This was an introduction lesson to the coursework that we will be doing from now on. We found out that our coursework is going to be on video and what we are going to produce. We received two tasks. One was a continuity task which involved filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom he/she exchange a couple lines of dialogue. We were told that this extract should include match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180 degrees rule.
The main task was to construct the titles and opening of a new action film, to last a maximum of two minutes.
In both of these tasks the audio material must be original, produced by the candidate, with the exception of music or audio effects from a copyright free source.
We also looked over the marking scheme for the coursework. There were 100 marks in total which were distributed into three sections:
| Section: | Marks: |
| Research and planning | 20 |
| Construction | 60 |
| Evaluation | 20 |
In the second half of the lesson we saw the five minute opening scene to The Dark Knight directed by Christopher Nolan. We were given four questions to answer while we watched the scene:
- What can you see and hear in the clip?
- What is the main purpose of the opening sequence?
- How does it link to what is to come?
- How does it aim to catch the viewers attention?
