8mm Montage (FINISH)

What is 8mm Montage and Why is it Use?

 The use of montage in film has been used for decades, it creates many creative outcomes which all have a different effect on the audience. The use of 8mm film or a 8mm film look using post production can create a nostalgic home movie aesthetic which connects with the audience and allows them to engage more with the content being shown to them. If creating the home family movie look using post production the use of layers of film damage to give the footage a more vintage, nostalgic look, this is an experimental approach which could produce some creative content. The use of 8mm film footage could be a good way to suggest to an audience the narrative is non-linear and they are telling a narrative happening in the past. The approach gives a very creative narrative which keeps the audience engaged without being too confusing to follow. The use of a montage sequence allows use to reveal a large amount of information in a short amount of time allowing the narrative to move along smoothly.

Evaluation of Development of Practical Skills Across Course

Throughout this year I believe I have been able to learn a variety of practical skills which will benefit me when working in a professional environment. I have been able to evidence communication with my clients, completing health and safety protocols, setting up lighting and camera equipment to a standard acceptable to a client, completing promotional work to a standard acceptable to a client, completed all pre-production and idea generating work to a standard acceptable to a client and I have also justified my design methods across all the units I have undertaken.  Communicating with Client When completing units which involve completing work for a client I made sure to deal with the unit in a professional manner as if I was working in a professional environment. For example when completing my promotional video, I made sure to set up a video call every Friday in which I would show the client all the work I had produced so far each week, within that call I would gather feedback fro...

Many of these theories were derived from Sigmund Freuds work (McLeod, 2007).

Production Schedule

I have also added a progress tracking feature which I will update every Monday which will show you how much progress I have made with completing each individual task. Currently, I have placed my target dates to start and finish each item on the schedule however, I will amend the schedule to show what I have actually been able to produce in the timeframe set. Gantt Chart No.1 Gantt Chart No.2  We made some progress this week. We are behind schedule in some aspects however we have time to catch up. We have made great progress in the communication aspect with both the client and the target audience. We seem to be fairly on schedule with the planning aspect of the brief.  Gantt Chart No.3  Currently, I have completed 3 tasks, I am in the process of completing another 7 tasks which have been started....
