This lesson I have learnt about editing and watched clips featuring things my group are looking to include in out creative project.
Next lesson we are going to have a play around with the green screen to find out what we can do with it and what we cant, this will help us with our story board because we will be able to tell you what were filming and where and the time of day.

Editing Research
I've been watching clips relating the genre of our creative project, in order to gain some experience in the field of editing. Because our creative project has elements of several genre's I have been examining clips from movies that share elements with our idea.
For example the Anchorman scene with the hallucinations is something I could interpret and use in my creative piece due to the fact our video is centred around drugs and effects of use.
The next clip I watched was the drug scene in 21 Jump Street, this is relatable to our project and is helpful for our piece because we can take some of the ideas during the Hallucination scene as it is similar to our initial idea.
One of the techniques we can use is The Fade which is the scene fading away into another shot , resembling time passing since the last scene. This works both ways in the sense that you can fade into a scene but also out of one resembling the past, present or future of the film.

Assessment Criteria
INTERNAL ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA FOR FM1: EXPLORING FILM FORM
It is intended that the mark range for the unit as a whole should be as follows:
Level 4 64-80
Level 3 Upper: 56-63
Lower: 48-55
Level 2 Upper: 40-47
Lower: 32-39
Level 1 0-31
The analysis will be marked out of 30 with reference to the level descriptors below.
The creative project will be marked out of 50: the sequence, in whatever form, will be
assessed out of 40 and the reflective analysis out of 10.
Analysis of Film Extract (30)
The following level descriptors should be applied to the analysis.
Level/Marks AO2
Apply knowledge and understanding, including some of the common
critical approaches that characterise the subject, when exploring and
analysing films and when evaluating their own creative projects, to show
how meanings and responses are generated.
Level 1: 0 - 11 Candidates will give few indications that they have gained knowledge
and understanding of the micro features of the film they are
concentrating on and will tend to rely on 'common sense'.
There may be some reference to their chosen film but this will have no
clear analytical purpose.
There may either be little attempt at personal engagement or only a set
of personal statements that fail to demonstrate any learning.
Quality of written communication
Struggles to communicate clearly.
Level 2: 12-17
[12-14]
Candidates will show a basic ability to identify and describe specific
aspects of the micro features of film but, compared with work at higher
grades, knowledge will be insecure, generalised and with significant
inaccuracies.
There will be basic reference to the chosen film but only indicating
basic analysis.
Personal response may be strongly stated but be characterised by
description of personal feeling and unsupported assertion.
Quality of written communication
Basic ability to structure ideas and use appropriate language to
communicate.
………….............. …………………………………….............................................................GCE AS/A FILM STUDIES 33
[15-17] Candidates will demonstrate some ability to identify and describe
specific aspects of the micro features of the film they are concentrating
on.
This will be reflected in work that is generally accurate, though
inconsistent in its level of detail.
References to the detail of the micro features of film will sometimes be
clear but there will be a tendency toward imprecision.
Personal response may be strongly stated but lacking in any
conceptual focus on how meaning is made.
Quality of written communication
Some ability to structure ideas and use appropriate language to
communicate.
Level 3:
18-23
[18-20]
Candidates will demonstrate a sound knowledge and understanding of
specific aspects of the micro features of the film they are concentrating
on.
This will be reflected in their ability to refer in some detail and with a
generally high level of accuracy to particular films. This will be
supported by sound analysis of aspects of the micro features of film.
Personal response will focus on the process of making meaning(s) in
particular instances but may reveal limitations in broader conceptual
understanding or in interrogating the interaction between film and
spectator.
Quality of written communication
Soundly structured and reasonably accurate use of appropriate
language to communicate clearly.
………….............. …………………………………….............................................................
[21-23] Candidates will have a good knowledge and understanding of the
micro features of the film they are concentrating on.
This will be reflected both in their ability to refer in detail and with
accuracy to their chosen film and in their analysis of how micro
features produce meaning(s).
Personal response will show a competent appreciation of the
production of meaning(s) through the interaction of film and spectator.
However, compared with the very best candidates, more will be taken
for granted and a less exploratory approach will be adopted.
Quality of written communication
Well-structured and accurate use of appropriate language to
communicate clearly.
Level 4:
24-30
Candidates will be distinguished by an excellent knowledge and
confident understanding of the micro features of the film they are
concentrating on.
This will be reflected both in their ability to refer in detail and with
accuracy to their chosen film and in their analysis of how micro
features produce meaning(s).
Personal response will be characterised by a high level of analysis of
the production of meaning(s) through the interaction of film and
spectator.
The interaction between film and spectator will be perceived as
complex, subtle and resistant to simplistic assumptions.
Quality of written communication
Excellently structured and accurate use of appropriate language to
communicate clearly.GCE AS/A FILM STUDIES 34
Creative Project (50)
40 marks are awarded for the film sequence (extended step outline, storyboard or
film) and 10 marks for the reflective analysis. Reference should be made to the level

As no fractions are used, please note that the numbers used to achieve levels for the
two components are guidelines and are placed in square brackets […]. A
