Research and Planning  -15

Planning and research is complete to a proficient standard. The research into similar products is proficient, although Ashleigh does sometimes struggle to express herself; she has clearly understood the task. The work into potential target audiences does cover some interesting areas of demographics, although I would have liked to see more application of the demographics to her own work. There is excellent organisation of actors, costumes, props etc, as well as shot lists, scripting and storyboards. I would have liked to see more work on locations and costumes though. Overall this is a blog that borders on excellent and a good level of care has been taken with presentation.

Main Task – 39

The material is appropriate for the target audience, and is clearly a proficient film opening in its narrative, style and dialogue. The titles follow conventions, and the red font is particularly fitting for the horror genre. There is some interesting sound edits, including cutaway’s with sound running underneath. Occasionally this isn’t so successful, but on the whole it is. There are a variety of shot distances and on the whole the framing is thoughtful. Editing helps with meaning on the whole, but there are one or two continuity issues, like when the group move from the bed to the floor too quickly.
