FRIDAY 23rd SEPTEMBER

ASS 3 L4

OPEN EVENING

Please remind me to give you forms if you are available to help on open evening next Wednesday the 28th of September.

Thanks

TUESDAY

INSTRUCTIONS

Please read through the rest of the powerpoint and ensure that the work is completed. Clearly we are not able to work on the editing of the footage which you shot last week but you can and MUST complete the survey and the other home learning.

You will also notice that it was our intention to begin the process of developing ideas for your films. You may already have started this and the time has come for you to begin to put these into words so be prepared with good ideas for Friday.

FRIDAY

Lesson will focussed on developing ideas for trailers, looking at the audience research and seeing how this could apply and a practical task involving the cameras and edit.

SURVEYS

IDEALLY, surveys should be embedded into blogs and you should get friends and family to do them online. Then I'd like you to analyse the results perhaps in a graphic form - google docs can help with this. It can of course be done on paper too.

HOME LEARNING

Please ensure that you have written up your notes on your blogs in detail by Tuesday's lesson.

Remember that you are focussed on the Conventions of a trailer, and the specific conventions of the genre used.

Areas which you must comment on:

• Editing: types of cuts used (straight cut, fades to white or black, dissolves from one image to another), pace of editing, rhythm, whether it mirrors the sound cuts of not, freeze frames and other special editing effects.
• Sound: diegetic or non-diegetic, use of music (including well know songs), voice over/narration (either by character or the 'deep voiced movie trailer man'), synchronised dialogue
• Titles and written language: use of titling and credits, use of written language on screen either over picture, black or another background, position timing and font of titling, how narrative, theme or tome are conveyed through the written language (or not), titles for film marketing including credits, representation of institutions, individual etc.
• Picture: use of camera shots/angles/movement, mise en scene including costume/set/location/lighting etc., acting and moments of drama/comedy/etc. shown, casting (importance of cast and how they feature)

Remember, the more detail you write now the better your research will look later.

OPEN EVENING REQUEST

Open evening is coming up on the 29th of September and this means getting the Media Studies room ready to impress potential students. To do this I need your help both before the day AND on the night.

I know some of you were prepared to help in the holidays and due to a mix up we didn't quite make it happen. Now however is your chance.

There will be two rewards - one in terms of house points and another which may include food or chocolate. However the real reward is knowing that you have done a charitable thing and supported both your school and your subject well. I hope some of you will be willing and able to get involved.

Preparing the room including displays and emptying boxes after school starting next week.

Welcome back

Welcome back to year 11.

Friday's lessons will be about preparing the ground for your Assignment 3 projects.

You will need to be making notes during the lesson on the trailers we watch, and identifying the codes and conventions of both the trailer form and the specific genre of the films.

These notes will need to be transfered into onto your blogs and will in time be written up to go into your portfolio.

The focus on Friday will be CONVENTIONS OF A TRAILER but this doesn't mean that we won't begin to discuss other elements too including camera. lighting, mise en scene, editing, sound and written language.

Brush up on your use of media terms and be prepared to work fast and efficiently.
