Reflective Analysis (1)
This week I have learnt how my blog is important for my planning and the work I post on here, must be of a high standard if I am going to achieve in this unit. I must embrace the idea of experimenting with different mediums which I believe I am beginning to grasp. We learned that there are a range of programs that we could use to make our blogs more attractive and interactive examples were Prezi, Posterous and we were also shown websites we could view a range of opening sequences for inspiration.I have also learnt how significant the production is and is worth the most marks and in order to gain top marks I must be creative, manage my time well and conduct a lot of research. From looking at past students work I have learnt that there is huge workload however if you are organised, committed and do not let yourself become complacent it can easily be accomplished. I have learned from the previous students that the research and planning you do will have a huge impact on the final product. In the lesson we came up with a couple of tips that target all aspects of the unit be it Planning, Production or blogging.
- Make your blog about yourself, convey your personality.
- Make it relevant to your film.
- Do a lot of research and planning.
- Make it detailed.
- Make you blog interactive.
- Time management is key.
- A combination of images, texts and videos is the key to good blogging.
- Use of examples to explain points.
All this has made me realize that there is no point coming up with all of these extravagant ideas because in actual fact I will only have two minutes, it has made me think more realistic as to what is possible. watching different opening sequences has been very inspirational as I am able to generate ideas from these and example would be 'Trainspotting'. We learnt about the conventions of a BSR film and I believe that this film is exactly that. It is gritty and realistic which is emphasized through the camerawork, Mise en scene and editing. What I love about this opening sequence is the use and placement of titles, I particularly like this typography as it is bold and straight to the point much like the protagonist doing the voice over. I have learnt that Mise en scene of a BSR film uses a lot of natural lighting, and has a very dull color pallet as well as detailed props and 'found' locations. I must try and employ these techniques and elements in my opening sequence in order to portray BSR in a realistic way. I have also found that the characters used in BRR films are average people and there is a use of type casting as the directors want people who do not have experience and have a 'kitchen sink' quality to them. An example of this would be Katie Jarvis who plays Mia in 'Fish tank' she was casted for the role when she was spotted having an argument with her boyfriend. I must avoid cliches in my opening sequence as this will not be unique and will not engage my audience and make them want to find out what happens in the film.
