Use your vocabulary

Your post should be full of media terms, used correctly.

• Don't use terms like sound - be specific and refer to diegetic or non diegetic sound, Parallel sound, on/off screen etc
• Have you remembered to comment on the editing - are there examples of different transitions, examples of acceleration or slow mo, parallel or cross cutting, Montage editing, split screen? What about continuity editing - 180 degree rule, shot reverse shot, Match on action, cutaways, eye line matches etc.

You can always use hyperlinks to definitions of these terms aswell or link to a tutorial on You tube etc.

Experience tells us that camerawork and Mise en scene are well covered.

and don't forget ... lots of still images to illustrate points.

Task Three

Your research for your short film

Follow your briefing sheet as to what you need to cover for this. It is also on Moodle. The more research that you do, the more ideas that you will get. Start looking for patterns re narrative structure. I would suggest you do atleast 5 each (so groups of 4 have 20 different films to inform their ideas).

Make sure that the format is blog like. Hyper links, embed video, Images (to accompany textual analysis - this is a must0, ensure that you anchor all images, write text as bullet points with vclear sub titles.
