PART 1: Whole group feedback for 13A

The following weaknesses were identified in most responses:

• Discussion of specific conventions found in the film trailers studied
• How some conventions are particular to a specific genre
• How this influenced the planning and structure of your trailer i.e which conventions and which structure was essential to communicate the genre and persuade the target audience to see the film?
• Discussion of the film promotion industry (very weak in all essays) using the trailers studied as case studies
• Submission of synopsis, feedback and development into a treatment (changes made as a result of feedback)
• Pitch presentation and peer/tutor feedback (changes made)
• Formation of group and allocation of group roles and responsibilities
• Storyboarding, feedback and changes
• Scheduling and the challenges faced (changes made)
• Filming and planning - what did you learn i.e did you actually need those extra frames on the storyboard or was Mrs Ward winding you up with more pointless work?
• Logging shots and the paper edit - anything missing? Re-shoots or extra footage required?
• Feedback on work in progress (changes needed)
• Reflection on relationship between planning and construction
