Marking Criteria for Production

Ø Holding  a shot steady where appropriate- We achieved this in our opening by filming and framing a basketball going through the hoop several times from different angles, also from the basketball missing to emphasise that there is 2 different characters. We used a tripod to keep the shot steady.

Ø Framing a shot including elements where appropriate

Ø Using a variety of shot distances where appropriate- We achieved this by alternating the distances of how far we filmed the basketballers playing,  mainly to get an idea of the layout and the height difference of the players.  

Ø Shooting material appropriate to task set-I feel we met this point as the filming we have is suitable and entertaining for a PG/U

Ø Selecting mise-en-scene(costumes, colour, figure, lighting, setting)-this was met when planning and researching

Ø Editing so meaning is apparent to the viewer- Editing is not completed yet, it will be made apparent to the viewer by clear cuts, smooth transitions and background music!

Ø Using varied shot transitions- We still have to meet this point. We plan to use smooth but pace transitions to make the opening flow, and to introduce the film correctly. As we don’t introduce the characters faces at the beginning, we need to make it clear that they have different personalities and not confuse the audience.

Ø Using titles where appropriate- We are in the middle of creating titles to go with our opening sequence which will tie in satisfactorily with the theme. Lot of time will be spent on the titles to make them effective and to correctly flow in with the opening sequence.
