1A Paragraph Examples

Intention – We used.../We created.../We sought to ...

 At AS we researched the conventions of existing media texts to inform our own planning. 

Example – Through our use of .../We used the camera to ...

For example, we found Thriller have various character tropes such as the innocent victim, which is often portrayed through high angle shots and quick cuts to various close ups of key objects to connote fear. 

Impact – This enabled us to ... More authentic/awareness of genre/build suspense/create a convincing narrative

This was something we duplicated in our video, planning in high angle shots of the victim, cross cutting with the close – up footsteps of the criminal 

Change – At A2, there was a greater/more demand for/more diversity/a challenge in ...

However at A2 the emphasis was not on the emulation of the genre conventions but more the adaption of conventions to our own product 

Example – We now .../We used the camera to .../We deliberately edited ... for example in the scene ...

For example we found that many indie videos cut between close-ups of the artist’s skill and performance in conjunction with a film-based narrative, often surrounding the artist himself, for example John Smith’s ‘I Need You’ portrays a flashback narrative through the use of vintage-style filters. 

Impact – This changed as we were far more aware of .../We were now .../We realised ...

However, rather than emulating this, we sought to adapt it, so we maintained the cross cutting between performance and narrative, however we selected a brighter, more saturated colour filter to imply almost a cartoon-style effect in order to suggest the dreamlike qualities of the narrative, rather than aiming for the realism of traditional indie
