Welcome

Hello everyone and welcome to AS Media Studies!

We are very excited to be following a new brief this year of an opening sequence to a film genre of your choice. Hope you don't find blogger too annoying everyone masters it in the end and it's how we send all your work to the examiners.

Miss Shuttle and Miss Brookes are always at hand to help so don't hesitate to ask.

Good luck in all your A level choices.

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
