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
