Thank you for taking the time to look at our blogs. We hope you enjoy them!

Hi all,

As I said, I am currently marking your blogs this half-term. I am through a few of them and have major concerns. For a start, it appears most of you are missing your evaluation questions. You need ALL 7 of them on your blog. Secondly, your blogs need to be laid out in the older format - as your labelling/organisation is terrible and I am struggling to navigate them to access the information needed. This is seriously detrimental to your grade - the examiners will not be impressed!!! Thirdly - your evaluation questions must be detailed - one paragraph of writing is not sufficient. They also must be visual and use a range of media to present it. At the moment, evaluations are very poor.

We literally about a week to turn it around when we get back. On top of preparing for exams. You must, must, must try to improve these before you return to school. Your final grade depends on it. Email me any questions - shuttle@bchs.essex.sch.uk

As we won't have a lesson today and you cannot use 107, please can you go away and ensure that you do more research/blogging for the hour.

Many thanks,

Exemplar student blogs

Your planning and research is nearing an end. Please have a look at exemplar student blogs to ensure that all your work is up to date and ready for assessment before your final production is complete. Just one person can upload the others' work and you can then get it off their blog.

Here are some exemplar student blogs, have a look at their planning ie storyboards and productions.

BFI Film openings

I think everyone found the event very useful, we finished by marking other student work and we shall do more of this in class. Please share notes with those who couldn't attend. What I got from it as a teacher that I would want to pass on to you is: A lot of filming practise and editing help avoid any major disasters on real shoot Make clear the genre, narrative (enigma), character, atmosphere and setting in your synopsis from task list Plenty of research into similar genre and real and student openings - youtube G321 or AS Film openings or just film openings Music/Foley 50% of the atmosphere Titles research very important gets taken for granted. One title research task each feedback to your group. Keep taking pictures of everything you do for your blog. Also keep copy of different editing stages. Blog, blog, blog

Hey Guys, For this lesson you need to: Upload production diaries onto blogs. Complete LAP Charts for lesson, including objectives. Upload feedback from presentations. Continual individual planning and research. You must stay in 107 and I will be down at the end of the lesson to check that this is complete.
