After all your hard work learning the basics of camerawork and editing, now is the time to show what you've learnt and how well you can reflect on the process so far. But first...
- Make sure you use the pod in some of your private study sessions - except Thursday periods 1-3. Finish some of your work, export and embed your films. If I'm not around, ask Ms Stobbs for the key and make sure that you lock the room if you are the last person there. Reminder that you can find me there from 3.10pm and that we also have James there on Tuesday lunchtimes.
- Read the handbook you've been given to find out what else you can do and what resources to seek - there is a list at the back.
- Snehal, I haven't received your mail. I am also missing 3 other blogs. Send me the URL at h.o'shea@parkhighstanmore.org.uk
- Complete the following tasks:
1. No one has included a post about the short films posted below. DO IT - they are there to support and extend your learning. Sum up what you have found out (new things or top tips or ideas) with a few bullet points.
2. Some of you have not completed a proper evaluation of the tasks so far. For each one, the film / task should be embedded and you should aim to address the following:
- What was the purpose of the task?
- What skills did you learn or develop?
- What mistakes did you make or what would you like to improve?
- Do mention specific techniques and use appropriate terminology.
3. Complete the task on Composition - all the pictures you took in class to demonstrate nose room, head room, lead room, eye line, rule of thirds are on the media drive (AS then red folders)- embed them in your post and demonstrate your understanding.
Then watch the following clip to consolidate understanding (the one I was meant to show in class... had I had a working computer). Other rules of composition are mentioned - can you spot them?
4. At home, work on taking photos or short clips to practise composition. This will show engagement and a willingness to make the extra effort.
5. Start researching what we mean by "continuity". We will discuss this next week and you will start planning your coursework Preliminary task then.
All the above should feature on your blog.
NEXT WEEK (Tuesday / WEdnesday):
Meet me in the Media Pod at the start of period 1. You have some editing to finish and we will look at some fresh editing tricks.
Then we'll start on the Prelim!
Aim high; work hard!
