Radio

In preparation for the new topic in MS4, start to collect articles on radio. You might want to start with BBC after the recent proposed cuts to Radio 6. You will find articles about this online and in the newspapers at the moment. The Guardian on a Monday have a Media supplement (available the library) which would be useful for anything we are studying for MS4.

British Cinema

The following is useful for two things:

Revision for the exam (This is England) but mainly could be used for your Research Investigations, considering you are all discussing issues around British Films.

We have a copy of the library:

The British Cinema Book (BFI publications)

by Murphy and Roberts

Evaluation of the trailer

On the completion of your trailer, you will now need to make sure your blog contains an Evaluation of the finished product.

Suggestions:

How does your trailer compare to a real media text? (be specific)

You need to be reflective about the strengths and areas for improvement of your trailer.

How has your production been informed by the research undertaken? (into either genre, narrative or representation)

How does it communicate and appeal to your chosen target audience?

Deadline: Mon 22nd February 2010

Thursday!

At the end of the lesson on Thursday I will be taking in your first drafts of the RESEARCH INVESTIGATION.

If there are some bits missing, make sure you annotate your work to make it clear precisely what should be in there.

If you hand this on on Thursday it means you get the benefit of my wisdom and advice so I can help you achieve the highest mark possible.

Please see me before Thursday if you need any help or guidance.

Progress task

Make sure you know precisely what you have left to do.

• Filming last minute bits
• Finalising editing (and getting the timing right with everything in the right places)
• Institutional data
• Captions
• Film logos
• Voice overs
• Music
  

The only way to get this right is by watching as many trailers as you can that are similar to what you're aiming to achieve.

By the end of the lesson (by way of commenting on this post) I want to know exactly what is left to do, who is responsible for doing and when it will be done. (One entry per group)

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a good break and are fully refreshed ready for a term of editing, researching and playing computer games!

The clock is ticking. You have 6 weeks to go until the deadline.

The final deadline for the finished video and your blog is FEBRUARY 12th 2010.

As a group you need to decide what is left to do.

I want to see evidence of a schedule from each group.

Each member of your group needs to have a clearly defined role to be working on at this stage.

• Editing
• Sound
• Graphics
• Titles
• Voice over

Folder Check

I am going to be checking to see that you have been keeping up-to-date with this blog and adding notes to your own folders.

So far you should have substantial notes from this blog and other research you have done. This will be mainly about the 3 films we have studied.
