BSR- Production Log One

This week in media we got introduced to our new topic which is British Social Realism, we looked at examples of British social realism films such as Fish Tank and Ill Manors. We got introduced to our brief and task that we will be assigned to do, the brief gave me a vague idea on what I would like to do for this task, also by looking at past students works for this topic it helped me develop my own story and it showed me what I should include and what I should avoid doing.

  

 When we include mise-en-scene we have to keep in mind P.L.A.C.E , this will help us avoid making
mistakes that will make us lose marks.

P- production design-sets, props and costumes
L-lighting- ambient/artificial/natural
A-actors- performance/blocking/screen time
C- colour design- through production
E- era- how is the time place represented



We also got introduced to Film4- productions: our brief clearly stated that Film4 is our production our brief said that we had to make sure we followed it' Film4 to make a British social realist film aimed at British 16-24 year old's.' we have to make sure that when we do our opening sequence we had to make sure that its to do with real life and it has to include working class people who face everyday struggles.


 The mark scheme showed me what I needed and have to include if I want to achieve a high mark, it showed me what I must and must not do, it gave me the basic information I require for my work.
In the marks scheme it showed me the different levels that can be achieved, the highest level was 4 and the lowest level was 1 , for each of the level you have to show the understanding  of producing work that is appropriate for the set target audience, you had to also show that you know how to use the graphics and titles correctly most importantly each level requires the understanding of mise-en-scene, you have to have the basic level 1 requirements to achieve a higher level.

We then got to take a look at past students work, we got given a mark scheme and had to give them a grade we thought was suitable, when watching the opening sequences it gave me a brief idea on what I should and shouldn't do when doing my own work it showed me what I should aim for, for this project.

One of the main things i noticed was the music was always loud and it resulted into not being able to hear the dialogue being said and also the use of the graphics, were good but sometimes on a little to fast and in some places was not used correctly, this made me think that I should be able to do this well when executing my opening sequence.

By doing the peer assessing work it gave me ideas on what I should and shouldn't do when it comes to doing my own opening sequence , it also made me more aware of baring my target audience in mind and how to keep them interested and not bored, it showed me what i have to do if I want to achieve top marks.
