End of Term 1! (although it's slightly the start of Term 2)

Hi all,




This is a quick update post on where we should be and what should be on your blogs...


Ideally, by now, your blogs should have 10-12 posts (if you have lumped several film openings together in one post, you may have less than this. But not much less!)




Aim to have:

• a brief post on each of the films that your classmates have presented on
• a more extensive post on the films that I showed you the intros to earlier on (Blue Velvet, The Third Man, This is England, Trainspotting, etc.)
• your storyboards (these need to demonstrate how the film will include MATCH-ON-ACTION, SHOT/REVERSE SHOT and the 180 DEGREE RULE.
• An animatic of your storyboard (not crucial, but it will look good and be good prep for other projects later in the year)
• Planning for filming
• an account of the filming process
• an account of the editing process (ongoing)
• an evaluation of your preliminary film (when ready)

ALSO:


MAKE SURE YOUR PRELIMINARY FILM MEETS THE BRIEF!


The Preliminary task is a Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.
