Moodboards, mindmaps and adding to your Blog - Research and Planning Extras

Okay, blogs are still looking a little thin.  Here are some very simple ideas to consolidate your ideas onto your blogspot, weebly and wix accounts.

The above presentation talks about the technical elements of a specific type of film.  Here the students have looked at a range of films and talked about the technical elements: typical types of camera shots, editing style, mise-en-scene, sound, titles and narratives. 

I expect you all to do something like this - simply complete your PowerPoint and then embed it by uploading your content to slideshare or authorstream, both free to register and use online. Simples! 

MOOD BOARDS
Mood board taken from G321 student.

A mood board is a visual representation of your ideas.  If you are researching genre, you could create a number of mood boards, for example, a collage of movie posters related to that genre.  the mood board below represents a student's idea about what type of imagery and iconography they expect to see in a kidnap scene.

Whilst the blog post is not particularly detailed, there is a brief explanation of intention and I can acknowledge that they have thought about the genre by collecting a range of ideas and iconography.  What would improve this is a list of sources and films they've drawn inspiration from. In this example, they have made their own and then posted a picture of it online with an explanation.

PREZI

This is a useful tool to show a process or an idea.  I suggest you set up a free account and experiment using it.  The example below is a useful one because the concept is simple 'Developing a Title for our Film' and the logic is evident as the Prezi progresses.



Be creative and have fun!  Next assessment point is next week.
