The target I set myself

Level 3 36–47 marks

There is evidence of proficiency in the creative use of many of the following technical skills:

holding a shot steady, where appropriate;

framing a shot, including and excluding elements as appropriate;

using a variety of shot distances as appropriate;

shooting material appropriate to the task set;

selecting mise-en-scène including colour, figure, lighting, objects and setting;

editing so that meaning is apparent to the viewer;

using varied shot transitions and other effects selectively and appropriately for the task set;

using sound with images and editing appropriately for the task set;
• using titles appropriately.

Im aiming for a level three for my practical work. I think this because the targets are as high as I believe my capibilities will allow me to get.

I am going to aim to tick most of these points in my Task to achieve what I feel I can.

Our task

10. A short film in its entirety, lasting approximately five minutes, which may be live action or animated or a combination of both, together with two of the following three options:
 a poster for the film;
 a radio trailer for the film;
 a film magazine review page featuring the film.

The reason we have chosen this task is because we feel that film is our strongest field of work, and making a live action film is something that we have all wanted to do. The two subsidiary tasks that we have decided to do is the poster for out film and a film magazine review page featuring the film. We did not chose to do the radio trailer for the film because we didn't feel confident enough to take on this task as we didn't have any experience of how to create a radio broadcast.
