Blog Expectations

Loads of people have been asking what needs to be on the blog by Friday lunchtime, so here is a full list for you:

• 3-4 analyses of film openings
• codes and conventions overview of three genres studied
• continuity piece write up, storyboard and embedding of video from YouTube
  
• questionnaires and summary of results
• business data for chosen genre
• thematic and detailed codes and conventions investigation into chosen genre
• pitch requirements

If you have completed the first draft storyboard and can scan this in, then do so. it will save time after Christmas!

If the work is not completed, then I shall post and record who has not done the work on time, and planning grades will be limited by 5 marks.

Friday Groups

For those groups I teach on a Friday, please go to the PC room upstairs in the LRC. I will expect all blogs to be up to date by 12pm Friday, which is the official end of term.

Failure to do so will limit your possible grade, and i will leave comment regarding the status of your blogs, too!

The Pitch

As a reminder, this is what you need for Thursday/ Friday (depending on which group you are):

• 4 ideas outline
• main story outline in more detail, showing good development and discussion of events leading to final scenes
• main character outline - you should know them as well as you know yourself. detail personality, likes, dislikes, appearance, job, etc
• ideas for location to use
• rough idea of opening sequence structure
• discussion of how genre can be identified through the opening sequence

this is marked as part of your planning, so make it good!!!
