AS Coursework Reflection

Digital Technology-
I used blogger on the internet to create a blog to write the research and planning for my work, it helped to keep up do date and access the work at home and at school. For the construction part of digital technology we used cameras, tripods and the computer software Adobe Premiere elements to complete the opening sequence of our films. For the research we used blogger to write it on and used the internet to find out more information about opening sequences to real films.

Creativity-
We looked at other action films to get inspiration for our own film. We were inspired by films like James Bond and the Bourne films. After looking at what is done in the opening sequences to action films we chose parts that we liked from other films to create our own opening sequence.

Research and Planning-


Post- Production-
From the audience feedback we have learnt that we need to think about costumes in more depth

Using conventions from real media texts-
We have used titles which are used in real media products, they are used to show the title of the film and the actors, director and producer in the film. We have used a similar location to other action films, which is more realistic. We used props and costumes which you will find in action films, like phones and smart/casual costume. We used different shots to make it seem more like a real media product, we also used quick editing to show speed as it is an action film. Most importantly the story had to seem realistic to the genre, which was action so we included explosions and a chase scene. We also had 3 main characters in the opening sequence.
