Research and Planning - 8

The research and planning is partially incomplete, and does not reflect many elements of planning that I would expect for this task. There is a proficient level of research into similar products, although this does tend to be overly descriptive and lack analysis. However there is no work on identifying potential target audiences, I would have liked to see some work on demographics to explore the potential audience for this film. There is little work on organising the film itself, no mind maps, storyboard, filming schedule etc. Overall this feels like an unfinished blog. 

Main Task – 35

Many technical skills are shown, but generally at a basic level. The film is appropriate for the task on the whole, but elements like the continuous music at the start to make it feel a little like a trailer. Although the shots are well framed and there is some use of camera movement like pans, there is little variety in camera shots, and many shots go on for a long time on a wide, meaning that it looks dull and lacks the depth of a film with sophisticated sequences built up. The narrative is clear through the use of camera/editing, but again it skims over the plot. There are times when the continuity doesn’t work, and a few sound issues with dialogue being cut off when run under different shots. There is good use of shot – reverse shot and a good use of after effects to create a ‘CCTV’ feel.
