Medal: All your posts are at a very good standard. You've used images and video clips effectively and demonstrated the ability to keep to the interim deadlines and to produce your research evidence on time. You have shown how you have responded to your feedback and what efforts you have made to improve.
Mission: It would be good if you could have some more, real images of actual studio logos, as the exam board have requested. It may also be an idea to have the title sequence that we analysed for 'Skyfall' on the blog and your awareness of the correct order of titles.

Task 8: Casting
I asked Lauren Cannon to act in my film because she has previous acting experience and I have worked with her many times before, which eliminated any awkwardness when I had to direct her and enabled me to be more efficient with my filming. Her costume consisted of a plain, smart white shirt. The colour of the shirt connotes innocence which is a main theme in my film. With the shirt, she had light grey trousers and black shoes. I decided that monochrome colours would be best for the costume of my antagonist because it doesn't reveal much about the character's personality, which given her an element of mystery. This interests the audience, making them want to learn more about her character.

Task 7: Role Allocation
A writer writes the screenplay of a film, creating the plot of the film and writing the character's dialogue. Screenwriters have a highly competitive job and it is usually a difficult profession to get into. Writers create scripts that are pitched to producers at film studios who decide whether it would be profitable to produce the film.
The composer is responsible for writing the music scores for the production. This could include non-diegetic music and the theme song of the film.
A camera-person operates the camera as instructed by the director. They capture footage of the actors using the camera angles and shots specified by the director. Camera-persons are also often responsible for constructing and deconstructing the cameras at the start and at the end of filming. They have the responsibility of ensuring the camera remains in focus and is capturing the action in the way required.
The role of the head of casting is to select actors to play the characters in the film. They would audition several potential actors for each role, asking them to act out an extract from a script or to do a screen test so they can see their suitability for playing that role.
The producer is an individual (although there are often multiple producers) responsible for the completion and quality of the project. Producers are often in charge of controlling the film's budget and are involved in all aspects of the film's production.
Film directors direct the actors to perform in a certain way and their creative vision shapes the entire film. Directors are usually under the control of the producers, despite their power and important role in the making of the film. Directors decide on the pace of the film, the locations, the camera shots, the lighting used and how the music and sound coincides with the footage.

Task 4: The Pitch: Film Synopsis
The film is centered around a female young adult who was inspired by the Greek Goddess Persephone. The female protagonist is shown to be interested in plants as she creates a scrapbook filled with pressed flowers, drawings of plants and carefully copied extracts from biology and gardening books. The opening sequence consists of a flashback following the antagonist as she walks by a church. The voice over is from the present and indicates that the night of the flashback being shown was the setting for a murder. The antagonist is being interviewed in the voice over and denies charges of murder, quoting the bible and constantly mentioning secrecy. The rest of the film will follow the trial of the antagonist, exploring secrets, searching for the truth and the real events of that night.
The film is entitled "Sub Rosa" which is an adjective for something that is happening or done in secret. This is central to the plot of the film as the antagonist is obsessed with secrecy.
