The Edge
Grading: In my opinion, The Edge was an A Grade piece of work. I have judged it at this level due to the fact that it includes fundamental aspects that this standard of work should entail. This included, great variety in shots as well as demonstrating a clear and high level of creativity throughout the sequence. Above all, I thought the use of typography in this sequence was particularly effective and thus resulting in a high grade. In contrast, I thought the trailer for Revenge was at a much lower grade of C/D. I believed it to be on the boundary of these two grades due to the fact that the creativity shown is very basic. In addition, I thought they struggled to highlight key conventions of their film genre (horror) in the opening sequence. Most importantly, the use of ICT was limited in this sequence which made it very difficult to achieve a high grade like The Edge.
Learning comment: From this particular piece of research i have developed my ideas on how to shoot my own opening sequence. This is through the careful consideration of things such as camera shots/techniques as well as use of sound - which i have identified as being crucial to a successful opening sequence through the research during this task. In addition, i feel that this research has given me the opportunity to discover what other A Level students have produced and how they have been graded. This has been of great help to me because i am now aware of how to achieve a high grade in this practical aspect of my coursework. Above all, I found it very helpful how I was grading these pieces myself. This helped because it allowed me to understand how higher grades are achieved and will allow me to think about what I need to include in my opening sequence to try and achieve a high grade.
