Teachers comments
You need to upload the new version of your preliminary film please. Now
uploaded.
1. You have analysed 4 openings well. Will you take anything from
Quantum of Solace or Taken to use as inspiration for your film? Further
analysis now added with thoughts on what you might take from these
films to apply to yours.
2. Good powerpoint on your chosen genre. Please have a look at your
actors slide – Good Will Hunting is not an action film, did you mean the
Bourne series? Also can you re-upload your genre conventions mind
map as I can’t zoom in to read it. Genre mind map now re-sized. Genre
research now updated with more information and images.
3. Excellent idea to do a survey to help define your target audience. Could
you upload your results? You could also add a picture or avatar to give a
representation of your typical audience member. Results of survey now
uploaded helping you define your target audience well. Clearly annotated
avatar showing the likes and dislikes of your chosen target audience.
4. A well written script that follows conventions well. You could take out the
camera shots as these are not usually in scripts.
5. Some evidence of drafting from mind maps to scripts. Good inclusion of
diary posts.
6. Good clear storyboards.
7. A well thought through storyboard. Could this be re-uploaded in a
different format so we can zoom in and read easier. Now re-sized and
easier to read.
8. A clear floor plan, well done.
9. Locations identified well, good use of photos.

2. 10.Some choices identified in production schedule but more detail needed
Costume choices explained well. Good attempted at colour connotations
your choices may imply.
11.Some choices identified in production schedule but more detail needed
Prop choices now uploaded and explained well, good use of images.
12.Some choices identified in production schedule but more detail needed.
Why you chose them and pictures are needed. Actor choices now
uploaded and explained well, good use of images.
13.Some choices identified in production schedule but more detail needed
Equipment choices have now been upload explaining choices well, good
use of images.
14.A brief but clear production schedule. Could you break down your filming
anymore? Will 1 day be enough to film?
Most work has been uploaded Jon, however a lot more detail is needed. Ideally
your props, actors, costumes and equipment need separate blog posts and
images added to them. Some of your work needs re-uploading as is too small to
read at the moment. Please see the notes in red to improve your grade.
You have used your time well to improve your work. All work has now been
completed and or updated to a proficient standard, well done. Level 3.
