Welcome back to our most creative time.

This term the aim of A2 it use your story boards clearly, influenced by your chosen style models, to move into the Production stage of your coursework.

Planning of all elements of 'mis en scene' must be clearly presented in your posts in relation to your specific job roles.

Explain the reason behind your choice of: 

  1. Location, 
  2. Costume, 
  3. Props, 
  4. Actors, 
  5. Lighting, 
  6. Camera angles, 
  7. Sound, 
  8. SFX etc. 

Importantly how does this influence your narrative and what does it say to the audience?
You must organise your filming schedule in the next couple of weeks. 

This will enable you to make decisions and revisions within a reasonable time frame.
It will also enable you to think about editing (Post Production)

Remember our aim is to complete the filming and create our Music video by Christmas 2014 (only 6 weeks away!!!)

Finally you will need to organise time in my lessons and after curriculum to successfully complete this 'creative process'.

Good luck.
