Classwork Task 1: 'Ashes to Ashes' Practical and Analysis


  1. Edit the sequence you have re-created. You will need to embed the original as a small screen in one corner to get the timings right and to demonstrate how faithful you have been to the original sequence. You can use all of or bits of the original soundtrack (the extract can be imported into Final Cut).

  2. Now that you've re-created the sequence, complete the two following activities:

a. Think about our impressions of Gene Hunt (as he is introduced to the viewers) and how they are created. Having filmed and edited the sequence yourselves, you should have a good grasp of what the director did.
Use screengrabs to comment closely on camerawork, editing and mise-en-scene. Make sure you also come up with 4 points on soundtrack. (Detailed bullet point s are fine - also use your home-learning task on gender, completed last week)


b. Now suggest some ways (at least 4) in which we could modify our first impressions of Gene through slight changes in the filming and editing, for instance to make him look less sour, less macho, more serious or anything else...

Below is one slightly unfinished version of the re-creation done last year. Can you beat it?
