Sound video feedback and learner response

Video feedback/learner response


1) Type up your feedback from your teacher.

WWW:
-monochrome images
-parallel images
-good contrast
-well chosen images
-good timing/ editing and tempo
-very good description-keywords

EBI:
-follow instructions: exporting and uploading etc.

2) Type up your feedback from fellow students - you can summarise key points if several students give you similar feedback.

WWW:
-good use of images
-good parallel and contrapuntal sound
-good editing and timing
-good description of montage

EBI:
-upload on time
-export properly and double check it
-could add transitions between images

3) Now reflect on your work and write your own evaluation of your video. Write a 'What went well' (WWW) paragraph and a paragraph for 'Even Better If' (EBI) underneath the rest of your feedback.

WWW: I believe that my usage of parallel and contrapuntal sound in this task was great due to the strong link in parallel images of pop art with the pop music and the contrapuntal images of darkness in black and white opposing this idea of pop and brightness. I also think the images in the montage were clearly timed within the editing and my description of my montage used a lot of keywords and media language.

EBI: I think apart from the issues that came with uploading the video, within the video itself I maybe could have used some of my own images or even added transition effects and animations between each of the images to make the montage run more smoother. I also should have double checked the video after uploading it to make sure the links fitted and were available to be seen in class.

4) Learner response: compare your own video against your evaluation of the top three videos in the class. Whose did you think was best and why? How could you have improved your own video?

I think the top 3 were Kaye's and Sanjivani's and also Tara's videos because they all had really great images/videos that were mostly their own and Kaye and Sanjivani's videos were edited greatly because they had good transitions between each of their images as well as a clear contrast between parallel and contrapuntal sound and images and so did Tara with her videos. I could have improved by adding smooth transitions as well to further emphasise the elegance behind the violin as part of the sound track.

5) Finally, what have you learned about the importance of sound to film and TV through this week's work?

I have learned that sound really sets the scene of a film as well as also creating a certain mood for the audiences to match and it sort of shapes the opinions that audiences set on scenes as well as characters who may be seen in the frame while the music is playing (non-diegetic sound) or even when the characters are speaking - their dialogue (diegetic sound) may help audience members to establish their opinions, judgements and first impressions on characters that they are watching. Voiceovers (non-diegetic sound) can also have an effect on audiences as they interpret what may happen in a scene and allow the people watching to see a different angle of the scene in which they may find other views or see another point of view. So, overall I think sound is one of the main key features in film and TV due to it's significance in influencing audiences decisions on their impressions of TV characters and scenes in film and TV.

Finished recreation video scene

Link to original: (0:22 - 0:54) https://youtu.be/e8_Z7-97mIw Link to my video:  https://youtu.be/jYYWVSgewmY 100 word explanation: Me and my friends decided to recreate an iconic scene from Gossip girl where one girl being rude to another girl by not inviting her to the biggest party of the year. They girls wear sophisticated outfits to show that they are living their successful lives in the upper class world and to emphasise their class. There is also non-diegetic sound playing in the background, which creates tension and adds to the drama in the scene. The facial expressions of the girls reveal the personalities of each of the girls, which can also be seen by their behaviour in the scene.

Parallel and contrapuntal sound practical task

 My video link: https://youtube.com/shorts/UEMq9-koHfQ Description: I did a montage of images under the violin version of a pop music sound that connoted elegance with the violin sound but also brightness, confidence and happiness due to it being a pop music sound. This genre often emphasises excitement and energy into a media text. The first couple of images in my video are contrapuntal to the sound used as they are in black and white so they connote depression, sadness, and gothic vibes, which contrasts the sound and the following images of pop art and colourful pictures that are more parallel to the music playing in the background.

Mise-en-scene recreation planning

Mise-en-scene recreation - full task list: Create a blogpost called 'Mise-en-scene recreation planning' and complete the following tasks: 1) Get into groups of up to four. Note: although the planning and filming can be done as a group, all students  MUST  edit their  OWN  version of the chosen scene. Make a note of who you are working with. Done with my friends (group of 4 including myself) 2) Create a  plan  of how you will do the recreation using  CLAMPS . For each aspect of mise-en-scene, work out how you will recreate it as accurately as possible to the original.  PLAN: Costume- the characters on the steps are wearing classy outfits and look sophisticated as they are the ones who are in control in this scene. The character of Jenny is wearing pink clothing, which shows how girly she is and how she aspires to be like the girls on the steps. Lighting - scene is in broad daylight in front of everyone at a public place. Actor placement, movement, ...
