Research and Planning essay

Research and planning In AS media the research and planning I did plenty of work in preparation for the film opening itself. The kind of preparation that I did was answering questions from ‘’The Art of The Title’’ some of the questions that we answered were questions like what is the function of a title and Select another film title that shows a story. Answering questions like this helped us because we then knew what we were required to do in our own title sequence. One more thing that we done in our research and planning was a questionnaire this was necessary and helped us because then we knew what kind of film opening that the public wanted and which film opening would be the most successful.

We researched the male gaze, Tordorov and Reception theories this helped us because we knew if we wanted to follow media convention or go against it. We also researched about some Budgets of films we researched a high budget film and low budget films to see what the differences is and how they utilised there budget. One more piece of planning and research that we done was camera angles of certain film openings this helped show us the range of camera angles that we could use.

The research and planning that I did had some strengths and weaknesses. Looking at mine in comparison to other research and planning that was done by my classmates and the media class that was done before I could make a good judgement on what I done good and bad. The things that I feel are my strengths in research and planning was the detail I went into the things that I done like the theories and the ‘’Art of the Title ‘’ I really tried and explain everything fully. The weakness that I feel that I have is not doing enough planning and research. This meant I wasn’t fully prepared for the filming of the film opening and it also meant I dropped some marks. For this year how I plan on being better and getting my research and planning mark-up is to fully complete all of my research and planning whilst putting as much detail in them as I did last year. How I will do this is by devoting more time to my media work.
