  Film & TV Language index Keeping an index of all your work is extremely good practice from a revision perspective. Not only does this keep the concepts and media terminology fresh in your mind but it will also highlight if you've missed anything through absence. Your index should currently include the following: 1) Film poster analysis 2) Mise-en-scene analysis blog tasks 3) Mise-en-scene video recreation and learner response 4) Lighting analysis blog tasks 5) Sound practical task 6) Sound: parallel and contrapuntal video feedback and learner response 7) Sound analysis blog tasks  

  1) -Needs some clips added - video not embedded  2) -Good song choice to match the nature scenery  -Good variety of photos -Photos contrast well -transitions were good -no watermarks -found images 3) WWW- Smooth transitions added -Good contrapuntal images -High res images -Clear contrast  EBI - Use videos - Own videos and pictures would be preferrable - No description 4) I think the best video was Sapphire's as she had included high res images and videos, had taken videos and photos with a camera rather than a phone, good use of sound as it was parallel to the images and a very detailed description. 5) What I have learnt from the importance of sounds is that they determine the narrative of certain scenes whether they are humourus or serious.
