Feedback - Miss Spencer

There is some great work here Kirst, you have laid all of you work out neatly, and the embedded film openings and screen shots help to illustrate your points and make your blog look interesting. There is some detail in your work, noticing elements of Sound, Mise en Scene and Camera Movement, angles and framing. You have also clearly understood the differences in the genres, but sometimes I would like you to be a little more explicit. Remember that you can use this research to help plan your own film opening. At the moment your work is just hovering around the level 2/3 border, but in order to gain a more secure level 3 I would suggest you:    

• Make some more comments on the editing, how does it differ from genre to genre?  
• Ensure that if you mention an element (e.g. bright sunny day, feel-good music etc) that you also discuss whether or not this is a convention of the genre, and add more comments on the intended effect on the audience.
• Remember DISTINCT (Don't, Ignore, Setting, Technical Code, iconography, Narrative, Characterisation, Themes)I don't feel like I have read much about Iconography in particular, and characterisation is a little thin!
