For our production we only require 3 different locations to be able to complete our production. The three location that we require are: a bedroom (where Rob will be found dead); a staircase; and a living room (where James will see the killer). Luckily all 3 of these locations can be found under one house. One of the main reasons for using these locations is for convenience due to the fact that we do not need to travel far to reach this location.
The bedroom.
The blue colour scheme within the bedroom is to represent youth, because this is a teenage boys bedroom and the audience should see this. It is also supposed to represent peace and spirituality, as Rob and James are meant to be peaceful and innocent, not aware of their fate.
The staircase.
The brown colour scheme of the staircase is effective as brown represents isolation. As Jame walks down the staircase, he will feel isolated as his friend has just unexpectedly died, but he will also be fearful of stepping downstairs in to the unknown.
The living room.
The cream colour is a neutral colour, so the action that happens in the living room will take main focus. It is filled with lots of different objects, which imply that a family lives there. Now that we have all the elements of our production sorted, the next step is to make an animatic.
Props, also known as
theatrical property, is an objects used on stage by actors. Smaller props are
referred to as “hand props”. Larger props may be set decoration, such as a
table or chairs.
The only difference
between a set decoration and a prop is use. If an item is not touched by an
actor for any reason it is simply set decoration, if it is touch by an actor
then it is a prop.
Many props are
ordinary objects, however they must look real to the audience. Most real
objects do a poor job of looking like themselves that specially produced props
are created to look more like the actual item. In some cases props are designed
to behave differently than the real object would (often for the sake of
safet). A good example of this is breakaway such as sugar glass or balsa-wood
furniture, these objects breakages look real but often cause no injury. Even
for these seemingly safe props stunt doubles are often brought in..
Props list:
knife
alarm clock
beds
After sorting props, we can now focus on getting our location for the film sorted.
The storyboard is complete, so we now we can focus on details like the costume of characters. Research: The costume specialists and the wardrobe specialists design the outfits for the actors / actresses of the film. The costume and wardrobe specialists work together to get the costumes right for the type of television show, the type of movie or the drama performance that it is needed for. Costumes are important because it can represent ethnicity, regional identity and social class of the character. Costumes have to be picked with great detail to show everything the director is trying to represent to the audience about the character. The costumes that we need for our film are:
- A hoodie (for the killer). We have decided on a black hoodie for the killer because of its connotations. The connotations of a youth in a hoodie is danger, which is to be represented in the killers personality. The colour scheme of the hoodie to black because of 3 main connotations. Mystery, the audience dose not know anything about this character, the characters motives for killing . Death, the audience will understand that this character is the one who committed the crime of murder. Power, this character has the power to choose who gets to live.
- Pyjamas (for the boys). Rob will be wearing a white shirt. The connotation of the white shirt is innocence, we wish for this portrayal of innocence to be bestowed onto Rob because as far as the audience is concerned Rob has done nothing to deserve his fate. James is to be wearing a blue clothing set. Blue symbolises trust, loyalty and has a calming effect. This is to reflect James' nature and the calming effect will be seen when James questions the killer.
The script is now complete, so the next step is to research and draw up a storyboard.
Storyboard Research
The purpose of a storyboard is a visual plan or timeline of what will
take place in a film, shot by shot. It helps to organize and make clear what
will take place in the film, so it’s easier to shoot.
In films, it helps film crew to know what they are shooting, like
directors and cameramen etc. It helps to make the shooting process easier for
them, as it helps to keep continuity of shots, and for directors and producers
to visualize exactly what they want to be in each shot.
Storyboards should tell you exactly what is in each shot, where the
actors are placed and what they’re doing where they’re going etc.
This is an example of a film storyboard.
Now that the research for the storyboard has been completed, we now need to create one.
Professional screenwriters are already aware of
programmes with professional solutions such as Final draft, Celtx and Adobe
Story. These options particularly focus on formatting and collaboration.
The script is usually written so that one page
roughly equals one minute of screen time, the standard font is 12 point,
10-pitch courier. In a draft of the script there is a very minimal technical
direction and the scenes are not numbered where as in a ‘shooting script’ each
scene is numbered and technical direction is given.
In the script there is dialogue, this is the
lines that the characters are speaking, and the action, which is written in the
present tense.
The interplay
between typeface/font, line spacing and type area, from which the standard of
one page of text per one minute of screen time is derived. In the United States
letter size
paper and Courier 12
point are mandatory; Europe uniformly uses A4
as the standard paper size format, and has no uniform font requirement.
The tab settings of the screen elements(dialogue, scenes headings, transitions,
parenthetical, etc.), which constitute the screenplay's layout.
The dialogue must
be centered and the names must be capitalized. A script
usually begins with "FADE IN:", followed by the first scene
description. It might get more specific, e.g. "FADE IN ON AN ECU of Ricky as he
explains the divorce to Bob." A script will usually end with "FADE TO
BLACK", though there are variables, like "CUT TO
BLACK" for abrupt endings.
A speculative screenplay is a script that is being written to be sold with no promise of payment, the screenwriter usually thinks up the ideas in the script. A writer who has been hired writes a commissioned screenplay, the idea of the film has usually been thought of a long time before a screenwriter has been hired.
Now that script writing has been researched, we will create our script.
In order to see if our film opening would appeal to the target audience, our group asked 3 people in the 25-34 year old age bracket what they thought of our film treatment. Here are their responses:
Doug, 26 year old: "I thought the idea was interesting. Even though it wasn't an 100% original idea it would still draw me in as a film opening, and I would probably want to end up watching the rest of the film."
Adam, 29 year old: "I would have prefered it to be more of a physcological thriller, where the protaganist doesn't know if he murdered his friend or not and then that would be the mystery throughout the film. The plot for this verges on a slasher horror film. Not sure if I'd watch it."
Joe, 32 year old: "I would definitely watch it. Being as the opening minutes of the film are so tense, it would make me want to carry on watching to see what happens next. I love thrillers, so this is right up my street."
Given the feedback, we have decided to stick with our treatment. Hopefully the way that we shoot the opening should put Adam's fear of it turning into a horror film at rest, and we think that the plot is strong enough to carry a strong film opening.
After finally deciding upon all the details of our treatment, the next step is to research script writing and write a script for our film opening
For our project we have to consider our target audience. Target audience is the group of people that is expected to watch our film (for example middle class males if we were making an action film).
To be able to pick a target audience, we need to know the different aspects of our film. We would have to consider things like if our film had swearing, violence, and the genre of our film to help us determine a target audience.
The tags of a youtube video show the different aspects of the video, if our film was a Youtube video, it's tags would probably be thriller,suspense, dark, murder and nightmare.
We also must consider what the appropriate classification for our film would be. Below is the British Board of Classifications List, and a link to their website. They have the guidelines for what classification a film should be given depending on what is in that film.
http://www.bbfc.co.uk/
Following the BBFC's guidelines, we have decided to rate our film 15. This is because if it was a full film, violence will be included, as well as frequent strong language and threat. In the opening 2 minutes, blood can also be seen from a stab wound, and strong language is also used once.
In general terms, our target audience would be aged between 25-34 years old males, who enjoy thrillers and maybe horror films. We think that because they would be at an appropriate age where they can appreciate psychological thrillers, and would want to see maybe a bit of action. We also think that they would be of B or C1 class (see below). We think this because in B and C range they would have the money to see films often at the cinema and would also have the money to buy films to stream off Netflix or to buy off itunes. They would also probably be able to afford hi tech tvs' to watch the films more enjoyably. People in class A probably wouldn't have enough time to take a high interest in films. They are likely to find out about this film on Facebook, and through reviews elsewhere (like on the radio or in a film magazine).
Pearl and Dean
Pearl and Dean is a film website that shows the viewing statistics of films. Here is two examples of similar films to ours and their comparable profiles of viewing statistics.
Zero Dark Thirty
Killing Them Softly
Target Audience Profile
In order to get a more specific idea of exactly the type of audience we would have to watch our film, we must have a Target Audience Profile of one of our audience. We have chosen Jack, a 28 year old graphic designer:
He enjoys thriller, horror, action, and comedy films. His favourite films are Inglorious Basterds, The Silence of The Lambs, The Strangers, and Die Hard.
He lives in a 2 bedroom house in North London with his girlfriend.
He went to a state high school and did well in his A levels, so was able to go on to University and study graphic design.
He is a graphic designer and works at Hurricane Media.
He usually watches films at home on his own or with his girlfriend, or at the cinemas with his girlfriend.
His favourite music is 'indie' music, and some of his favourite bands are Grizzly Bear, Arcade Fire, and The Strokes.
He takes an interest in film and music, and reads magazines like Q and Empire. He uses his Apple mac and iPhone often.
Now that we have determined our target audience, we must ask members of the target audience to give use feedback on our film treatment.
In order to get appropriate feedback on our film treatment, our group must determine a target audience for our film. This will take place in the next post.
A film treatment is a two to five page document that tells the whole story of the film, focusing on the highlights. The things that are usually included in treatments are: a title, the writers names, a short synopsis of the film, introduction to key characters, 'who, what, where, why, and when', act 1 in a few paragraphs to set the scene and introduce the main conflicts, act 2 in a few more paragraphs to show how the conflicts introduced in act 1 have lead to a crisis, and act 3 in three or less paragraphs to show the final conflict and resolution. The audience for film treatments are film studios, and people like producers, who you would want to see your idea and to perhaps commission your idea into a film.
Below is our film treatment: Film Treatment
Before deciding on our film opening, we quickly made this ident. We think it fits a thriller film, as the colours are dark and basic and the sound is eerie.
The above is my film pitch. As you can tell by watching it, my idea recieved a lot of constructive criticism, mainly because the drug theme was a bit heavy.
After watching all of the groups' pitches, Mr Hood will put us in to production teams, and those teams will be who we work on the main task with.
Thriller conventions are what are typically included in thriller films (like low lighting etc) and what the audience expect to be in the films. Through my research in the last blog post, I have been able to spot thriller conventions that are used in the majority of thriller films.
Low-lighting, maybe shadows on the wall.
Dead space in certain frames to create tension.
Eerie, dark music for atmosphere.
Mysterious antagonists, and sometimes mysterious protagonists.
Twists in plotlines to keep the audience guessing.
Props such as knives and guns used. Sometimes fake blood is used.
Cliff-hanger or twist ending.
Dramatic climax.
Some of the conventions listed above I will need to include in my film opening in order to create a realistic thriller and to please the target audience.
It is now time for me to think of a film opening. With all the research from my previous blog posts I have been able to realise what is appropriate for a thriller film opening, including the conventions, and I now must prepare a pitch for a two minute film opening idea to my peers.
Thrillers are a genre of film which include suspense and tension to captivate audiences attention and to draw them into the storyline. Thrillers typically feature the main protagonist in some sort of dilemma, which they may or may not overcome, with surprise and drama throughout. Often there is a sense of impending doom, as the protagonists antagonists fates are unknown, with the audience waiting in suspense until the inevitable climax. Thrillers can often end on a cliff-hanger, and use twists in the storyline to subvert the audiences expectations and further draw them in.
Thriller Sub-Genres
There are many sub-genres of thrillers, which is what makes it such an interesting genre to work with. Here are examples of some of the more popular thriller sub-genres:
Conspiracy thrillers: main protagonist believes that a powerful organisation or group of people are after them. The film would track the protagonists fight against the corrupt organisation, with the obvious trials and twists along the way. Examples of this sub genre are The Bourne Ultimatum, The Constant Gardener, and The Adjustment Bureau.
Crime thrillers: crime thrillers typically follow the criminals and their activities leading up to a big crime, but can sometimes follow a protagonist who's either trying to infiltrate the criminals gang to try and defeat them. Crime thrillers usually involve robberies, murders and chases. Example of crime thrillers include Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction and Training Day.
Mystery thrillers: involves even more twists than other thrillers, to keep audiences constantly on edge. The protagonist and audience usually find out information about the 'mystery' at the same time. This can sometimes cross over with physiological thrillers and the horror genre. Examples of this are Shutter Island, The Talented Mr Ripley, and Rosemary's Baby.
Political thrillers: usually uses real-life political scenarios in which the protagonist must stop bad things like assassination and wars from occurring or try to become more powerful in politics, and sometimes battle government corruption. Examples are The Assassination of Richard Nixon, The Contender, and All The President's Men.
Psychological thrillers: much like mystery thrillers, the aim of this sub-genre is to get inside of the audiences head and make them think, and subvert their expectations. Examples of psychological thrillers are Silence of The Lambs, Taxi Driver, and Rear Window.
Popular thrillers
Here are some examples of famous thrillers that I could research for inspiration for my opening film:
Goodfellas: crime thriller following a man and his friends working their way up the mob hierarchy.
Inception: physiological thriller set in a world where technology exists to enter the mind through dream invasion.
Psycho: mystery thriller when a woman is on the run after stealing money from her employer's client, and stays at a motel ran by a loner man too long under the domination of his mother.
The most popular directors of thrillers are Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino, and Martin Scorcese. All of their thriller films are highly respected and could be used in my research.
Audience
The target audience for thrillers I would say is between 25- 50 depending on the film. Thriller films are usually always given 15 or 18 age restriction certificates, which shows that the content in the films won't be sutiable for younger viewers due to things like murder, drugs, or sex scenes. Thriller films are intended to make the audience think about what they've just watched, and people that are older are inclined to want to watch a film where the plot has substance and maturity, as appose to a, for example, slasher horror film, where there is a lot of gore but not much thought taken in to the plot.
After researching various thriller films, I am made aware of the conventions of thriller films and what is to be expected from them. I will explore this in my next post.
Choosing a genre for our film opening was a harder task than expected. The media group wanted to do either horror or comedy, as they're the types of films our age group are more inclined to watch, and they would also be fun to make. Overall, the majority of the group opted for comedy as the genre of choice, but Mr Hood was sceptical of the decision and gave us a homework task to come up with one original joke. Unfortunately, no one had a 100% original joke, but some of the jokes told made some people laugh, whilst others (Mr Hood) failed to find them amusing. This proved that humour is subjective, and that a genre choice that we thought was 'easy' was actually quite hard to produce, and also in danger of alienating the audience. This made us all think harder about what genre would be easiest to do, and what the audience would be more inclined to watch and enjoy. We produced a mind map in the lesson of genre and sub-genres pros and cons:
We eventually came to the unanimous desicion that thriller was the best choice of genre, as it has simple conventions, would be fairly easy to produce, and would appeal to a wider audience.
As we have chosen the genre for the film opening, the next step is to explore and research that genre.
Film distribution studios focus on the marketing of a film, like public screenings, trailers, advertisements, and the release date for films. Film production studios make films. They supply actors, manage props, scripts, filming schedules and location. All film production studios and film distribution studios have idents, which help the audience to clearly identify them. Film idents are at the start of all films you will see, even small budget films will have the ident of the film production and distribution studio that worked on that film at the start. Film idents can also set the tone for the film, and show what the genre of the film will be (horror/fantasy) etc. There are 6 major film production companies, whose idents are popular and well known. They are Universal, Columbia, Disney, Fox, Paramount and DreamWorks. Popular idents (like the ones listed) also have the power to change their ident slightly to fit the film (for example 20th Century Fox changed the iconic ident to be blue tinted and snowing, and with different music for the start of Edward Scissorhands, and for The Wedding Planner the iconic lady holding the torch was dressed in a white wedding dress holding up a bouquet of flowers). Universal - popular film studio
The Universal ident (shown above) lasts 21 seconds. It is effective in many ways as the name 'Universal' is large and the world being shown in the ident suggests that the film shown will appeal to a wide audience range, all around the world. As the word 'Universal' travels across the Earth, the different countries light up, possibly signifying that watching films by Universal will make people happier and 'light up the world'. The music is dramatic, but uplifting, and is obviously recognisable, so makes the audience want to carry on watching. As it fades out and shows the world lit up with space around it and 'Universal' across it, there is the Universal website address below it, which would appeal to an internet-savvy audience who would perhaps want to find out more about Universal and its future projects. This shows that Universal is in touch with a more technology advanced audience, and it shows the audience that the film is relatively new and modern. The colours used in the ident are bright, as the lit-up, inviting Earth stands out across against the black space, making it noticeable and appealing. Some of the films Universal have produced/distributed are Jurassic Park, E.T, and Jaws, hence why it is so popular around the world - like the ident suggests!
Icon - independent studio ident
The Icon film ident (shown above) lasts for 15 seconds before fading out. Even though it's shorter than the Universal ident, which could have been a positive, this ident doesn't give much of an impact. No music is used over the ident, instead it's the sound of thunder rumbling, which does create a dramatic effect, but you don't exactly signify the sound of thunder with Icon studios, and it also sets a moody tone for the film, which doesn't exactly go with some of the films Icon has produced (example being Kevin and Perry Go Large). If they had of used their own music, they might be slightly more recognisable and therefore a little bit more popular. The icon of the mans eye is shown all the way through, and the use of some sort of animation might have made the icon more appealing to all audience, instead of being quite plain. However, the icon of the man's eye stands out across the black background, and is fairly recognisable as being the Icon logo.
Things to consider with my ident:
Time- too long can bore an audience, and being as it's only two minutes of film we have, the shorter the better.
Colour- eye-catching colour like in the Universal ident helps to make an audience remember the company and have the ident will have more of an impact. However, as it's the opening of a thriller that we're creating, the tone set should really be more like the tone from the Icon ident, with muted colours.
Sound- the music should really be dramatic and tense to set the tone, as happy music at the start could make the audience confused about what they expect to see from the tone.
I have finished my research into film idents, so the next logical step is choose a genre for my film opening.
We researched titles using www.artofthetitle.com. From here, we were able to look up thriller films that are similar to ours to see how their opening titles were handled. This is an example of one opening that our group looked at:
This video helped give us inspiration for our own film titles and what to include in our opening and when:
To help us understand what is needed in our film opening, it is important that we research various film openings to get an idea of what should appear and when. I chose 3 film openings and wrote what I saw in each one:
Edward Scissorhands
Casino
Night Of The Living Dead
Edward Scissorhands-
Production company ident: 20th century fox ident but changed to fit the film with snow falling, blue lens and Edward Scissorhands music. Lasts for about 7 seconds before fading out.
'Twentieth Century Fox Presents A Tim Burton Film 'oo
Title of film: 'Edward Scissorhands'
Pans across various things like old doors and machinery throughout the credits with cast names etc faded on top.ii
Main actor/actress: 'Johnny Depp' Main supporting actor/actress: 'Winona Ryder' Various cast members names Production crew names and roles:'Music by...'"Casting by...". "Special Makeup and effects produced by..." "Edited by..." "Production Designer...". "Director of Photography...".
Casino- Production company ident: classic Universal ident, lasts around 27 seconds
Black background, no music. 'Universal Pictures and Syalis D.A & Legende Enterprises Present' fade off
'A De Final/ Cappa Production' fade off 'Adapted from a true story' fade off '1983' fade off Action: around 40 seconds in a man walks to his car and as he turns on the engine, the car explodes and the frame is filled with fire from the explosion. 'A Martin Scorcese Picture' appears on the screen over the action. Main actor/actress: 'Robert De Niro' Supporting actors/actresses: 'Sharon Stone' Title of film: 'Casino' Various cast members names Night of The Living Dead- Action: long winding road, car comes from the distance 'An Image Ten Production' overlays the scene Action continues throughout the opening, with cast members and titles overlayed in white writing. Title: 'The Night of the Living Dead' Production crew names: basically all of the production crew are listed in the opening sequence, from make-up supervisor to continuity.
Looking at the opening to these very different films has shown me that the opening sequences usually have the following things in the following order:
the production company ident
action before the title
title of film
names of main actors/actresses followed by the supporting actors names
names of some of the production crew
Obviously not every film goes by this, but from my research this is what I found to be the most typical starting order. For my opening sequence I think I may roughly follow the above, with an ident first, but I think I may have the cast members names and production crew names after, then the title, as I'm not sure if I want to overlay titles over the action in my film. However, this could change depending on my film opening.
After researching and gaining an understanding of the conventions of film openings, I now feel ready to research film idents.
After researching film-making techniques, I felt confident enough to start my preliminary task. For my preliminary task I worked with Jon and Jontie. We were very happy with our piece, as we felt that a lot of things went well, and we only faced a few challenges. I felt that the frames were the right length of time, and that we followed the 180 degree rule in the conversation between the two actors. We had no interruptions throughout the filming process, and everything went considerably smoothly and we made decisions (like what position to shoot from) quite quickly. We also worked well as a team, and I feel that the piece was appropriate for the audience (my class and Mr Hood) as they all found it humorous and no one was alienated. I was happy as well with the over the shoulder shots in the conversation between Jon and Jontie, as you could still see the expression on Jon's face after Jontie had stormed off, which was effective. The lighting was good as well, as you could clearly see the features of Jon and Jontie and of their surroundings. The framing was good also, as all of Jontie and Jon were in the frame, and no ones head got cut off by the camera. We did struggle with continuity a little bit, as when one frame of the back of Jontie walking switched to a frame of the front of Jontie walking, we had to be careful that we didn't make it look like he was walking in a different direction or walking on a different foot than the one he started out on. We also failed to get the name of the building in to the establishing shot, which we could re do. In the first frame, there was the noise of a lawn mower, which was annoying, but could be overdubbed with sound. Below is the preliminary task:
Now that my preliminary task is finished, I can now focus on the research for my main task. The next stage is to research various film openings.
Before making my own films, I need to research some basic film-making rules. Here is a summary of the rules I investigated. Continuity
Continuity within films is where the props, characters, places and objects seen by the viewer is kept consistent over a period of time. When it is noticeable that something has changed (i.e. a man has a watch on his wrist in one shot, and in the next shot, he has no watch) then it is called a continuity error. Continuity errors are often subtle and not noticeable, but when noticed can sometimes ruin the illusion of the film. This video shows some examples of continuity errors in popular films:
Some of the mistakes shown in this clip aren't continuity errors but are anachronisms, which is where objects are shown in the clip/film that don't belong to the period of time where the piece is set. For example, at 1:02 in Gladiator, a film set in the Roman times, a gas canister is seen on the back of a chariot.
180 Degree Rule The 180 Degree Rule in film-making is where there is an invisible line between two characters or a character and an object that the camera should not cross. If the line is crossed, then the characters magically change sides and swap places, or their eyeline doesn't quite meet the other character, which can disorientate the audience. This video explains the 180 Degree Rule, how to stick to it, and what to avoid.
Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds is the composition of a frame or of an image. The frame/image is divided up in to 9 equal sections, to make it look more satisfying to the audience and to make it look more visually appealing.
The still of Morgan Freeman in the film se7en shows the rule of thirds. The subject (Morgan) is placed at a point where two of the lines cross. His eyes are on the level with the horizontal line, and his body is lined up with the vertical line on the right, with an equal amount of the background behind him.
An image or a frame can be split into diagonal equal sections aswell, however this isn't considered to be a proper use of rule of thirds, but it still does work, as it can add an interesting dimension to a frame or an image that is different to the traditional rule of thirds. The image above shows the red lines in which a frame can be split in to, to give an interesting look to an image or a frame.
Shots
There are many different types of shots that can be used in film-making:
Establishing shot (EST): Establishes where the action takes place - sets the scene.
Wide shot (WS): Often (but not always) used as an establishing shot.
Long shot (LS):A shot which shows all or most of a fairly large subject.
Medium long shot (MLS): Knees to head with some background.
Medium shot (MS): Waist to head.
Medium two shot (M2S): Similar to MS, but with two people.
Medium close up (MCU): Head and shoulders.
Close Up (CU): Shows a character's face, used to show emotion.
Big close up (BCU): Forehead to chin, used to show extreme emotion.
Extreme close up (ECU): A very tight shot, for example someone's eye or a door handle.
Over the shoulder (OTS): Used during a conversation, MCU and the other person's head/shoulder/back etc.
Overhead shot (OH): Camera will be directly over the actors.
High angle (H/A): Could be used to make the object/person look powerless.
Low angle (L/A): Could be used to make the object/person look powerful.
Deep shot (DS): When something is in the foreground and something else is in the background.
I now understand some of the basic rules that will allow me to produce high quality coursework. I will start with the prescribed Preliminary Task.
Foundation in Portfolio Media This is a coursework unit where candidates produce a media artefact from a series of briefs. This process involves progression from a pre-production, preliminary exercise to a more fully realised piece. The briefs offered are: print, video, audio and website. Candidates present their research and planning in either paper based or electronic format and do an evaluation in electronic format, based on a series of prompt questions. Video preliminary exercise: continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180 degree rule. Main task: the titles and opening of a new fiction film, to last the maximum of two minutes. All video and audiomaterial must be original, produced by the candidate(s), with the exception of music or audio effects from a copyright-free source. Both preliminary and main tasks may be done individually or as a group. Maximum four members to a group.
This is my AS Media blog, where everything relevant to the research and planning of the AS course will be posted. This will be made up of things such as embedded video and sound clips, written explanations and media artefacts that relate to my work.
