INDIVIDUAL TASKS
Representation.
How is representation of gender or age constructed in an opening sequence in your genre? This should be a detailed analytical post of one opening sequence referring to stereotyping.
Sound
How is sound used in an opening sequence of your choice. Just focus on the use of diegetic and non-diegetic sound. This is useful research that can help you reflect on how best to deploy sound in your own sequence.
Audience feedback
Analyse and present audience feedback from the screening of your rough cut.
Reminder to complete your other INDIVIDUAL blog posts on
a) Production credits
b) Audience feedback analysis
c) Who would distribute your film?
d) Define distribution
e) Art of the title
GROUP posts:
d) progress and issues faced in post-production
e) progress in creating your own title sequence

This week
From your self-assessment exercise you know which areas you need to blog, here is a reminder.
You've all completed the AUDIENCE research so this week is the time to publish that blog.
4) PLANNING. Place storyboard and/or ANIMATIC on Group Blog.
Carry out a RISK ASSESSMENT for your next day's shoot.
5) RESEARCH - as Pete Fraser advised on his blog- make your research focused and relevant.
He writes "Research needs to cover film conventions- how is an opening established in terms of story, genre, location, character, camerawork?- but also institutions- which personnel, jobs and organisations are credited in those opening two minutes and in what order and why?- and the audience- all media texts are specifically targeted at particular audiences and you need to consider how this is done and who that audience is."

1) PRODUCTION CREDITS*- write a blog posting of the order that production credits tend to run.
2) ART OF THE TITLE SEQUENCE - How does the title sequence relate to the genre, how do they relate to the film's content and style? Embed some examples on your blog that particularly inspire you on your INDIVIDUAL blog and some on your GRP blog too. I showed you some credit analysis best practise from last year so now its your turn.
see this excellent resource
*You could use wikipedia to help you to work out what credits should be shown and in what order...
3) INSTITUTION -Who might distribute your film? - some info about companies and discussion around your choices. As noted in the lesson this question relates to your evaluation question.
