appeal to the audience: It creates suspense becuase they are in trouble and the audience will be tense at the idea that they may not get out of the situation.
