practical task - outcomes / continuity task COMPLETION AND PEER ASSESSMENT

This week you have three lessons on the Continuity Task.

Ms Humpleby's lessons Wednesday p1 / Thursday p2 to review, refine and to complete the film. On Friday, in Ms Moore's lesson we will all watch the final Film Noir Fairy Story short films that you have produced in the lesson: each group needs to present  a film for viewing and assessment.  I will video the spoken presentations so that you can add it to blogs later. 

This film will act as the  Preliminary exercise aka 'The Continuity Task' and so must include the set requirements: 

• shot-reverse shot
• match on action
• 180 degree rule
•  and the set action: a person opens a door, walks through and across the room, sits and exchanges dialogue with another person

Please prepare the following:

1. A brief introduction to your film - keep it to under 2 minutes and explain what you were trying to achieve / how you organised it and who is responsible for each task/job role.
2. The best evidence of planning from your group - this must be available on the author's blog
3. The film itself

TFS (tips for success):

• if you are behind organise and agree tasks and share the workload so that all the work is completed to deadline
• take time to rehearse your presentation and practice content / timing
• use as many media terms and as much media language as you can - it shows understanding and higher levels of ability/attainment (read your blogs and mine to check the suitable language)

WHAT IF WE HAVE FINISHED THE FILM ALREADY

1. Use the time to refine and make your film the very best quality that you can produce.
2. make sure that ALL blog posts are up to date and are the very best quality that you can produce AS WELL AS  a good quality of content AND range of techniques/technologies used
3. Plan and prepare a way to collect audience feedback and EBI/Tips for success (T4S) - these can be given out on paper or digitally (try using Polleverywhere / Survey Monkey)
4. EXTENSION TASK: write a 700 word evaluation of this activity: the Research, Planning, Organisation and Production.
