Reflection 8/3/2011

Today we showed our final scripts to our group members and begun to decide who played who and where we would film. We also learnt who our composers for the film music would be. During the lesson, my group discussed any extra ideas we had which might be incorperated into the film. We also talked about how to improve the final script. In the end, with some help from Mrs. Wong, we learned that the only thing that we had to improve was the ending of the film. 

Reflection 28/2/2011

Today we did a simple anaylsis excercise. The clip that we had to anaylse was the first 5 minutes of the movie Vanilla Sky. The excercise allowed us to use the knowledge that we had about camera techniques to analyze a film director's tricks to create certain moods. The technique we focused on the most was the use of sounds to create a atmosphere which matched the film. The use of a fast beat during the running scene to create a hurried and worryful atmosphere was really good. We also recieved information about our essay about film analysis.
