Discussion about Media videos

Today in class, we looked at previous Media students final products focusing on the Thriller genre. We looked at the weaker videos the previous week, giving us an idea about what should not be included and why they were the weaker products. We then looked at a mix of grades, the lower and the higher ones. We were asked to watch a groups final product and look at the mark scheme to give a mark/grade of what we think it got graded overall. I found this quite challenging because I didn't know the mark scheme that well and it proved to be a difficult task trying to award a grade to the videos. However, through the use of looking out for camera angles, mise en scene, editing and sound, it got a lot easier to grade their final products because it all linked with the mark scheme.

The first video that we watched was called Ellipsis and it was awarded 49/60 - Band 4

The second video that we watched was called Occult and it was awarded 56/60 - Band 4. I personally really liked this clip because it was different and unique compared to the ones I have seen so far. The non diegetic music in the title sequence really contrasted with what music you would expect in a  Thriller film, however it worked really well and it actually suited the type of genre.
