Being the examiner

So in today's lesson we had the task of being the examiner for some previous media projects, we were given a mark scheme and looked at what each level required and then watched a few examples. Doing this was a lot harder than I expected, and on one or two of the examples we watched I marked them a lower level then they actually was. However,this task was one that really helped me this is because it did make me feel a lot more confident for when it comes to filming our thriller video because now I know that it's not as hard as I thought to get a good grade.

here are some of the ones we watched: 

This was the first one that we watched and I think that the editing on this clip was the best out of all the ones that we watched, and the sound was really effective throughout and made it scary. However without the great use of sound and special affects I don't think that the clip would be very thrilling for me, so for this reason I thought that it would be a high level 3, however it was a level 4 and scored 48/60 by the real examiner which didn't really surprise me because you can easily tell that a lot of effort was put into it.  

On this opening I gave it a high level 3/4 I particularly like the shots from behind showing a silhouette of him, however I think that it would have been creepier if you didn't already see his face because it would add to the mystery of to why he was doing what he was doing. I also really liked the music used during the shot from behind because I feel like it really built up the tension. However I feel like it was seen as a bit comical due to the close up of the socks, resulting in it being less scary. The mark it was given by the real examiner was 56/60 which was a level 4.




For this opening I gave it a level 2/3, I was really surprised when it got 47/60 because it was said that it looked more like a trailer then an opening to a movie, I also thought that some parts didn't match, such as it being night time and then dark.

these were all the examples we watched, thank you for reading and ill see you on my next post!
