Francesca Bjorkengren Research – low-level 3 • Magazines codes and conventions – I think more detail is required here. For example, you should consider the use of font and the size of text (what patterns do you notice?), what type of cover lines tend to feature? What about text placement? What about colour schemes? Consider the branding of the main film featured? Is it evident? • Poster conventions – Same type of thing; you need to highlight a little more. For example, placement of billing block, use of font styles and sizes, images, film branding etc… • Pitch ideas and survey – you need something to explain what this post is and what purpose the survey will serve. • Survey Results – you need a conclusion that outlines your decision as to what film you have decided to make and why. • Trailer narratives – you have looked at three films. I think it would be beneficial for you to provide some commentary on how your findings will influence the narrative of your own trailer. It would also be beneficial to see you applying these findings to your own trailer concept. • Audience Profile for ‘Her’ – I think your psychographic groups are off. I don’t think this was aimed at ‘mainstreamers’ or ‘strugglers’ – I think the concept is a little too abstract for these groups. You are looking more at ‘explorers’ and maybe ‘reformers’. Planning – level 3 • Script – seems short. It should incorporate not just the dialogue but also the action. I would suggest creating a second draft with more detail and commentary about what you have changed etc… • Wardrobe – can you include comparisons and explanations for any costume decisions made? The ‘further research’ post is a little too brief to really be considered ‘research’. OVERALL – Level 3 (14/20). You have a wide range of post here and there is some sense of progression and journey. You would benefit from making the amendments listed above as your posts can sometimes be a little basic and lacking in depth/detail. Try and ensure that all decisions logged are justified and that you are making regular reflections on your work.
