Media Studies Talk

Media Studies Talk - Pete Fraser

Today, we were asked to go to the assembly hall as Pete Fraser came into to talk to all of the Media Studies students about the course and to give us some tips about the course and how to get the most marks possible. The man that came in talked about top tips, like actually knowing what a opening scene is, not getting confused with a trailer or short film. Also, Pete showed us some students past film openings and we the as a group would discuss why the film opening was given the grade it was awarded and what its strengths and weaknesses were.

All together we were shown four film openings from four groups, between the film opening all of the groups were awarded a level 1, 2, 3 and 4. Pete also gave us a top tip that was to improve every little thing we can, this is because all little things that are made better all add up to a big difference which could end up getting us a better grade. Lastly, Pete recommended that we checked out this website - http://www.artofthetitle.com/ - This is because they give of a lot of film opening and text on how to use titles in the opening and what makes them the most effective and how to create a good level film opening.
