Thoughts on the Evaluation

Today I would like you all to show me your filming so far and the progression of ancillary tasks.

You will be provided with a mark scheme for the evaluation and a breakdown of each question. Remember the evaluation is very important - many students rush this without any thought to the presentation or the depth of their answers. Each of your answers are scrutinised very carefully! Examiners do like you to present each question differently - try to use technology in a creative way. Please do not present every question as a PowerPoint presentation or a  Prezi. Be different! Be creative! Consider how you could engage the examiner! See your blog as a brand in itself! You could create a brief video to demonstrate your new found editing skills or even the use of sound. If you are writing about technology it is important to use technology.

Remember the new deadline is : Thursday, 16th January.

Everything must be on your blog : Research&planning; production and evaluation. Read through your booklets, ensure every blog is uploaded.

Wishing you all a well-deserved break and a very happy Christmas!

Filming

Hi

For Tuesday, I would like you all to have a piece of film for us all to evaluate and discuss. This will be a forum of sorts, where we can discuss and provide filming advice. Ensure you have your film on a memory stick with an explanation of your idea. We'll try to do this again the following week too.

So just to be clear:

• a piece of film at least 2 mins long.
• an explanation of your idea.

FOR TUESDAY!

Thanks

Miss Cassidy

Planning anf Construction

Pleased to see there are a lot more blogs! Keep updating!

Please make sure all of your research and planning posts are blogged as soon as - plus a 4 point action plan based on what you identified when marking previous students' work - how has this informed you?

You then must make a real start with your planning and construction. Follow your booklet closely to guide you!


Thanks

Miss Cassidy

Get Blogging

Hello Bloggers!

Just a gentle reminder that you should be now working towards the planning stage. Ideally today , you should be preparing moodboards and creating a storyboard for your video. You should be following your booklet to guide you and keeping to those deadlines!

Please ensure that the following research blogs are posted by Monday:

• The research methods you will be using.Qualitative or quantitative? Primary or secondary Or both? Which will be most beneficial for your brief?
• Textual analysis of existing text of your genre - this should be at least two.
• Analysis of a previous student's work - someone who has chosen the same brief as you. Explain what they have done well  and how they have influenced your ideas.
• Directors of your genre and their influences.

By Tuesday, we should be all starting the planning stages of your c/work.

Happy Blogging!

Miss Cassidy

Welcome Back! Back to Work!

Welcome Back!!

I truly hope you had a great summer - a summer which hopefully gave you ideas and inspiration for the music video you really want to create. Did you take any snaps of bands,places or random weirdness which inspired you? For example, did you see any locations or people you would like to include in your video?
In today's lesson, we'll be discussing ideas once again, making a final decision and to research the history and evolution of your chosen genre.

Order of lesson:

• Discuss results, summer and further ideas.
• Overview of coursework and booklet
•  Make a decision!
• Begin research and to identify one of the first/seminal music videos of your chosen genre.

Miss Cassidy.
