Up to speed

During the lesson on Thursday 24th September you familiarised yourself with your groups blog, how to create, edit and delete posts and how to add images and video to your posts. The blog should record your technical and theoretical development throughout your practical.You have been asked to get your blogs up to speed and to record all your learning so far in terms of your camera skills, prelim task and thriller opening analysis. Appropriately title each post and cover one point per post, for example;


Thriller codes and conventions
Thriller openings
Camera shots, movements and angles (class notes and images)
Camera workshops
Prelim Task


Remember to reference all secondary material correctly.
When using images taken from a google search find out the URL of the site that the image orginated from.
Good luck and we look forward to seeing you next week.

Introduction to the Thriller Blog

Alongside your preliminary video exercise and the production of your thriller film you must present extended class notes, independent research, production planning and evaluation in the form of a group blog. Below is a list of basic requirements that each group must include on their blog:
Ongoing accounts of technical workshops (video/editing) and personal skills development
Independent research into the thriller genre, target audiences, institutions
Notes and records on actors, locations, costumes and props
Pre-Production work including shotlists,scripting, storyboarding, production schedules
Accounts of filming and evaluation of production roles
An individual evaluation
Collect evidence (primary and secondary photographs and videos) as you go along and make regular posts at relevant times throughout the production.
