Production reflection

 What was the genre you were given?

What did you decide to include in your film that would fit in with the genre conventions?

What programme did you use to complete your task? Any new tools learnt? 

How did you distribute the tasks? 

What were the biggest obstacles to completing your task? What problems did you encounter and how did you overcome them?

Describe your production, what went well? The successes and the final piece. 

What was your initial feedback? What did others say about your production?

Identify what went well and with hindsight what will you do differently in your final production?

In your groups over the next two weeks you will need to complete your preliminary task this will include:

• A brief production diary of the process of who did what and screen shots of group and locations and schedule
• Genre conventions to be included in the plan
• Task idea, title and script, any music?
• Mise en Scene - think about costumes, locations 
• Storyboard
• Shooting schedule 

The minimum amount of shots you must include are:

• match on action
• shot/reverse shot - conversation
• 180 degree rule
• an establishing shot
• at least two close ups of the characters
• a tracking shot 
• high angle shot
• Point of view shot 

When these are approved by your teacher you will then sign out a camera. When your final draft is complete we will peer assess and the evaluation will be uploaded also.

GBHS Student opening films

Here are some previous film openings made by GBHS students in year 12. After we watch each one write the name of the clip and identify the genre, why do you think it fits the genre conventions? What went well and even better if.

And here are some more from other schools to give you inspiration:
