Hello everybody!
You should all have finished your timings now and be moving onto the next stage of your music video production.
This module runs until christmas, so you must all be disciplined with your timings from now on.
In order to receive a mark for this unit, you must provide;
* Evidence of planning and research: each of you needs to have at least one update per lesson on blogger, detailing what progress your group has made and YOUR OWN SPECIFIC ROLE in that progress.
* A treatment, showing a three paragraph outline of the storyline for your video. I recommend you include a certain amount of the band / artist performing, as this will be much easier to film.
* A shooting script containing the camera angles required for each scene in your film. If you are not sure of the names of shots required, check out Guillaume Sabourin's excellent video Camera Angles and Shots on Youtube, URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwbsYgZ7d-8.
For each scene, you need to provide a scene heading, a brief description of the shot and any relevant mise-en-scéne. Below are the standard scene headings, which you can adapt as necessary:
1- INT. CLASSROOM. DAY
2- EXT. PLAYGROUND. NIGHT
3- INT / EXT. CLASSROOM / PLAYGROUND (INTERCUT). DAY.
Int. means Interior (inside shot). Ext. means Exterior (outside shot). Intercut means a scene where you are cutting between the two shots in a scene, for instance if two people are talking to each other through a window, or are on the phone to each other from two different places.
* A storyboard. I have templates for this. it is like a comic strip for your film, showing potential cameramen a typical image from each scene and the information required to shoot each scene.
* Test shots. You need to provide a series of images (these can be photos) providing typical and key images for these scenes. I CAN HELP YOU WITH THIS- ASK ME FOR EXAMPLES.
You all need to work out your individual role in this: cameraman, director, editor etc. IT IS A MODULE REQUIREMENT that you have a clearly defined role.
The minimum each group needs by first lesson next term is completed timings, a treatment and at least one clear log entry detailing your work so far.

Requirements for Y9/Y10 and Y11 Media Studies BTEC students
Hello media studies students!
You have had your first half term to bed into the idea of film production; now the work needs to begin!
The ABSOLUTE MINIMUM of work you need to return with after half term is a three paragraph treatment broken down into scenes, each with a location.
I have produced a list for each of you, containing your laptop number, Blogger URL and a tickbox section. Every time you complete a requirement from the list I will tick it off, and you will need to have a complete row of ticks by the end of term in December. There is plenty of time to produce this in lessons.
Should you not manage this, you will need to continue your work at home, or during break / lunchtime / after school, under your own steam or supervised by me. In case you hadn't worked out, "supervised by me" means in detention, which I really want to avoid, but which will be necessary if you do not produce the volume of work required over the next term.
In order to get a grade AT ALL for this module, there are set requirements for pre-production. You need:
* A treatment with a minimum of three paragraphs, telling the story of your film.
* A breakdown of your treatment into scenes, each with a location, and set out like this:
1- INT. CLASSROOM. DAY
2- EXT. PLAYGROUND. NIGHT
3- INT / EXT. CLASSROOM / PLAYGROUND (INTERCUT). DAY.
Int. means Interior (inside shot). Ext. means Exterior (outside shot). Intercut means a scene where you are cutting between the two shots in a scene, for instance if two people are talking to each other through a window, or are on the phone to each other from two different places.
* A shooting script containing the camera angles required for each scene in your film. If you are not sure of the names of shots required, check out Guillaume Sabourin's excellent video Camera Angles and Shots on Youtube, URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwbsYgZ7d-8.

* Test shots. You need to provide a series of images (these can be photos) providing typical and key images for these scenes. I CAN HELP YOU WITH THIS- ASK ME FOR EXAMPLES.
* evidence of research and planning OR YOU WILL NOT GET A MARK FOR THIS UNIT. Starting next term, you will need to provide a minimum of two Blogger.com entries per lesson; one during the lesson, marking down your research and progress as you do it, and one at the end of the lesson showing how you have progressed from the last lesson.
This is really not a lot to expect in a term and I will help each and every one of you throughout the way. You are all talented and creative and you can all do it! Good luck, and i will see you in your next lesson.
