10 points about a past coursework

So for this I will be giving points from Evie's Slaughter Revenge.
...

...
  1. You must create your own company idents and Evie's idents are very realistic and look authentic and I feel like I will want to do something fairly similar like the modern slightly Sci-Fi.
  2. Her last ident had a diegetic audio bridge which is very common in horror movies.
  3. In the very first part of the actual film she has a chase scene and the short cuts are used to show that it is a very intense chase scene. 
  4. It then cuts to a pretty obvious greenscreen but its to show a movie is being filmed and it has been done by putting on a filter.
  5. After a while it cuts back and forth from what seems to be the victim and then someone tied up
  6. A GoPro has been used for a kind of first person view. 
  7. She has used a dutch angle to suggest something is off but also add to the suspense she has created with quick shots and suspensful music and creepy sound effects
  8. She has used effects that connote horror e.g. red colour, looks like blood when she announces all the names and companies in the beginning to create verisimilitude.
  9. She uses candle to create a more creepy feeling and adds to natural lighting.

Shot by shot denotation

This is the video we denotated shot by shot.
...
...
So for this video we divided the video into 3 and we all took 40 seconds each and denotated the shots in the part we had assigned to us. I had the middle section from around 1:07 to 1:47.

5 things I have learned about the coursework in AS level

1) I will need to research and watch film openings and know all the key conventions about a film opening such as actors names, directors names, company idents.
2)I will have to work constantly on this blog publishing posts as I track my progress with my film opening and research.
3)I will have to submit a creative critical reflection in which I use a presentation of some sort or a podcast and i will write/talk about different things such as how my skills have developed since the start of the coursework,
4) All the assessment objectives (AOs) you have to meet and what they imply: AO2, AO3, AO4. 
5)That you have to create your own company ident to create verisimilitude.
...
Here are the AOs and the evidence needed
