End of Half Term Task

You should have completed your slideshare conventions task. (This will provide an excellent framework for Evaluation Question 1)

On Wednesday I want you to rehearse a short (30 sec) sequence)
You must direct your actor(s) and rehearse ready for filming on Thursday
Only limited Miss en Scene (location, props costume etc are not important at this planning stage) However you will be assessed on the Camera shots you take and your Direction of the short film. You will also be the Cameraman.

We will edit ready to present to the class next Thursday 19th October (Last lesson before half -term)

Your end of half term mark will be supported by 20 + posts on your blog specifically showing research in the key conventions

This Assessment grade will be reported 

This Week

Three  focuses from last week's assessment:

Time Management: to gain Level 4 marks - work must be completed on time
Accuracy: Work on Music videos was not complete. This is for a 'Research' grade and a number of students did little or no research. The examples that I had posted on my blog were not even used by some.

If you want to get a good grade you MUST show evidence of quality Research

Use of New media to support your posts. This is key. Images and links are not just to make your posts 'pretty (They do however) They provide real examples of Media Products and show you understand the convention associated with them.

Research thoroughly and Accurately
Please go back and complete the 'Conventions' work increasing and demonstrating your level of research.

By Wednesday you must start using each convention and post examples of how and why it is used for your chosen media brief. 

Only when this is completed can we progress on to the Planning stage and begin the construction of your coursework artefacts.
