Rule Of Thirds



We, as media professionals, will be using the rule of thirds alot. It's a method of positioning the shot so you catch all

  1. Luke - you haven't been keeping up and have a lot to do - at present you would not get a pass for your blog as there is very little evidence of research and planning. You must have completed all these posts by January:

     Post research and summaries of the thriller genre
     Post summary of conventions for opening of a film – re: camera, editing, narrative, mise-en-scene, sound, etc
     Post still images and comment on the suitability of mise-en-scene elements for a thriller – e.g. settings, costumes, props, etc
     Upload your prelim to your blog. Post an evaluation of your prelim task – strengths, areas for improvement, what you learnt, etc.
     Research ONE institution involved in producing / distributing thriller films. Choose a suitable institution for your thriller – reasons? Post your findings on your blog.
     Write a questionnaire to explore your audience’s expectations of the genre, distribute it and analyse the results – post copies of questionnaires and results on blog
     Explain how your audience research will affect your production
     Write 3 potential pitch ideas for openings; include visuals – powerpoint – refer to mise-en-scene, sound, locations etc. Justify with audience research.
     Record your target audience’s reactions to your pitches
     Explain the rationale behind the idea you have chosen to develop into the finished product; concentrate on justifying your choices in terms of your audience research and knowledge of the conventions of the thriller genre.
     Write a 250 word treatment, outlining your proposals for your opening.
     Post copies of storyboards and shooting scripts
     Post and explain images to justify mise-en-scene details
     You should refer to your audience research in order to justify your planning and ideas.
     Record details of how the shoot / editing went – things that went well / problems + how you overcame them etc.

  2. Luke - still alot left to do - very little in the way of evidence for planning of your production.

    It's vital that you complete this to secure a pass on this area of the production
