AS Film Studies - Exploring Film Form
 |
| "What will it be Mr Torence?" |
TASK: Analysis
of a film extract -1500 words (30 marks)
For your first coursework task you are required
to produce a written analysis of a film extract that explores how one or two of the following micro
features construct elements of meaning and provoke a response in the spectator.
·
Cinematography,
camera shots and movement
·
Mise-en-scene
·
Editing
·
Sound
Guidelines
·
Formulate
your own ‘specific’ question/title.
· Don’t
merely describe the scene. Discuss how your chosen micro elements create
meaning and explain how this creates a response in an audience.
·
Use the
micro elements prompt sheet.
·
Keep it
simple – cause & effect
·
Choose a
relevant scene to demonstrate your analysis.
·
Don’t
read from a sheet. Prepare bullet-points, which can act as prompts.
·
Use film
stills or other visual material to support your comments.
AS Film Studies - Creative Project
Aims
& context, film sequence or short film and
reflective
analysis (50 marks)
You
are required to create a film sequence or a complete short film
that
demonstrates how the micro features of film construct meaning. This
comprises
three elements:
(i)
Aims and context
A
clarification of the aims and context of the sequence or short film to be
completed on the appropriate cover sheet.
This must be completed on the appropriate cover sheet, otherwise the
Creative Project and accompanying Reflective Analysis cannot be adequately
assessed.
(ii) Film Sequence or
Short Film
The
film sequence may either be an extract from a longer film or a complete short
film, with the emphasis on visual communication rather than on dialogue. It may take one of the following forms:
• an extended step outline of 1000
words (representing 5-8 scenes)
• a photographed (digital or
photo-chemical) storyboard of between 10 and 25 different shots (some of
which may be repeated) plus up to 5 found shots (shots which would be difficult
to photograph or where locations need to be established). The 5 found shots must be
acknowledged.
• a film sequence or short film of
approximately 2 minutes and containing between 10 and 25 different shots (some
of which may be repeated).
(iii)
Reflective analysis approximately 750 words or
equivalent (10 marks)
The
reflective analysis should select key micro features of the sequence and
demonstrate how they make meaning(s) and aim to provoke response(s) in
audiences.
The analysis
can be presented:
• as a continuous piece of writing, with or
without illustrative
material
• in a digital form such as a suitably edited
blog or another web-
based format
or
•
as a focused DVD commentary.
