FINAL DAY OF FILMING/EDITING

By the end of today (or by tomorrow 12noon if you REALLY want to cut it fine), you must have uploaded your FINAL version of your 'Constructed Film' to YouTube.

You must:

Upload it in the best HD possible (think it's 1084HD)

Call it: 'Mac (insert number) AS - 2012 - '(title of your film)'

so it'd look like this on YouTube:

Mac 2 AS - 2012 - 'Fragile'

Eventually, I need to copy all of your films onto a hard drive and put them all on Mac 6 ready to be ripped to DVD for the moderator - but we'll do that on the Thursday lesson when we get back after Easter - in the meantime, how are the Evaluations coming along??

Organising Your Blogs

This is the blog I showed you yesterday - look at how all 3 components are always at the top of her blog, no matter what post you go onto:

Don't forget to use this to organise your labels as well.

Help with editing your Evaluations

Evaluations to Research

Here're are those examples from today's lessons - I'm not saying they have to be ANYthing like these, but they're good to get an idea how to prepare for them.



Like I said today, I really like the idea of 7 different clips, addressing each Eval question but it is entirely up to you.



Also, as confirmed today, you can do your eval in pairs - remember Daisy's suggestion of interviewing each other - that would be excellent.



Whatever you end up doing, make it FORMAL:

Evaluation of your Coursework

Here're the questions you have to answer in your Evaluations:

1. In what ways does your film opening use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

2. How does your film opening represent particular social groups?

3. What kind of media institution might distribute your film opening and why?

4. Who would be the audience for your film opening?

5. How did you attract/address your audience?

6. What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this film opening?

7. Looking back at your prelim task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the final film opening?

As I said to a few of you last week, feedback from last year's moderator said this:

"Planning and Research was of a proficient to excellent standard throughout and the candidates’ artefacts supported this. It is clear that candidates have been supported and encouraged to research the forms and conventions of genre as well as the industrial conventions associated with the opening of a feature film. Planning shows progression from an initial idea to final construction. The number of blog entries, and the use of ICT, was most impressive. Marking was generally in line with the agreed standard.

The constructions used forms and conventions appropriately, particularly through the use of idents and titles. The best work showed a good understanding for shot composition and used a range of shot types for effect. Most candidates had obviously very carefully considered mise-en-scene and the range of different styles were refreshing to watch.

However the evaluations were overmarked because the format chosen (video interviews embedded on blogs) was not fully exploited. Their brevity, particularly considering some were the work of up to four candidates, hindered them from discussing their responses in detail, and too often comments were superficial and not supported with appropriate examples. Candidates should remember that this component is worth as much as the Planning and Research, and this time should be reflected in their final evaluation.

This Centre has been a pleasure to moderate."

See?? It's not good practice to have all four of you in the one vid - but I think we ought to discuss the use of maybe a max of two of you - that way, at least a discussion of some sort could take place.
