  Complete the following: 1) Get into pairs or work individually. Note: although the planning and filming can be done collectively, all students MUST edit their OWN video. 2) Plan out the different shots, angles and examples of camera movement you need to include. -Extreme close-up -medium shot -close up -very long shot -medium closeup 3) Film everything you need - as creatively as possible. You can use comedy, narrative or just keep it simple. However, you MUST make sure the framing and labelling using media terminology is accurate. This means text on screen as part of your editing process. 4) Edit your video to approximately one minute, adding music, voiceover, effects and anything else that will make your film visually effective and entertaining for an audience. You can edit in school using Premiere Pro but are welcome to edit at home if you have the laptop/PC to do it.

Blog feedback and learner response

WWW: You’ve made an excellent start to Media on the coursework side – well done! Your blog is fully up to date and your mise-en-scene recreation was hugely ambitious and enjoyable. You’ve also picked out some interesting stills and scenes for your analytical task too. EBI: One key priority is to work on the level of depth and detail in your analytical tasks. For both the film poster analysis and mise-en-scene tasks you make some good points and pick out relevant factors but ideally we want to offer a lot more detail, exploring a range of meanings or perspectives. This will help us target those top grades as 70% of the A Level is exam-based to go alongside the practical work. LR: Create a blogpost on your Media 2 Coursework blog called ‘Blog feedback and learner response’, copy this feedback in and then complete the following learner response.
