Further explanation of evaluation activities

Year 12,

Here are the answers to some FAQs I've received re: the evaluation activities:

I'm not sure what to include for Activity 3...

For this question, you can bring in some of the work you've been doing with Mr Bunce towards your summer exam. Consider the following:

• Research what a production company does.
• What is the idea of a distributor and why?
• Talk about your production company name/logo.
• Which existing institution would distribute it? e.g. Working Title, Film 4.
• Which films have they previously produced that are similar to yours?
• What genre is your film - how does this link to your chosen institution?
• How have you clearly established the genre through your film?
• Where might the money come from for your film? (May require research)
• Discuss the inclusion of the names in your titles (if any) - if there are none, explain why.
• Compare the titles to similar existing films.

You don't need to answer all of these questions in lots of detail, but you should address some of the ideas in your commentary/script.


Do I need to include pictures of myself holding the equipment for Activity 6?

Including yourself in the images shows evidence of your involvement in the production and your understanding of the technology. I would suggest including yourself in the images, but it's not essential.

Hope this helps! Remember to refer to the hand-out I created and also the example blog I provided for you.
