This is my favourate track roght now, Cousins by vampire weekend. The reason why i like this song is because of the unstructured guitar solos that make a edgy and different sound than just regual pop that we see every day. The bass creates an irreagualr heartbeat that sticks into your head and makes your head move to the music.The lyrics in this song mashed together and dont make much sense but somehow you make it make sense to you, they make you fell happy, if a song cant do that then whats the point. 'Dad was a risk taker. His was a shoe maker. You greatest hits 2006, Little listmaker. Caught in the melody, You wait in the car. You were born with ten fingers And you're gonna use them all.' these words sepreatley would make no sense but add it to a catchy melody and you've got a great song maybe not to everyones taste but it's mine.

ReplyDeleteNot only a superb song choice but a brilliant explanation of why you like the song. Good work Hannah.

ReplyDeleteYour idea sounds very interesting and potentially very unique and exciting, however I am struggling to envisage what you are going to create. Whilst not a massive fan of musicals I have seen a few classics and am conscious these are not the sort of films you wish to emulate.
To help me better understand the direction you wish to take with this opening could you include some of the following in your blog.
Could you explain whether the dance will be part of 'real life' i.e. like a traditional MUSICAL like West Side Story/Guys and Dolls where the world around joins in the song and dance routine

or
will it take place in a dance studio and be used as a juxtaposition to the violence/emotion in another scene. So the character will dance but not 'randomly' as they walk down the street.

An important point to remember is that all music MUST be copyright free. That means you cannot use an existing artists music.
Could you explain the plot in more depth, are we in the real world? are we in the UK? Who is the main character (male/female/teen/black/white etc). Is the death murder/natural causes/disease/accidental/tragic incident.
As I've previously commented on Jack's blog the only thing I can currently think of that is remotely close to your idea is 'Dancer In The Dark'

which features a main character who is slowly going blind and who uses the noise around her to create music

One of you may wish to ask Santa for this as its only £6
As your group blog doesn't allow comments I've had to put this on here.
ReplyDeleteWhilst by no means perfect the link(s) below to film blogs from students here at Lutterworth do give a good indication of the range and variety of posts that you need to include if you wish to get a level 4 or 3.

ReplyDeleteMr Ford has instructions on his blog regarding what must be completed by Monday's lesson. These instructions are:
"create a label list (this will make it easier for the examiner to navigate your blog)
make sure all posts are labelled correctly (labels for all practical should have G321 followed by planning, filming etc)
create a link list (you can then include links to similar sites)
add a link to: http://fordlcmedia.blogspot.com/2009/12/g321-as-foundation-portfolio.html which is the course schedule
read the schedule and make sure you are up to date
access this sheet (audience profile) via scribd http://lcasmedia.blogspot.com/2010/01/audience-profiling-sheet.html and complete.
upload your completed audience profile to scribd and embed in your blog.
create a short term (one week) to do list and add a to be completed by date (clearly identify who is responsible for what, remember although you are in a group you MAY NOT all get the same grade if we feel one member has not pulled their weight.)
It is really important that you don't fall behind. You all have a lot to do and a clearly defined period of time to do it in. You need to use your own time more productively to ensure all tasks are completed. The Media room is available after School and at lunch."
Currently your group blog is at level 2 (out of 4, 4 being highest and 1 lowest). You have a very strong idea and your actual pitch was excellent but the planning aspect of your blog is lacking. If you look on Emily's blog she has the run down on what makes a level 4 Blog. I have included a link to a high level 3 film blog beneath.
I believe that as a group you are capable of achieving a level 4 for all aspects, planning, production and evaluation but in order to do this you will need to divide tasks according to your own skills.
Good luck and I hope you get the grade you deserve.

ReplyDeleteYour going to have to create a new blog and copy and post your existing work over to it as it's still not possible to post comments on it. Having comments is essential, as part of the evaluation requires you to demonstrate appreciation of audience feedback. This is a very easy thing to do and will take seconds so isn't anything to stress about.
Next week is key as the WHOLE year will be editing and using camera's etc. If you've got access to Jack's Mac then make use of that, if you can get stuff onto YouTube then this will expand the potential for audience feedback.
When editing take photo's of the equipment used etc as the exam board like to see annotated pics of new technology used.
Finally, if you look on my blog it has links to evaluation activities from different schools. Try and be creative as possible, I think an audio commentary would suit your group best as you are all excellent at offering verbal feedback and often spark off one another.
