Get set...

Hello everyone!


Well done on the first edits.

Where to go from here:

  • Finish any "polishing" on your edits, export the video
  • Complete your mini-critical reflections on the task - I recommend you practise using some of the resources on your Web 2.0 handouts!  (bubbl.us / slideshare.net / etc)
  • Do the above in your time.  Schedule use of Media Studies room with T. Marcus if needed.
  • Due 9am Tuesday 31st March


While you're doing that...
  • Plan out Preliminary Task 2!

Second filming task brief-
  • Two characters
  • Both walk to a meeting place (together or separately is fine)
  • An object is given to or taken from one of the characters
  • Short chase sequence - resolved one way or the other!
  • Two lines of dialogue
  • A "discovery" or "revelation" moment
  • 1 - 2 mins maximum length

Technical elements required:
  • Use at least one extreme-wide / establishing shot, one close-up (CU) and one extreme close-up (ECU).
  • Use 180-degree rule
  • Use shot-reverse-shot
  • Use match on action
  • Use Thriller conventions
  • Consider the Critical Reflection questions as you prepare for the main task!


Once again, the Critical Reflection questions can be found on the syllabus handouts from earlier in the year, or in your notes from when we wrote them out for discussion.


Remember to keep Reflection notes for blogging!  Notes should include-

  • Process of research, planning and production
  • Include refinement and changes
  • Reflect on key moments
  • Include individual contribution to any and all group tasks
  • You may share "global" resources such as the storyboard and script for your critical reflections
