The brief and using the blog

Welcome to the blog. Your AS coursework planning, research and evaluation will be submitted to the exam board via your blog. This means that when a post is added you  must :

1. use own words;
2. be written accurately with good sentence structures, correct spelling and in an appropriate tone;
3. not copy information from the interweb;
4. acknowledge sources of clips etc.

You also need to check for new posts and what you need to do each week. The more you show use of technical skills the higher your marks will be. Try putting on a much as poss- tryouts in lessons, skill development etc.


Good Luck.


As part of your foundation portfolio you will have to produce two short filmed artefacts. 

The Preliminary task is a Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.

The main task is to research, plan and make the titles and opening of a new fiction film, to last a maximum of two minutes. You can work on your own or in a group, maximum of 3. All research and planning should be completed individually.
