G321 evaluation powerpoint

In the evaluation the following questions must be answered:

1.      In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

2.      How does your media product represent particular social groups?

 

3.      What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

 

4.      Who would be the audience for your media product?

 

5.      How did you attract/address your audience?

 

6.      What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

 

7.      Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

 

Remember, although you are presenting your research and planning via your blogs, you can use other media to provide your evaluation. Other acceptable formats include Prezi, DVD extras, podcast, and website.

 Below is the presentation from the lesson - you only really need to refer to slides 10 - 24

G321 Final Research and Planning and Task Guidance.

First a little gentle reminder of the timescale remaining;

All research and planning work MUST be with me by the 27th March. Ideally you will also be in a position to submit a finished film.

Films, if not submitted before Easter, MUST be ready for the first lesson, the first week back (Monday 13th April period 2). These can be either uploaded to YouTube and a link provided on your blog or you can put the film onto a pen drive or disc and hand it to me. Please clearly mark disc/pendrive with your name.

Evaluations will be completed by the 24th April. There are six questions you need to answer and I will be going through these next Monday so that you are clear about what you need to do.

Therefore you have six weeks, including the holidays, to get all this work finished and handed to me. Work is being sent to the exam board on the 27th which means I have no room to move the final submission date by.

Although not all of this work is to be submitted electronically it is advisable that you do. You will need to submit work electronically next year.

I have taken screenshots of relevant pages from the exam board spec which should answer any of your questions;

 

Hopefully this answers any questions you have about the task and the expectations of the exam board.

Example Research and Planning for G321

Initial ideas mind map;

This shows my first thoughts on the three possible genres. From this I can see I have the most knowledge and understanding of the horror and syfy/fantasy genre. Horror would be easier to do while some of my ideas for syfy/fantasy are possibly a little out of my means. 

Ideally I'd like to combine the two creating a horror urban fantasy cross genre...

G321 Coursework marking

I have started to mark your blogs for the research and planning component of G321 and am a little surprised to see work still missing.

I posted the link to the booklet, which explained what you needed to include and had advice on how to do well, a while back. All of you should have saved a copy to refer to - especially as the booklet had a checklist of tasks on the back. I am assuming that not all of you did.

I have uploaded the booklet to slideshare, and posted it below, for you to access. I suggest you do.

G321 booklet(1) from Charlotte Cowles

For those of you missing work, I have graded what you have on your blogs. I will look at them again on the 9th March. If work is still missing you will be expected to attend intervention.

G321 Task

A helpful article for you to look at with examples of really effective opening scenes. Might help with ideas...

Ten Great Opening Scenes

The 180 Degree Rule: Doing it Right, Doing it Wrong & Doing it With Thre...

Clearly demonstrates the 180 degree rule in action - much better than my attempts to explain!

Types of Film Cuts

Really useful video about different type of cuts with clear examples.

Year 12 - set tasks 21/10

Today I'd like you to begin preparing for your first piece of AS coursework analysis.  I have copied and pasted a couple of links below to help.

You need to have made a note of relevant key terms using the following glossary as well as supplementing it with your own research (for example antagonist and protagonist are not on this list);

Read through the following two pages on Key Concepts and what you need to think about when analysing;

Finally, look at the AS blogs from last year's class as well as those included on Reepham's blog as they are generally quite good.

On Thursday I expect you to bring either a copy of the opening two minutes to watch and analyse OR screenshots that you intend to talk about. I aim to mark this analysis over half term week.
