This weeks task - Conventions Presentation

Research Task to present this Thursday (28th September 2017)

Please note: Unfinished work or non-attendance will receive a U grade for this terms first progress grade.

Please make sure your posts are up to date from last week's task and continue to post approx 5 more posts to show your work on this Research task.

The Task to present on Thursday Period 2.
I introduced this to you on Wednesday 20th September - so I trust your research is well underway

Using your choice of brief:
 Select the Main task e.g. Music Video, Trailer, Documentary. 
(Do not include the ancillary tasks at this stage.) and create a Power point (or Key note ) presentation examining the conventions of you main task video.

Method
Read carefully and follow accurately. 
  • Label this work as ‘Research’
  • Title each post with a clear explanation of what you are doing
  • Research as many conventions as possible - this is will be key to the de-construction and construction of your work
  • Use Search engines (Google etc) to direct your research from a variety of sources.
  • Please use Video links, & mages to support your analytical writing.
  • Reference multiple style models to show the extent of your research. Referencing 1 or 2 will severely limit your grades
  • Upload your finished Powerpoint/Key Note to Slideshare for Thursday’s marking sessions.

NB: Unfinished work or non-attendance will receive a U grade for this terms first progress grade.

On Thursday we will use the points above to group mark your work.

Remember this will provide most of the content for Evaluation Question 1 and if you do this thoroughly your Evaluation Mark (& your research & Planning marks will benefit)

Make sure you post ( at least 5 posts) and explain the research you are doing? 

At the end of this task you will have a clear understanding of the Conventions for your chosen brief.


Please use the Media language (in bold) in Evaluation question 1 in your posts ref:

'In which ways does your Media Product use, develop or challenge forms & Conventions of Media Products'

The week ahead

We will give you some time to finish your Pre-lim tasks from last year:


Research Carefully and BLOG everything you do.
By the end off this week you must:
  1. Have created an A2 blog - (most did this at the end of last year) with your name and A2media in the address.
  2. Begin compiling potential Style Models videos that will influence your potential construction task
  3. The Next stage will be to identify the conventions of these videos and tentatively begin to analyse them.

This Half -Terms work will provide most of the Material for Evaluation Question 1 which asks:

"In which ways does your Media Product use, develop or challenge forms & Conventions of Media Products "

Post on your Blog at every opportunity. e'g 3 posts a lesson = 9 per week in 30 weeks = 270 posts = 20/20 for your Research & Planning.

Using Style models to support your work.
