Welcome back Year 13!!
Advanced Production 2007
Many congratulations to all of you on fantastic media AS results; I am beyond proud and no words can express how delighted I was for you all. WELL DONE from me, Ms Brookes and Mrs Dymioti. It's lovely to see you all back for Media A2 as well.
No time to waste now, you need to get cracking with your pre-production work straight away. The production will all be over in about 6-7 weeks time so now's the time to really focus the mind.
Don't forget, you have print materials (album cover and press release) to produce as well as a music video!
Important dates:
Shoot weekends
Test shoot weekend:
15+16 September
2nd shoot weekend:
22/23 September
3rd shoot weekend:
29/30 September
These weekends must be kept clear so as not to restrict filming opportunities. You will also need to utilise time during the school day and after school as much as possible from now on for the next 6 weeks for planning, shooting, editing.
School closures
Weds 19th September - 1/2 day
Thurs 27th September - day off (INSET Day)
These dates will be ideal for filming so keep them free
Coursework deadlines
Production deadline: 12 October (some flexibility if needed)
Draft essay deadline: 29 October
Final project deadline: 12 November
The details are all in the new schedule handed out in the 1st lesson back. Ask me for a copy of you were absent.
Books/ wider reading
As part of your research and planning, you may want to have a look at the books in the department on album covers and music videos The are full of stunning art work and images and are really inspirational!
Group and individual blogs
I haven't had a chance to go through them all yet and see what you've been up to, but I know there's been a lot of progress in several groups over the summer so well done. Keep blogging your evidence and keeping it all up to date so you can get marks for it. Mrs Dymioti and I will be looking through it all over this week and working closely with each group so if you have any problems or concerns you can ask then.
Finally - Hollywood. If you're hoping to come but haven't paid your deposit, see me as a matter of urgency.
Thanks everyone; good luck with the project and the new term

Group meetings
Ok I know some of the groups are racing along, but I have concerns about some of you and where your project is heading. I know time is tight, so don't let this term slip away without getting to the crucial stage in this project. The bottom line is this:
regardless of absence, cancelled lessons, end of term etc: by Thursday of this week you should have arranged a meeting with me to listen to your final track selection, made a decision and have some idea of an outline treatment for your video.
Once you have got this far, at least your group can go off for the holidays in the knowledge that you are all moving and thinking in the right direction.
Groups: this is how I see it as of Monday 16th July (please check group blogs for individual group feedback)
2E - I'm feeling confident about your progress, looking forward to the results of your location recce, love the track, keep up the momentum
3E - again feeling confident about your progress, excellent choice of track, now let's move forward on the idea, grab a slot with me as soon as poss to talk things through. very concerned about the lack of a group blog though; I have now set this up for you and expect to see all your evidence on it as soon as.
1C - no communication with me as yet, but I can see from the blog that you are making progress. love the one track on the blog.
2C - liked the initial choice of songs, but we need a decision and some focus.
3C - I kn0w you have made progress but as yet I haven't heard any of the 3 final tracks; ideas look good though
4C - feeling confident about your final 2 tracks; I know you're working on potential treatments so let's make a final decision asap and move this one on
So - lots of group meetings needed, communication with me, some real focus and determination to see this through, and good record keeping so things don't get forgotten in 6 weeks time. Even a 15 minute meeting with me could move things on loads.
This week is very flexible for me; I am available much of the time to listen to tracks and finalise ideas. Free slots are:
Tuesday: all morning(!), break, P6, part of lunch and after school
Wednesday: P2, 3, 4, 5, break, lunch, possibly P6
Thursday: P2, 3, possibly P6, 7, 8, break, lunch, after school until 4.10
Friday: P1, plus during the media lessons 2 - 5
update: bookings made for 2C 1pm tues, 3E 12.45 weds
Make sure we meet before Friday to be confident of a decision as the last day is bound to be manic!

Britney edit
come on guys, we're close to the finish with the britney video but still some outstanding problems. I want to show this in the lesson on Friday so you can see what works/ what doesn't regarding performance, lip synching, framing etc.
If your group have signed their section off with me then fine, but if you haven't, the final edit is being put together on tues and I need to see you.
Completed groups are 1E/C, 2E, 2C, 4C. There are ongoing problems with 3E and 3C that won't take long to resolve but are holding things up, so please come and find out what needs to be done.
Thanks Ms B
