Feedback - Miss Spencer

You have written two reasonable evaluations David. Throughout you have noticed some of the conventions and discussed them. You have embedded the film and taken screen shots ot illustrate your points. However I would like a lot more detail as well as a lot more comment on why certain shots/angles/props etc were used. For example on the Sin City analysis you pick out establishing shots and over the shoulder shots, but you do not say what effect or why these were chosen.At the moment your work is still in a level 2 and I would like to see this improve. In order to do this I suggest you:
  • Add more detail to the analysis, commenting on the effect and why ecah element was used.
  • Although sometimes you have discussed conventions, and how this film fits into them, there are other times that you have mentioned an element and not highlighted it as a convention. I would like to make sure you spot all of them so that you can use this information when planning your own film.
  • At the start of the Descent analysis you could comment on why they chose not to follow conventions for the opening - what effect were they looking for on the audience?  
  • You should have at least four pieces of analysis by now, if you are struggling to get the work done in time I would appreciate it if you could talk to me about it.
