DRAFT EVALUATION TO BLOG BY END OF EASTER

Over the Easter holiday, you will need to write a draft version of your evaluation direct to the blog. In one lesson this week, you will receive advice and instructions on writing this. Listen and read it yourselves carefully before you start on it, but make sure it is done by the deadline (the exam board deadline follows soon!)

EDITING NOW

You should now be editing your rushes. If you have not been given the go-ahead yet by member of staff, make sure that you do asap. Remember to blog all of the processes you have followed in filming and editing, explaining any techniques you have used, and saying why - this should involve detailed reference to actual shots in your sequence (referred to by number or content of shot), with use of terms (eg continuity terms) and thorough discussion of processes.

DEADLINE FOR EDITING (SOUND, IMAGE, TITLING) BY THE END OF TERM - 1ST APRIL

Rushes Deadline Friday March 12th

You should have logged your rushes to your mac by Friday 12th March. If you have had problems getting the filmed material ready by this deadline, you should have spoken to one of your teachers to let them know, so that you don't lose marks for planning. If you have successfully met the deadline, we will endeavour to look at the rushes during Monday to check for obvious errors or insufficient material. You should not start to edit until you have been given the go-ahead by one of your teachers.

Once you have been given the go-ahead, you will be able to use the lessons this week to edit. Don't forget that the editing deadline (for all editing including sound and titling) is just before the end of term. You may need to book additional sessions for editing, but you will not be allowed to book more than 2 sessions on any one day.

DEADLINE APPROACHING!

As you should be aware, the deadline for logging your rushes to the mac is Friday 12th March. Your supervisor will look at the rushes as soon as possible after this date, and suggest any further filming or re-shoots that may be necessary. You should not start editing until you are given the go ahead for this.

Homework, following lessons on title sequences

Additional Homework on Titles and Credits

Using the website "Art of the title sequence" at http://www.artofthetitle.com/, blog another 4 title sequences of your own choice.

Filming
You urgently need to start filming. The next deadline is approaching (12th March). Any animatics not yet completed, need to be ASAP. We need to judge if your proposals are practical, and are not compromising your health and safety.

Film Titles and credits
The Orphanage

1. Are the titles/credits Separate to the moving image, incorporated into/superimposed over the moving image, or is it in the form of a mini narrative?

2. Conduct a textual analysis. You will have formed a strong idea as to what the opening credit sequence is trying to communicate. Cherry Pick "eight" significant aspects relating to its construction. You need to blog "How" the credit sequence has been constructed in order to communicate this. Consider two aspects of Mise en scene, two relating to sound, two relating to camera work and two relating to editing.


Old Boy

1. Repeat the process for "Old Boy"

DEADLINE FOR THIS WORK IS MONDAY 8TH MARCH
