Completing Your Progress Log - B321 Controlled Assessment
You must ensure that your Progress Log is completed. This is to show what you have been doing during Research, Planning and Production time. It is a sort of diary recording what you have been doing each week, from researching and annotating the conventions used in real perfume adverts, to doing your market research, planning your advert, your photoshoot, your mock up and finally producing your own advert in Photoshop.
You have a hard copy of the document but I have also put a copy on Fronter.
This should really shown your progression through production time.
Due in on Monday 22nd January (draft).
The prompts below are just for guidance since you are all working at a different pace and in a slightly different order. For instance, some of you produced an early mock up but realised it wasn't working and started changing your ideas.
eg. Weeks 1 and 2: Initial planning: I decided to investigate (name of perfume) and found out that...
I discovered that ... (price range, target audience...)
I decided to do an advert for this perfume OR I decided to create my own perfume in the same style...
The name of the perfume is important: (name) makes you think of ...
My target audience is ...
I have looked at a range of bottles and existing adverts and I decided to...
I made a collage of bottles of perfumes aimed at my target audience and realised that...
I collected several existing adverts for a similar / for my perfume and found that several strategies are used:
Week 3: I looked more closely at a couple of perfume adverts and annotated them. I noticed that ...
Week 3: I started thinking about my own advert. I want to ...
Week 4: I created my mock up. In the end, I decided to do...
I received some feedback and as a result, I ...
I created a questionnaire to ...
Week 5: I organised my photoshoot. First, I did....
(what went well, what did not work out... How many useable photos did you end up with? Did you manage to produce what you wanted? Did you change your mind? etc)
Week 6: In photoshop, I started to assemble all the elements of my advert.
(IN WEEK 7, YOU WILL EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU WORKED IN PHOTOSHOP, WHAT THE RESULT WAS AND WHAT FEEDBACK YOU RECEIVED. WHAT DID YOU DO AS A RESULT TO COMPLETE YOUR FINAL ADVERT?)

The bill shots from Hélène Galdin-O'Shea
I have chosen to analyse slide 1, featuring 4 different shots.
1. What seems to be happening:
e.g. The four shots depict a dramatic scene in which some characters appear to be held hostage, or at least are victims of some attack.
2. Describe each shot (including mise-en-scene) using correct terminology and explain how meaning is constructed (or effects created for the audience).
eg. Shot 1 is a two-shot from a slightly low angle which emphasises the tension between the two characters. All characters seem to be sitting on the floor as can be seen from the low angle revealing the bottom of a window. We can see the top of the head of a couple of other characters which suggests that they are crouching, possibly in fear for their lives.
In terms of composition, the character on the left is more prominent and dominant compared to the other character, suggesting that he is the one holding the power. This is also reinforced by the second character's facial expression which shows distress, whilst the first character shows either hatred or anger. Low key lighting is also used to add to the threatening atmosphere, creating menacing shadows on the antagonist's (or villain's) face. The shot is crowded which creates a harsh and dangerous atmosphere. The fact that the window seems out of reach reinforces the idea that the characters are trapped.
