Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment

When being in a open area, there will be many dangers and cautions we will need to look out for to prevent any occurrences before they happen. As we are going through our planning and researching stage of our production; we need to be organised meaning the risk assessment is a big must whilst being in this section of the project. The risk assessment is a structured process of evaluating the potential risks that may be involved in a projected activity or undertaking. This will be very important within this certain production as we are filming a thriller meaning more risks may occur to get the correct effect for the film e.g. some parts of the project will have to be shot in dark as it gives the thriller the right backdrop. Although, in dark conditions, more hazards will occur meaning we will have to be extra cautious. This assessment is a guide to mine and my groups safety meaning it is a very important factor of the researching and planning of the production. Most of the precautions are very dramatic but we needed to be open to all ideas of the risks which could happen to us whilst filming outside and inside for our production.

 

Being the examiner

Bonjour guys,
yes I know I am not an examiner but I thought I would try it out for a day... sad I know lol. Well within my lesson, we was given different videos to watch and a mark scheme with an aim to mark the different thrillers. I watched the productions and made a verdict on what grade they should of been awarded. Within my class, we awarded the thrillers much lower than the grade they actually was given. This was a surprise to us all and made us much confident on the grade we may get when producing our own film.


When given a level 4 (the highest grade) these are some of the aims the examiners are expected to see:

• material appropriate for the target audience task
• using titles appropriately according to institutional conventions
• using sound with images and editing appropriately for the tasks set
• shooting material appropaite to the task set, including controlled use of the camera, attention to framing, vartiety of shot distance and close attention to mise-en-scene

some examples of the videos we had to mark our listed below:

We awarded this clip the same grade that it was given, this was because the sound effects was at a high standard and so was he images. Also the material given within the production was appropriate meaning the audience was gripped to the storyline. This was a great piece.


This different clip wasn't up to the same standard  that the level 4 production was. The clip was still awarded a high mark which was surprising as it didn't have the best shots, control of camera or sound and images. This clip was awarded a level 2

How to make a thriller

Hey guys, 
as I am planning and producing a horror movie within my media course, I am researching as much information on how to create the best highlights and shots I can within my film. I found this video on YouTube very helpful to find the different effects I can use.
I will be uploading different secondary sources e.g. websites and YouTube videos to help me with my production.
