Green Screen

I will organise some Green screen planning & filming for you this week to explore potential filming for your brief as part of your 'Research & Planning" section

Thanks for your informed Feedback on Short stories, Trailers, and Music Video.
Make sure your blogs detail each feedback session with links to the Slideshares and importantly some of your analysis and thoughts about the these potential Construction briefs. (A strength & weaknesses considering their appropriateness for your coursework would be helpful.)
Your Blogs must be consistently analytical and evidence provided your decisions & revisions.

Some posts to help you

4 blogs here that may help shape your how to organise your blog for Evaluation Answers. (Some of the links are no longer available but this should help shape your work)

In the 'Group folder' you will find a folder labelled 'A2 4 Questions Exemplars"

• You will find some previous responses to Evaluation 1-4.
• All these are presented in KeyNote/PPT versions but would be a useful way to plan your draft answers before converting to PODCAST/VIDEO/SLIDESHARE etc later.
• Have a look at the 'A2 Template for 4 questions' - This may be a useful way to plan your initial answers.
• QUALITY control - Some of the sample blogs do not have enough posts, are not up to your quality but will provide a framework for your answers.
• I have placed a CONVENTIONS Music PPT in the group which will help you with your answers to Question 1
• Also USE GOOGLE - Type in the exact 'Evaluation question' search engine and multiple posts will appear. Again ensure quality control.
