Foundation Portfolio Homework

Hi guys,

This week, your homework for Wednesday is all focused on your Foundation Portfolio PLANNING.

You won't have other research essays for this week's homework BUT you will be expected to be putting homework time, outside of class, into producing an impressive, in depth planning Blog entry that covers all of the following sub-headings;

1. Concept
2. Treatment
3. Brainstorm
4. Storyboard
5. Logo & Credits design and rationale
6. List of characters and props (with visuals)
7. Location and setting photos and plans
8. Script
9. Call-sheet/ shooting schedule/ shot list

Remember to upload and present old versions of all your planning. As you make changes, these can be logged and uploaded to show your creative process at a later date.

GROUP BLOG

This planning should ALL be reflected in your group blog with correct labelling and tags.

Please make sure this is all uploaded,  checked and ready for marking on Wednesday for Media class. This will mean we can jump straight into filming on Thursday! Exciting!

Sing out if you need any help!

Logo Investigation


Time for the next blog task, everyone!

Let's have a look at this peer exemplar!

We need to research film company logos.  Look up images and the history of their creation, and make observations on what seems to be involved in creating a company logo.

Provide example images and a strong paragraph describing your findings.

Apply this information to the design of your company's logo.  Again, provide example images and a strong paragraph. You should have at least 5 and maximum 8 logos investigated on your blog and then additionally, your film production company logo too.

I suggest you start the logo investigation links in the research section of our class blog for some ideas.


Have fun!

Representation Essay

Hi guys

This week, as well as focusing on your planning for your Foundation Portfolio, you are required to write an essay on representation.

I want you to watch the following extract from a TV Drama series, a few times.

The first time, just watch it. The second time, take some notes. The third time, take some more notes as you actively look for representational codes, stereotypes and messages that are presented to us about any of the 7 core media representations that you can identify or recognise in this clip.

Keep the following questions in mind;

1. What groups are being represented to us?
2. Are the messages challenging or conforming to what the media usually portrays in relation to this specific group?
3. How are the 4 technical elements used to send a message about the characters and who they represent in society?

This needs to reflect not just surface observations but a deeper analysis of the way different societal groups are represented and how that impacts the viewer and ultimately society on a broader scale.

All the best and I'm looking forward to seeing your rough draft for marking on Friday.
