T 8: With Alice, I have identified the primary traits of independent films. 

Independent films, identifying traits


  • Independent films are produced outside the major film studio system.
  • They are distinguished by their content and style and they are often made in the way of the filmmakers' artistic vision.
  • They are often made with very low budgets.
  • They often include only one main character.
  • They are thematic, facing a series of topics that conventional films don't take in consideration, such as prostitution, drugs, homosexuality, the family decadence etc.
  • Aesthetics include different formats and ideas; they use different techniques such as black and white, shiny colours etc.
  • Independent films are usually owned by individuals rather than corporations.

T 6: Film Brief

Below are the five slides that I used for my film brief.
We decided to do an independent one as it seemed most justifiable for school. 
Our story allows us to film each scene in the perfect environment, without having to compromise, as we only have access to the Gordonstoun campus. As our film is based in a school, thins makes it easy.

T 5: Second Jelly baby task

Above is my second Jelly Baby vidoe. We decided to go for the second thriller which has to have something to do withe a ghost in, as we decided, it would make the video more complex-ed  This video is about a jelly baby being hornted on a walk, and being watched by a monster from in the woods. the monster then jumps out and eats the jelly baby.

T 5: First Jelly baby task

Above is my Jelly Baby buying a hourse video, It is out of the comedy section of the task. We chose to go for comedy as it can be hard to take a Jelly Baby seriousely. We thought we would attempt something scary in our next video.
While making the vidoe I found it hard to model the plasetrcene, to make it look like what it was ment to represent. We made the story simple
1: consider buying horse
2:buy horse
3 ride horse
4:fall of horse
5: horse jumbs on  baby...

5 simple shots.
