Reflection of Chase Sequence

Overall, I was quite impressed with the outcome of our chase sequence. As the cinematographer, in the pre-production stage I helped to design many of the shots and mise-en-scene when constructing our storyboard. I also helped towards contributing ideas for our plot.

Although we had planned our shots, when we got to the location we were filming, we got too excited and perhaps didn't follow the storyboard as much. We shot the scenes and shots from the story board but without a director,…

Chase Sequence Reflection

For this chase sequence, I worked with Melody and Miyu, where I took up the role of the editor. During the pre-production stages, we discussed ideas for locations, casts, and the concept of the whole chase sequence, as well as doing the storyboard.

Out of the three days we filmed, I was only able to help out on the last day, as my AYP expedition clashed with the…

Year 12 - Chase Sequence Reflection

My Role in Our Chase Sequence

My role in our team in creating the chase sequence was the script writer. In the preproduction process when we were deciding which idea we should use, I came up with the idea of using bikes as I felt that creatively we could all come up with ideas to make that initial idea work and when I found out that it had never been done before, the idea had more of an appeal. Once the initial idea was decided the rest of the script was down to me. I found it…

chase sequence

For the post production of making this short sequence i began to focus on the script that kasja has written as opposed to forming my own personal idea i worked around hers,we developed the script so that only some aspect of the story where still involved. Because the sequence needed to be specific to the conventional chase sequence we cut down dialogue and irrelevant parts of the script. I then had to work out where would be the most suitable areas to film different shots, because the film…

For this Chase Sequence project, i worked in a group of 3 with Christopher and Matthew (from ms curran's class). I was the cinematographer.

During the preproduction stage, all three of us met up for quite a few times to brain storms ideas and decide on the details. All three of us contributed to coming up with the story of the sequence. As the cinematographer I planned most of the shots after we came up with the rough idea, e.g. the angles they were going to be shot in, how…

Y12 - The French New Wave

For homework I have asked you to choose ONE of the Nouvelle Vague films on the last slide of the presentation HERE and watch it.

Y11 EXAM PREP- FORUM 2

Having considered the symbiotic relationship between ethnic representation, generic evolution and political reform, I would like us as a cohort to consider the contemporary musical landscape. Are the modern day black icons as aspirational and and politically significant as their predecessors? Keep in mind that we should apply this knowledge to OFFICIAL WEBSITES where possible.

 

Is it accurate to say that modern black icons, who are female must also be prepared to accept HYPER…

Y10 Ms Allan's Class- Practical Task

During the last 3 weeks before half-term, I would like you all to be involved in the process of making an i-phone advert. The ad itself needs to be 30-45secs, in accordance with the syllabus we are following. (WJEC) You may well choose to produce adverts as part of your coursework portfolio when you reach Y11 so this is a valuable exercise on a number of counts. For now, Ms Allan & I want you to learn the importance of safety when on set during a film production, whilst also learning the…

A very well informed essay Matt. I'm impressed with your appropriate use of context, both in terms of philosophical discourse and via placing the debate within the context of science and more widely, the enlightenment. Your examples are…

Good use of examples that you have used to demonstrate 'inductive' and 'deductive' reasoning, straightforward and relates does relate to you as a knower. The explanation on Comparative Bias and Informal Reasoning gives better…

I find this a rather fragmented essay Adi, rather like a set of notes rather than a fluent essay. You take the first step in moving towards a KI by placing reason within the context of the sciences. I also like the way you have linked this to your…

Very good essay, you've analyzed both forms of reasoning in depth, what you could have looked more into though is fallacious reasoning. What if your original premise was wrong? that leads to your final conclusion as well. Our knowledge is based…

In the first two sentences you state the same thing, it would be better to integrate these into one! Deductive reasoning is thoroughly explained and referred back to the question. In your inductive reasoning paragraph, you jump to conclusion that it…
