Media Magazine Article Review

CLASSIFYING FILM (pages 14-17, issue 49)

 What I learnt from this article:

  • when classifying films, there are no specific criteria
  • the public are able to have input in the classification of films 
  • apps and iTunes now have the opportunity to classified
  • classification of films is influenced by different cultural views
  • it is also influenced by who their target audience is meant to be

Introduction & Review on Classwork

WHAT I LEARNT TODAY
In today's lesson I learnt how to create different types of posts on a blog, such as text posts, how to make hyperlinks and how to embed photos and videos. Also, I now know what the AS course consists of in terms of coursework and exams and also briefly what the A2 course is going to involve.

REVIEW OF THE COURSEWORK WE WATCHED
We watched three examples of AS standard coursework.

Kathryn
WWW: the editing went really smoothly, allowing for the focus to be on the actual film and story line itself rather than the effects and editing.

EBI: A clearer plot would have been useful as I found some of the storyline confusing, it was nothing major, just a few continuity errors when it came to characters.

Hair
WWW: the sound was really good, it played a big part in this opening trailer and really added to the whole scare factor they were trying to create.

EBI: again, their storyline was quite unclear and it would have been useful if certain things had been explained or filmed in more detail rather then them assuming the audience would understand.

Dormant
WWW: the sound and the editing in this opening sequence was really good! It genuinely got my adrenaline going and it lived up to it's name of a horror.

EBI: once again, it was just a few small problems with the plot to the film that needed to be improved.
