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

Oh baby, baby
ok here we go, get your dancing shoes on, it's time for some fun, Britney-style!!
Filming slots are Tues afternoon, and weds morning for C groups, weds morning and fri afternoon for E groups. No more time after that so work fast.
You'll need your portable music players and speakers, with the the track downloaded and your school uniforms(!)
For the girls its blouses, ties and skirts - and don't forget the hair bobbles.
For the boys, shirts, ties, blazers or jackets, trousers
Locations - I would suggest the best places as a start would be the 6th form common room and the lower school lockers corridor.
Improvise as much as possible and help out across the groups where necessary. If you want to do extra, you can come and join in with the other class if you're free.
Take a clipboard with you and don't forget to use your whiteboards and number all your shots carefully - this will be essential when it comes to editing.
GOOD LUCK!!
