On the 20th March the media department had a showcase where all the AS opening sequences and all the A2 music videos are shown. Yasmin didn't come so it was just Morgan and I again. I spoke about it before we showed it to everyone, and afterwards we gathered feedback.

We came in again to continue editing, this time focusing on titles.
The problem that we spoke about regarding that one title that wouldn't move we eventually fixed by using a very straightforward solution, pressing enter to bring it a line down. Honestly that frustrated me as we spent so much time trying to fix it when the solution was simple.

Direction
In the park we didn't know exactly what we were going to do, just that we would be walking around and having fun. As mentioned in the "Script" post we did this to make it more natural.
While filming the scenes of the detective, we just asked him to watch the videos and skip some of it to represent that this isn't the first time he is watching it so he can skip parts.
We also made sure that he stayed somewhat still as we didn't want to show his face. The fact that he is young and a student is something the audience should figure out later in the film so we didn't want to give that part away in the opening sequence.
There were also parts without the detective where the camera just panned around the set to show all his work.

Section B
Section B was about how internet helped with a films marketing and communication. I used three case studies:
Captain America: Civil War (2016)
Paranormal Activity (2007)
The Interview (2014)
For Captain America I spoke about how if a fan tweeted #TeamIronMan or #TeamCap they would receive a video from the films twitter account of a cast member agreeing or disagreeing with their choice. This is because it engaged fans which made them excited to watch it.
Paranormal Activity used Eventful.com and fans would demand the film in an area near them. This created 'hype' around the film and once it hit over one million demands Paramount revealed that they would expand the film to cinemas.
The Interview was my negative case study on how internet does not always help. The film was marketed and purchased online, but torrent sites got a hold of it and it was viewed illegally millions of times, creating no profit.
I was also going to talk about 'Shawshank Redemption' (1994) but I didn't know enough about it. I started the paragraph but realised I was waffling on and it didn't really make sense so I crossed it out.
Along with these case studies I used quotes and figures to prove why my statement was correct. I think I have done better in Section B than Section A because I knew in-depth information about the films.

Section A
Section A was asking about Gender representation in an extract of Sherlock Holmes episode 1 season 1. I spoke about the four main elements, mise-en-scene, cinematography, camera work and editing, however halfway through I remembered that the question was about gender, so I had to go back and link my points to gender representation. I know that my lack of paying attention to what the question was asking will bring my grade down and it has taught me to always stay focused towards the question.
Overall thoughts
On 10th March 2017 we had our media mock, which consisted of the June 2016 questions.
Overall I believe it went well, however for Section A I lost sight of what the question was asking but I managed to link my sentences to the representation at the end.
For Section B I knew straight away what case studies I would use for the particular question.
