Memento - Films in Class/ Film Club

Title: Memento Genre: Drama/Mystery/Thriller Today in class we watched Memento. It is about a man that has lost his memory after a burglary gone wrong that seemingly lead to the death of his wife. From this film I learned about the use of flashbacks and how much information you can give to the audience via these flashbacks. From the film I was inspired by the use of flashbacks. With each flashback, you thought you'd learn more, but you actually got a lot more confused than you were and had to wait till the end for the film to make total sense. I really enjoyed it though! And perhaps flashbacks could be considered in out opening sequence when we actually make one!

Tron - Large Scale Film Research


In my second media class, we were asked to research all of the new technologies that are used to make a recent film. The film that I chose was Tron, which I found to be a really impressive film, mostly because of the special effects and awesome costumes.

Assignment #8: Teacher Assessment.

Assignment #8: Self Assessment.


ASSESMENT OF ASSIGNMENT 8 : Individual Presentation.
Self Assessment:        
In this assignment, I think WWW was…
- The use of Prezi for my presentation
- Well labelled images that were relevant to what I was saying. 
- When I presented it to my class, I was loud and clear and they had no trouble understanding me. 

In this assignment, it would have been EBI...
- If I'd learnt my opening sequence through and through, as when I was asked to explain it, I lost confidence in my idea and didn't convey what it was all about properly.
Record of Grade:        
In this assignment I would have graded myself with a grade C because I had good images, but didn't draw my own storyboard and I didn't explain my idea very well. I received a grade D+.
Targets to improve:    
To improve on this assignment I need to add more detail and screen shots from films. 
Be entirely comfortable with my idea before presenting it. 

Teacher Assessment: 
(see above)
Peer Assessment: 
(see above)
Any additional drafts: 
This is the edited draft, as with the first draft, I had an issue presenting it as the background colours and the text colours were too similar. I couldn't work out how to save the amendments as a new presentation, so had to save it over the old copy.
