Year 12 - Cover Work
Hi guys, very sorry not to be there today. You have two tasks to complete, see the slides below for full instructions for both tasks.
Wednesday 4 January 2012
HAPPY NEW YEAR - Year 12 Media - Pre-production 03/01/12
Today you are going to get into the nitty gritty of your pre-production work. Using the handouts and hyperlinks given your group must complete a first draft of both your storyboard and your script for your short film.
Important things to remember - narrative structure (use your notes from before Crimbo), timings (think about how ling each scene and shot is and how many minutes you have to fill), roles (every member of the group should be contributing to the work positively and constructively), details (the more details you can include now, in the right places, the easier it will be later.
For the storyboarders - make sure your drawings match the type of shot you want and include as much information about camera movement, transitions, shot types, dialogue, sound and lighting.
For the script writers - make sure you think about conversation patterns and realistic dialogue as well as information such as where and when your scene is and the characters movement, facial expressions and use of props.
End of the day - we'll be going back to our production blogs and you will be updating it with the following info;
- what your group did today - DETAILS are needed here. Explain your reasons for decisions etc.
- What you did to contribute to this - again DETAILS are paramount. Explain your reasons for decisions etc.
- A mini evaluation of your project so far - using SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats)
- A mini evaluation of your contribution so far - would the group be successful with or without you - what have you brought to things so far that is unique?

Year 13 - Evaluation
Your evaluation should assess both the processes of your project and the project itself. You should split it into sections - Pre-production, production, post-production and evaluation of the video.
Pre-production - What were the different stages of your pre-production. You must explain what you did, why you did it. Then you need to assess the effectiveness or how successful those decisions were.
Example -
In this evaluation I am going to discuss and analyse my production project. My task was to work in a group to produce a music video. We had to undertake all of the stages of production that a real music video producer would in the industry, we began with research and planning for the production, then we had a production period and finally we completed our post-production. Also like the real industry we had to work to a deadline and display professional standards of working practices.
Research
The first part of our project was to independently research and analyse music video conventions and techniques. This allowed me to fully understand not only the conventions and techniques used in music videos but also the effect these have on the audience. ETC
Pre-production
There are many stages of pre-production such as; pitching, storyboarding, scripting, location checks and risk assessments. ETC
You now need to go through each stage of your pre-production, explain what you did, any problems you faced and how you overcame them. Why you made the decisions you did and how effective or successful you think it was.
Production
As above, go through each stage of your production and explain what you did, why, problems you overcame, how successful these were.
Post-production
As above, go through each stage of your pose-production and explain what you did, why problems you overcame and how successful these were.
