Research/planning for this week

1. Go to  https://bubbl.us. Use this to write up your lesson mind maps and add to your blog.

2. Confirm your trailer research by taking  9 screen grabs to show how the trailer reflects genre. Set them out as on the Art  of The Title Sequence website- look at previous post. Use annotation tools to add text to the grabs.

3. Make a post about your movie pitch research.

Please keep up to date on your posts this year.

Welcome Back group!!

Hello from JLD!

Hope you all had a good summer and were pleased with your AS results. Most of you did very well on the coursework but the moderator highlighted some key points- some good , some to help you improve.

1. The storyboards were well executed.
2. Good research and development of ideas.
3.Well constructed and enjoyable openings with good range of shots and continuity editing.
4.Some individuals did not show any of their own work -they relied too heavily on the rest of their group.
5.Music was not very imaginative - be more experiemtnal here.
6. Sound levels were inconsisitent
7. Powerpoints were too crowded with information.

The final comment was that it was a pleasure to moderate your work, so WELL DONE!

You will need to really think about sound in your A2 coursework as the expectations are higher still!

It will be fun making a trailer but you will need to have a lot more material to work with and also be more organised with the blogging! And more inventive with the presentation of your work.

See you all soon
