Feedback

Can you just add a summary comment on your audience feedback - identify the key strengths and any weaknesses that have been picked up?

You need to clearly label your feedback section Audience Feedback to distinguish it from mine. You also need to introduce the section with a short description of how you are going to obtain feedback. You also need to get the rest of your feedback and summarise it on your blog ASAP!

Please ensure you post an update on your progress and possibly even your rough cut with some observations about it. I am pleased you have your footage and a rough storyline - now work to make it even better please!

This has progressed a bit but is still quite weak in terms of its content - you need more research and analysis and where is your storyboard? It should be scanned in and added here? You need to go back over my feedback and develop some of your posts more.

• the analysis of the Lock Stock sequence - add comment on what you would like to use from this clip in yours?
• box office statistics - link to your project - why is this good news for your idea? what does it suggest about making this type of film?
• do you still need some examples of real institutions (production and distribution companies) who could make your project???

Planning is very thin, too - locations list - we need photos, as we do for your cast - both need comments on why they are suitable? You need risk assessments and evidence of your music choices and possibilities with reasons why...

This is still worrying me, as is your lack of footage. This is worth 50% of your final mark this year and the effort must reflect this. Look at my entry on my blog to see where you should be up to.

There is some evidence of research but it still is a little skimpy.... look over what is required for the perfect blog and see what else you can add. Iknow it requires effort outside of lessons but it is worth marks... You still need to take note of some of the things I mentioned in my last feedback.

New comments:

• box office section - why is it vital to make a film in a genre that is popular? add brief comment.
• Guy Ritchie section - add some still images or video clips to illustrate?
• have you done an audience survey? have you defined your audience using GRASS and thought about what you can do to ensure your opening appeals to this group?

You need to get your planning on here as well and crack on with the filming. This is still not really what it should be and I don't want to see you lose marks but nor do I want to see you not getting on with the filming...

Dylan and Nick

Can you move your prelim task to the post reflecting on it? Ask Rachel how to do this?? OR move the content of the post evaluating it to where the task is and add a subheading????

Section on conventions: need to add more - what type of characters/stereotypes do we get in this type of film? what type of settings? what ideologies? what types of media language? You could also comment on the distinctive elements of the British action film and comment on why you are following this direction of the genre? Looking at your storyboard, you also need to talk about how your film is a hybrid - part action and part gangster/crime thriller and outline some of the conventions of the second genre and why hybrids are popular? Try and give some real examples of films in these categories too!

Target Audience - you need some examples of films with female protagonists; you also need to talk about what you will put into your film to gratify your target audience... have you done an audience survey????

I expect to see a lot more research on here by early next week!

Feedback

There is still nowhere near enough work on your blog.

For starters:

• you need to add a reflection on your prelim
• Lock Stock post - you need to add a comment on what you could learn or use from this clip

You also need some more opening sequences (aim for four in total) and analysis and reflection on them. You need some genre research and some research into your audience and institution. What you have done so far will not gain many marks, so please do something about this.

There has been nothing added to this recently - you MUST get your research done or you will sacrifice marks that no one can afford to give away. Research also leads to a better product!
