By looking at the mark scheme, I now have a clearer understanding of what is required of me. I can now evaluate my own work and decide whether i need to add more detail or put information in a better order and design.
Creating a social realism timeline has helped me pin point and understand conventions of social realist films.
I found that working out what Social Realist Conventions were in each film was not to hard. However, i found it difficult to find reasons why the films would appeal to a niche, not mainstream, audience.
Discussing the themes used in British Social Realist films has helped me develop my understanding of the British Social Realism definition and how these themes are incorporated into films. I found that some themes, such as growing up and aspiration, are often used in Social Realist films as they make a big impact on the audience. I will take this into account when creating my opening sequence, as I have a limited amount of time and want to create the biggest impact possible, to raise audience anticipation. I found the trailer the for Billy Elliot to be very useful as it was pact with a variety of themes that occur in the film and gives impressions of what the film is going to be like. For example, the mise-en-scene connotes a working class environment, which gives the impressions of hardship. In my work i may try and emulate the way themes are brought forward through the mise-en-scene and characters and accent and dialect.
Evaluating previous media AS students work has helped improve my understanding of what my work requirements are. Using an evaluation sheet, I have tried to analysis the strengths and weaknesses of two candidates work. By comparing the two candidates work I now have a better understand of the grade boundaries and at what standard my work needs to be at to reach these levels.
In my work I will now try to be as detailed as candidate two and take care on the presentation of my work.
