Targets - 

Be far more explicit about your examples - perhaps stick yo one paragraph per micro element rather than retelling the story  as you are too descriptive.

Incorrect terminology - revise low angle and high angle shots.

Missed out editing totally.
Mock Feedback 

Amy is a stereotypical teen.  This is shown by the clothes she wears.  She is wearing baggy jeans while the rest of the cast are wearing smart farm workers attire.

Re-done

Amy is a stereotypical teenager which is shown by her bright coloured clothing .  She is wearing baggy jeans and  while the rest of the cast are wearing smart farm workers attire. This shows that she is younger from the bright yellow clothing that she is wearing.




Re
The Representation of Disability in 'Coming Down The Mountain'
One way in which disability is shown in this clip with the use of a wide angle shot showing the two brothers in a camp sight. The wide shot shows you the  brothers standing together with the younger one slightly tilted and that his clothes are too small for him which indicates that he might have a disability.
Disability is stereotyped in this clip through the use of shot reverse shot which shows he contrast between the two brothers. Another way how disability is shown is through the use of mise-en-scene and how the younger brother is very cheeky in this case he moves his eye brows up and down.
One way in which the editing can represent disability is through use of long takes and how the power has changed roles which causes the audience to feel uncomfortable as of now the younger brother has started to question the older brother in why he lied about sleeping with a girl.

Through the use off lighting the older brother is only half lit from the fire whilst the rest of his body/ face is in shadows whereas the younger brother is fully lit and you are able to see him clearly. This can show that they both have different personality's. This can also show that the older brother is trying to hide something that he wants to keep secret from people.

Another way in which down syndrome is represented in this clip is through the use of mise-en-scene. The younger brother is seen to cheeky through the use of his facial expressions in which he moves up and down suggesting something to his older bother. This represents people to have down syndrome to not know expressions of other people which could come across to be uncomfortable.

Location shoot at Hayling Island

On Friday the 23rd we went down to Hayling Island in Pourtsmouth to start filming. We Went out at 11:30 on the beach to start filming the scenes that we had planned from our story board.  We started by looking though our story board  to see which shot we should start on and how we should go along doing so.  
This is the beach in Hayling Island that we shooting our first scene in. We then started filming the first parts of  film following our storyboard. 

We ended up doing one of the shots of our actor walking down the beach at least 10 times because we wanted to make sure that we could get it right.


This is a behind the scenes photo of us filming the close ups that we need to make the audience feel awkward because of all the close ups of our actors face, eye and wind blowing in the wind. We used a tripod to get these closeup shots because we wanted a still and steady shot.

We would always watch the clips back on the L.E.D screen on the camera being able to see if the actor is too far away or close and to see if things are in or out of focus.

Then when we were done filming all the clips at the beach we went back to the grandparents house and starting to film the sections in where Chester moves to his Grandparents because his parents have just passed away.  We tried out different shot types like one were i was sitting in the car and I filmed looking through but It was hard because there was a bar in the way which the camera kept wanting to focus on. So I decided to go inside the car boot itself so I can get the actor opening the boot and taking out his belongings. 

We then started to film shots with the grandpa and him coming out of the car and then going into the  house.  We needed to do this shot a few times because most of the shots were out of focus or we would miss something that we didn't do in the clip before.  Then we entered the house with the grandpa saying 'Your room is upstairs on the left' which is our first sot

Transformers Age Of Extinction 
Production
Series History -  
-Transformers (2007)
- Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
- Transformers: Dark of the moon (2011)
- Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)

Transformers Age Of Extinction was Directed by Michael bay, and produced by Don Murphy.

Age of Extinction is the tenth highest-grossing film world wild as well as the highest grossing film of 2014.

The production Budget was $210 million .



Transformers released an app on May 8 surrounding the film available for iOS and Android devices, allowing users to access exclusive material such as character biographies, images, and interviews with the stars.



Distribution and marketing




Age Of Extinction cost no more than 3 - 5
million to market to Chinese moviegoers a big contrast to the $100 million prints and advertising spent in North America.

Transformers has a website showing videos, photos and facts about the characters. They also show that there is an app available for download. 

A website has said that ‘Iron Man 3,'” have catered to the Chinese market with local premieres, the casting of Chinese actors and even extra scenes shot specifically for that audience. But “Transformers” was clearly a joint effort from its Chinese and American producers from the start.
   
Transformers teamed up with Hasbro to be able to make Transformers Age Of Extinction toys for ages 5 +.  This is a good marketing technique to use because children will go and see the film and then they will want to play with the play as their favourite characters in the film meaning they will spend money in order to buy a Transformer toy.



Transformers was shown on  4,233 theatres all around the world. Released only in 3-D and IMAX 3-D, the sci-fi film accounted for approximately 57% of all screenings nationwide.  On 30th September 2014, the film was released on DVD, Blu-ray, in the USA and Canada, and 17th November in the UK. The film is also available to buy on iTunes at £9.99 for SD and £13.99 for HD.
