What to do this week - 26th Jan -Setting up your group Blog

This week you need to set up another blog for your GROUP. This you will need to name as a production company - it can be anything sensible. You need to set it up using a GROUP email - so perhaps a googlemail account and one you ALL KNOW and ALL KNOW the password for!
Please let me know your additional blog address. See the yr13 page for examples.

You need to show 
what your group has produced, 
the processes you have been through and 
the progress and decisions/revisions you have made.

These things should appear:

On your GROUP BLOG you will post the following every week/lesson:

    * Your Plans for filming and shooting
    * Details of your group discussions and any decisions you've reached
    * Pictures -  and video footage - of shot locations, test shots/shoots, video your meetings/group working (use short snippets to put on your blog)
    * Costume Lists and other organisational things you've done
    * Your storyboards
    * Scans of the planning you've done in your booklets (scanner in C23)
    * Other group discussions and decisions (such as music/mood/narrative)
Once you're filming and then editing:
    * Progress you've made on your film
    * Discussions about edits and cuts you've made
    * Reviews of footage/rushes
    * How this all links to audience and making meaning (and perhaps genre!)
    * Difficulties and Progress you've made with the software (Final Cut Express)
    * Group meeting outcomes
At the end:
    * you will post your video

On your INDIVIDUAL BLOG you will post:

Your personal response to:
    * Plans for filming and shooting
    * Your group discussions and any decisions you've reached
    * Your role in organisational aspects of the planning and shooting
    * The plans you've made (storyline/storyboard etc)
    * Your feelings and thoughts about  group discussions and decisions 
Once you're filming and then editing:
    * Progress you've made on your film
    * YOUR ROLE in filming/editing/organisation/sound - make it clear what YOU have done
    * Discussions about edits and cuts you've made
    * Your personal reaction to footage/rushes
    * How this all links to audience and making meaning (and perhaps genre!)
    * How you're linking what you're doing to what you've learnt on the course (applying theory)
    * Difficulties and Progress you've made with the software (Final Cut Express)
    * Group meeting outcomes
At the end:
    * you will blog your responses to the evaluation questions - BUT these will NOT be typed!

You will also be asked from time to time by your teachers to add things on your blog and these will also need to be added. Basically your group blog shows off your work for marking but your INDIVIDUAL blog shows your contribution to that work and your response and as such has marks attached to it in addition to those you get for the group blog.

Any questions, please ask :-)
