Changes & Filming

  • I have decided to change the layout of my opening, by introducing the characters and their links to each other in a more obvious manner. Before, my opening did not show any connection between characteras or that 2 of them were even at school. In addition to this, i have decided to use younger actors/actresses in order to improve verisimilitude/ realism and conform to the codes and conventions of childrens tv drama- something i didn't do before.
  • By making my titles more interesting (colour and movement) i will find it easier to engage a younger audience and i will also be improving my 'after effects' skills, something i struggled with and needed to vastly improve on last year.
  • Also, by making my childrens TV Drama opening shorter i will be more successful withing keeping a younger audience engaged (questionaire results).
  • So far, my biggest challenge has been in the technical aspects of my coursework. However i am learning to work better with the programmes (premier pro etc).
  • I will be taking out the still of the school sign as it will be unclear to those not familiar with the school as to what it is. The action/ editing will have a faster pace and the settings and character will be introduced in a more obvious manner.
