THE RESULTS

Now that I have your attention.

The first stage of the process is complete and the votes indicate some really clear decisions which you as a group of individuals have made.

The three favourite film projects are in no particular order:

Time   by Paige
The Lost Girl    by Mia
Heart of Death     by Hana

These three projects together garnered nearly 75% of all the votes cast and therefore they will be going forward.

However, there was no clear 4th fourth amongst the rest of the films and I would like to open this up to the rest of you to develop your ideas and re-pitch them next Monday P6. If you are really disappointed NOT to have been picked then use this opportunity to show your true worth.

If you DON'T want to take your idea further and would like to work on one of the three chosen so far than that is okay but remember that a maximum of 4 students can work on a film so we need another film project which ever way we look at it - you may NOT get to work on the film of your choice.

Souita - you have missed classes but you don't have to miss out. Please ensure that you attend next week and pitch your idea.

HW: Paige, Mia and Hana - developing your trailer idea to the next stage - narrative structure of the trailer and first ideas for a storyboard.

All others: either improve and develop your Pitch further OR Write up the reasons why you would like to work on one of the three films and what role you would like to take, skills you can offer.

WORK SHOULD BE COMPLETED ON BLOGS OR EMAILED TO ME BEFORE MONDAY.

HW or DETENTION - the choice is yours....

HW on the blog or in your books

All HW must be completed on the blog or in books and I will be checking this tomorrow in lessons.

Please make sure that you are up to date.

Narrative L1

LESSON 1

Watch the trailer above and see if you can identify the conventions of the genre - remember this is a hybrid so there will be a few different conventions. 

IMPORTANT: Identify the conventions of trailers and discuss how they are used in this genre. 

Example: Voice Over is used to introduce characters and narrative - how does the use of Voice Over support the genre of the trailer? 

HW - type your analysis of Warm Bodies (400 words) and submit it using the file drop option below. File types accepted include .doc and .pdf. and upload to FrogOS or embed on your blog or email to me.

If you cannot get the link on the ePortal to work use the link above. You will still need to login as usual using your school login. Let me know if it doesn't work.

Year 11

Welcome back.

The results for the Year 11s and the Year 10 Extra Curricula classes - I will share their success with you on our return, though some of you may already know what your friends achieved. It was our best year yet, so you have quite something to measure up to.

Lessons begin this week and we need to get off to a quick start to make our deadlines, so I will be asking you all to be prepared to launch your Assignment 3 film trailer ideas over the next week, after we have regrouped and reminded ourselves about what it is we are supposed to be doing this term - making movies.

Please show me that you have read this post by making a post on your own blog and thereby updating it. And if you have completed any work over the summer this is you chance to get it up onto the blog and begin your portfolio.
