Research and Planning- Marking

Lewis only has three images on his mood board which doesn't really allow him to get a feel for the genre which was the point with this post. He made some interesting points about the stills. 

Lewis' questionnaire and feedback was thorough but some of the questions like question 2 were strangely put and open which would surely make effective results difficult.

Lewis' brief described his opening rather than giving a more general overview of his film idea.

Lewis' post on health and safety demonstrated an understanding of institutional processes. I liked his post on the BBFC but his comment about parents allowing their children to watch 15s bringing in more money seemed to miss the point a little.

His posts on problems, picking location and change of plan, showed a willingness to adapt and react to problems that were thrown up during the filming process.

Lewis' post on psychographics and demographics was pretty thorough although he spent too much time talking about the Sun newspaper (anti-conservative??!!) rather than the kinds of films enjoyed by particular social groups. He did eventually drill down into the nature of his audience and how his reading of them would impact on his film.

You analysed the opening titles of Se7en but the whole film opening including titles could have been better. You attempt to explain the various types of film opening titles but you were wrong about narrative which does not need to use voiceover.

The post on posters was fairly superficial and there was no other attempt to tackle types of marketing or produce ideas for marketing

With regards Propp and Todorov, I don't understand why fate has a special role in psychological thrillers!

Shooting Schedule isn't there.

Planning and research evidence will be incomplete.
• There is minimal research into similar products and a potential target audience.
• There is minimal work on shotlists, layouts, drafting, scripting or storyboarding.
• There is minimal organisation of actors, locations, costumes or props.
• Time management may be very poor.
• There is minimal skill in the use of digital technology or ICT in the presentation.
• There are minimal communication skills.
• There is minimal care in the presentation of the research and planning.
