Test Screening Feedback

By the end of this week, every practical production group will have presented some of their raw footage and received feedback from their peers and the teacher. So before the half term holiday starts, every group must make a detailed posting on your blog (with the title above) outlining what you've learned from the process. Please cover the following...

1.

For this first section, go through all your test screening feedback sheets and come up with an average grade for each aspect of MCCAT (the assessment objectives; what will ultimately determine your grade) based on these returns...

  • Media Language (A-E)
  • Conventions (A-E)
  • Creativity (A-E)
  • Attention to Detail (A-E)
  • Technical Proficiency (A-E)

2.

Then make a list of all the positive comments you received on your forms, ideally breaking them down into the different areas the class were asked to concentrate on...

  • (cinematography?)
  • (mise en scene?)
  • (lighting?)
  • (sound?)
  • (conventions? matching audience?)
  • (miscellaneous)

3.

Next, focus on any constructive criticism you received in the feedback, under the same headings as for the previous section...

  • (cinematography?)
  • (mise en scene?)
  • (lighting?)
  • (sound?)
  • (conventions? matching audience?)
  • (miscellaneous)

4.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, write up the suggestions and ideas about how to improve and what else could be added...

  • What else would you (or the target audience) like to see in this production? (scenes? sequences?)
  • Suggestions for post-production/editing (music? voiceover? cutaways? montage? cross cutting? titles? slo-mo?)
Please remember that all filming must be completed by the time we return after the holiday (Monday 26th February) as well as all logging of shots.

Failure to meet this deadline will mean you will be late to start editing (and there are only five weeks left when we return to do this) and you'll also get last choice in terms of which PC you get to work on (a nice new fast one, or an old slow one, perhaps even shared with another group?)
