For Year 11 Media Studies BTEC Students

Hello everybody, I am away today, but there is plenty of work for you to get on with.

1.) Write a new post in Blogger.com describing the work you did last week and what you learned about character profiles.

2.)   Look on BBC Writers Room website http://www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/insight/childrens_drama.shtml and read through the first few scenes of the shooting script for The Sarah Jane Adventures- The Vault of Secrets Part 1.

3.) Write new post on Blogger.com describing the  layout of the script and how this will help you with your own scripts.

4.)   Revisit Guillaume Sabourin’s video “Camera angles and shots” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwbsYgZ7d-8 and write notes in your own words describing each shot.

5.)   Carry on with breaking your treatment down into scenes.

Save work and log off.

AFTER LUNCH

1.) Watch original District 9 short film on Youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlgtbEdqVsk then write down all the different camera angles you saw and post on Blogger.com.

2.)   Continue with scene breakdown of treatment, including camera angles where possible.

3.) Log onto each other’s Blogger.com and review each other’s scene breakdowns so far, writing a comment giving two positives and one thing which would make the script even better.

Save work and log off.

This should keep you busy for the two lessons. I look forward to reading your results on Blogger.com.

Mr Pyle.
