create cover sheet

see Andreas about this

“Your reflective analysis should select key micro features of the sequence and demonstrate how they make meaning(s) and aim to provoke response(s) in the audience. Those of you working in a group, should focus on the construction and impact of your chosen micro aspect”

750-words (10 marks)
include camera angles
how editing is used
etc.

schedule a viewing for other students

create a ‘focus group’
create a questionnaire to pass out to the viewers after they are through watching the film short to get positive feed back, and see the areas that we can maybe improve
get a wide demographic of subjects (different ages/gender/backgrounds)

Aims for achieving a level 4 mark

excellent understanding of micro features demonstrated in sequence
excellent, creative use of appropriate micro features
excellent visualization, demonstrating a high degree of understanding of appropriate conventions
excellently structured and accurate use of appropriate language to communicate clearly
