End of Module 1: Evaluation.

The reasoning behind the level I have given myself is due to the planning and research I have posted onto my blog is incomplete, however the information I have posted are detailed and in my own words. My research into the thriller genre is detailed to an extent but could be improved by including visual examples of some of the thrillers I have watched in my own time. 

My time management was poor to be honest, however I intend to put in extra hours for the topics unaccounted for in my blog. I will do this to ensure I can obtain a higher grade. 

I have the relevant task outlines in my draft blogs, however I am as of yet to physically post the completed blogs to my profile, such as iconic soundtracks. Plus, some of the posts I have included on my blog are incomplete or in the drafts, I need to ensure they are complete! 

The overall presentation of my blog is well laid out, but at a closer glance, I need to make sure the work is more interesting rather than essay like and boring, so I propose to rectify this by adding edits, voice overs and more analytical techniques. I have used storyboards, mind maps and mood boards which I think does improve the presentation a little, but the storyboard needs text added to it. 

Overall, my self evaluation would have to be 10 marks out of the possible 20 marks, which coincides with Level 2. The level is out of the range of levels in which we could achieve for this module, from Level 1 to Level 4.

In all, to get to the next level or higher, I need to plan my work initially in order to ensure I know the ins and outs of what I am gong to do and how to achieve it. For instance, I will make a list of the tasks I need to do and post them to my blog. Also, I will manage my time very wisely as I have learnt time management is key to success. 

This module has taught me a lot about the paradigms of Thrillers, the skills I will need to make a Thriller film, such as how to use a camera properly and efficiently, plus the different factors which are vital to make the film such as continuity, composition and framing. Also, how to work in a team has played a vital part in my learning,  I found that due to my group coming together last, we had a harder time getting the work done, however by putting the time and effort in, we prevailed. I am proud of my achievements in this module and I hope to progress further and complete the tasks at hand.
